August 1st, 2025 felt like Trump’s most furious day since his return.
Two Dramatic Events:
1. U.S. Jobs Disaster:
- July nonfarm payrolls rose just 73K vs. 100K expected.
- Explosive revision: June jobs slashed from 147K → 14K; May from 125K → 19K.
- 3-month average: 35K—worst since pandemic.
- Markets crashed (Nasdaq -2.24%).
- Trump raged, firing Labor Stats Chief Erica McEntarfe for “political manipulation” (no evidence).
- Critics blasted him: “Shoot the messenger” (Schumer).
2. Russia Roast:
- Ex-Russian President Medvedev mocked Trump relentlessly on social media.
- Trump threatened: “Tell that failed ex-president to watch his words!”
- Medvedev fired back: “If Russia’s words shake you, we’re on the right path.”
- Trump retaliated: Ordered two nuclear subs deployed to “counter provocative rhetoric.”
(Note: U.S. rarely reveals sub movements—highly unusual.)
The Big Picture:
- U.S. economy isn’t “winning” as Trump claims.
- Trump’s rage grows: Attacks Brazil, India, Russia, and now data chiefs.
- Pattern: Can’t fix problems? Fire those who expose them.
Comments:
- “Tomorrow he’ll be angrier—gotta ‘win’ harder!” 😂
- “At 80, his unburst blood vessels are impressive.”
- “Fudging data yearly was wild enough—now this?”
- “Jobs: -1” 😏
- “Even if not political, a 10x data error deserves firing!”
- “Trapped: Bad economy = his failure; good economy = no rate cuts.”
- “Sending ‘invisible subs’? Anyone can claim that.”
- “Like the King of Khwarezm—killing bad-news messengers. Then his kingdom fell.” (Wang Xiaobo reference)
Note: “Meddy Bear” = Medvedev’s Russian media nickname.
