    Procter & Gamble announced it will raise prices on about 25% of its U.S. products starting in August as it works to offset rising tariff-related expenses.
    Yup, directly related to trump's economy.


    It is,but...markets up again, and...




    Yahoo Finance


    US economic growth rebounded in the second quarter after contracting for the first time in three years to start 2025.

    Gross domestic product grew at an annualized pace of 3% in the second quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis's advance estimate. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had expected a 2.6% increase.

    The reading comes after a large surge in imports ahead of President Trump's tariff whipsaw caused GDP to contract by 0.5% in the first quarter.

    The Dow is up a whopping 0.65% at this moment since 1/21/25. 

    The Dow is @ 4% ytd, and nasdaq and s and p @ 9%….most investors would take that any year. 


    My point was …considering the intrusive nature of tariffs, the economy is holding its own. Trump was warned by the markets in the spring, and knows his limits imo.
    3.85%  gain was Jan 1-Jan 21.... trump's first day that the stock market was open was Jan 21.  
    Earlier this week I looked at the S&P growth since Jan 21. It was 7%. Same period for Biden was 13%. Total Biden from inauguration until exit was 37%
    Yup, just to be clear, I was looking at the Dow as a whole.
    Yeah some guy I was talking to on a plane said that his 401k is finally doing well now that Trump is in office.  I had to break it to him that either he doesn't pay attention or he missed a serious rally for three years.

    He’s as spineless as they come. However, it is going to become part of our lexicon that when allies allow an ally to be invaded and defeated, as in the case of Ukraine, it’ll be known as having been “COOTWHed.” Surrender monkey such as he is. Spineless.

    so trump made the smithsonian take any mention of his two impeachments from their display on impeachment. 

    they are rewriting history now. most of us alive now remember his two impeachments, but kids in high school now won't ever learn it.

    @shecky Sleep well, eh?

    It certainly doesn’t seem as if much governance is going on in Trump’s White House. As Josh Marshall pointed out today in Talking Points Memo, when the head of the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy resigned today, it turned out that the White House had never formally appointed him in the first place. Marshall added: “We’re six months into this administration and it wasn’t even clear whether this guy was ever in the position at all….  And now he’s gone from the position…that he may or may not have held. This is the state of things from the very top to the very bottom of this administration. And the impact of that is bleeding out into every aspect of the society and economy." 

    From A Letter From An American because @shecky doesn’t read it but he might AI and faux.

    US added 73K jobs in July...May/June numbers were revised DOWN by 258K jobs.

    Remember when those adjustments would occur under Biden and magats would flip out?

    Are the tariffs ever going to go into effect?  If the tariffs aren't in effect, how does he continue to claim that tariff revenues are coming in greater numbers than anyone ever expected than ever before?
