Economists expected +55,000 jobs. Trump delivered -92,000. Thatβs not underperforming, thatβs a 147,000-job face plant. He promised to be the greatest jobs president ever. Instead heβs torching the economy οΌ calling it winning. Weβre not winning. #TrumpsJobsSlumpββββββββββββββββ

SοΌP 500 down.
Dow tanking.
NASDAQ bleeding.
Gas up 60Β’ in ONE week.
92,000 jobs gone.
This isnβt bad luck β this is the direct result of reckless, chaotic leadership. Your wallet is paying the price.

And these books are cooked, so imagine if they gave us the real job numbers!
Weβre not great yetβ¦

kevinrkirk 2d @ Threads Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like l'm 5. (Drawing of chopping of part of land) suahuatica 2d MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.
Happy Friday. Donβt skip school.
Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his fatherβs money in the 80s.
ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).
People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donβt create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people β and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

Trump should be focused on creating jobs and lowering costs, not waging a thoughtlessΒ war in Iran.
Job numbers are down. Gas prices are up.Β Health care premiums are skyrocketing.
This is failed leadership.
I propose a new law:
Anyone who expresses support for an offensive war shall immediately be drafted to fight in it. No exceptions and no exemptions for any reason, including disability or service as a government official in any office. Presidents and congressmen shall fight in any war they start.
The US lost 92,000 jobs in February, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Trump did that.
I donβt remember Trump campaigning on Americans needing to make financial sacrifices for foreign wars. bsky.app/profile/atru...
The lives heβs taking just to cover up his Epstein involvement. He has no morality
I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that itβs not become a question of βshould our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?β but βto what extent?β

I use it because calling USians βAmericansβ is disrespectful to the many other countries in North, Central, and South Americaβwho are also Americans. We need a better term than the one that assumes the US is somehow the only real presence in this string of continents.
Each one meaning human beings are dying in agony.
What the hell? Israel seems intent on literally flattening every country anywhere near it.
And since Trump fired the people who were honestly reporting all the job losses under his regime,
This number is surely much higher.
Not quite a golden calf. More like an orange pig.
SOON: Presidents Biden, Obama, Clinton speak at Rev. Jesse Jackson Memorial.

Russia is reportedly supplying Iran with military intelligence to target U.S. forces. Trump wonβt say a word about it.
What, and I can't stress this enough, the fuck?!?!

Imagine how much worse it actually is if this is the number they are willing to admit.
