The historic record of the last 40 years is clear; the economy does better under Democratic Party leadership.

More jobs, better growth, lower deficits, even a surplus in the 90s. You'd never know it from mainstream press reporting over those same decades.

It’s the same press who tells you Democrats are too old (but Republicans aren’t) and that both parties are the same, by the way. They aren’t.

New in PN: The looming Trump-cession

"No administration in history has done so much so quickly to immiserate the American people. And no administration since Herbert Hoover’s seems less willing to change course as it barrels over a cliff." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-jobs-report-july-recession

Under Biden, the legacy media was so desperate for "economy bad" stories they found a lady who ordered 17 gallons of milk a week through Instacart and interviewed her live in grocery store aisles.

Trump fired the commissioner of labor statistics because he made the economy suck and I don’t see too much coverage of the real, very serious issues he caused.

Trump to the next head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

"All I want to do is this: I just want to find 565,000 jobs."

This news may get lost among tariffs, inflation, and Trump firing the BLS commissioner because she told the truth.

BREAKING:

Jobs report shows a MAJOR SLOWDOWN in labor market since Trump announced tariffs in April.

We can now compare the first 6 months of Trump with the final 6 months of Biden, and it's no comparison.

Over a million jobs created under Biden, less than half that under Trump.
