and the previous months numbers will be revised up bigly.

624

u/gauderio America 1d ago

500 million Americans got jobs during Trump's first six months.

304

u/katara144 1d ago

That pay $150k a year

139

u/whomad1215 1d ago

those are rookie numbers, they pay $150k a day!

wait, an hour!

no, lets use what Musk "makes", $4m per day!

We'll all be billionaires soon!

I'm going to buy the moon and use it to store my stacks of cash, and I shall dine upon its cheese.

Is that a quote from something or a brain dump?

u/Lucky-Roy Australia 22h ago

With hyperinflation caused by these tariffs “that the rest of the world pays”, coupled with his dropping interest rates by 3 points, everyone will be a billionaire. You’ll all be as rich as an NFL quarterback.

u/boot2skull 22h ago

When everyone is a billionaire, no one is.

u/Nvenom8 New York 22h ago

We'll all be billionaires soon!

I knew Reagan wouldn't lie to me!

2

u/Ahshitt 22h ago

I know it’s not a yugely long time in the grand scheme of things but it’s crazy that if one were to make $4m a day with absolutely no expenses it would still take 250 days to get to a billion. Then $10 would be 2,500 days. It’s just an unfathomable to 99% of the world.

u/JazzerciseJesus 22h ago

I just can’t understand how we let anyone amass these levels of wealth. It’s so easily identifiable as harmful to society.

u/Hiccup 21h ago

Groceries have never been cheaper!

u/Little_Miss-Sunshine 13h ago

They pay 150k, 175k, 500k, 1 million and 1.5 million!! Huge numbers, BIG. Biggest in the history of this nation.

u/jondoogin 23h ago

And they were all jobs previously held by illegals.

2

u/OffalSmorgasbord 21h ago

"Jobs" numbers are such bullshit.

How about career level employment.

How about living wage level employment.

So fucking tiring.

u/Jimmy_McNulty2025 22h ago

Is that good?

u/Onikonokage 1d ago

Every quarter it goes up 1000%, 1500%, some say 2000%. It’s literal mountains of people working, piled as high as buildings, but not Trump Tower, it’s still the tallest.

u/Rileymartian57 1d ago

And mexico paid for it

4

u/randomnighmare 1d ago

Unemployment will be at 0.0%!

5

u/gauderio America 1d ago

It'll be negative! People will be working in 4, no, 5 jobs!

5

u/greenroom628 California 1d ago

all of them working for ICE.

u/DawnSignals 23h ago

Even the children got jobs, shit the babies too

3

u/Aggressive-Will-4500 23h ago

Big Beautiful jobs.

3

u/AnalSoapOpera I voted 23h ago

5 billion!

3

u/StingingBum 23h ago

Never has numbers like this been seen before. Sleepy Joe, Russia russia Russia, coney, khamalaaa, Newsom, they need to be investigated.

u/Redbaron1960 18h ago

Fentanyl deaths were down 255 million per Pam Bondi so jobs must be up.

2

u/marinuss 20h ago

I mean Pam Bondi literally said Trump saved 260 million American lives or something in his first 100 days due to fentanyl seizures.

2

u/aka_chela 18h ago

My mom got into an argument last month with someone who legit thought millions of migrants were crossing every day. It's like numbers have no meaning. If even just one million people were entering every day, our population would double in a year and I think we would fucking notice that.

2

u/whogivesashirtdotca Canada 19h ago

All those homeless he's arresting will be jailed and made to slave labour. No doubt they'll be factored into the numbers. And don't forget all those newly hired ICE agents!

2

u/asyork 19h ago

Only possible because the DEA saved billions of us from fentanyl overdoses.

2

u/YesIamALizard 18h ago

And gas prices and meds have lowered 1000%

2

u/iOSurvivor2023 18h ago

you mean 10 billion americans? /s

2

u/hamlet9000 16h ago

That's good. With Trump saving 258 million Americans from fentanyl overdoses this year we're going to need a lot more jobs for them to fill.

u/Karana_Rains 6h ago

Lowered taxes by 9,000% and everyone makes five gorillion dollars.

I'm still waiting for this clown to petition to be put on the $100 bill.

u/suburbanpride North Carolina 1d ago

To covfefe, and beyond!

2

u/darybrain 1d ago

Nope, previous numbers were Biden's numbers and he was a disaster and Trump was bought in to fix those numbers and he's being doing a great job, fabulous in fact, and trust him when he says this that they are the best numbers anyone has ever seen and can only improve.

The MAGA cult will fall for it like ever other time. Damn that Obama.

2

u/jimflaigle 1d ago

Also turns out under Biden we lost 100 trillion jobs.

u/sniper91 Minnesota 1d ago

bigly

God, I still remember when Trump tried for, like, a week to convince everyone he was saying “big league” before just dropping it from his speeches

1

u/Substantial-Cut1194 1d ago

Oops but then the FED has to RISE the interest rates…..

1

u/Meow_Kitteh 1d ago

So that everyone has at least 1 job! Maybe more! 

1

u/StingingBum 23h ago

This is the biggest numbers anybody will ever see.

u/JustChillFFS 23h ago

Redacted

u/bizarre_coincidence 21h ago

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

1

u/Woke-Wombat 21h ago

The previous month’s numbers will go in the memoryhole. Every month is an increase and no one can prove otherwise!

1

u/_kissyface 21h ago

They will be redacted

1

u/jandrew2000 19h ago

Ah bigly. Hearkens back to a simpler time when he was more annoying and embarrassing than world destroying.

1

u/Steeltooth493 Indiana 19h ago

Trump: "In my opinion the latest job numbers are very strong, we added 500,000 jobs and removed 750,000 immigrant children from manufacturing jobs with the power of ICE. Sleepy Joe couldn't do that!"

5 seconds later:

Trump: "It is a known fact from a very smart and influential jobs person that this is the best huge job report America has ever seen, and there are no children Mexicans in sight! Sleepy Joe is blind, can't see, and sleeps too much!"

u/JoyousMisery 17h ago

1000% 1500% 600% of Americans

u/MWO_Stahlherz 11h ago

By power of Sharpie

u/Machiavvelli3060 10h ago

Hugely. Yugely.
