    Buzzfeed -Grafic entitled "Economy Hate Watch" with bold, cut -out style text on a red background

    Buzzfeed

    Hello there, my name is Alexa, and for every month of Donald Trump's presidency I follow the real figures that his administration has reached on BuzzFeed.

    (AKA the unemployment rate, the costs of eggs, gas prices, inflation, the Dow Jones, or citizens received a stimulus control and the general approval classification of Trump.)

    While we speak, our supreme commander fights hard against all “dictator wannabe” accusations.

    As Buzzfeed previously reported: “By announcing the announcement, he would assess Smithsonian exhibitions so that they join his interpretation of history, to use the national guard in American cities, fires or try to dismiss officials who have argued against him, and even have argued the idea of ​​a non -ground term. [Trump] has shifted the limits of presidential power. “

    But the 79-year-old is honestly not fighting the claims * also * hard. Exhibit A: earlier this week, when he spoke with reporters about the possible sending of the National Guard to Chicago, Trump said about people who criticize his actions:

    “They say,” We don't need him! Freedom, freedom! He is a dictator! He is a dictator! “ Many people say we might want a dictator. “ Then he clarified: “I don't like a dictator. I am not a dictator. I am a man with a lot of common sense and I am a smart person.”

    So here is how the economy under a “smart man” who was certain not Crossing D-Word lines in July 2025 took place:

    Note: Data on inflation will be released a few weeks after finished each month, so our reports will look at the figures from the previous month.

    Kraft block with unemployment percentages: December 2024 to June 2025 varied between 4.1% and 4.2%

    Buzzfeed

    Who would have known the Bureau or Labor Statistics (BLS) that this month would be a sexy talk point?

    If you do not remember, the BLS has revised the previous two months of reports, so that around 258,000 jobs were cut from the former growth of May and June. And what does that mean? Well, that job growth in the US is quite stagnant for three months, which is not a great look for an economy in what Trump calls the “hottest” country in the world.

    And are apparent solution? The Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner will dismiss a few hours later.

    Does that not give you so much faith in statistics that have been released under the Trump government? *She said while hyperventilating.*

    List of egg prices from December 2024 to June 2025, with fluctuations from $ 4.15 to $ 6.23

    Buzzfeed

    Before the bird flu destroyed the prices of the egg, a dozen class A costs around $ 2.00. Nowadays that number is around $ 3.60. We are not completely back to the glory of baking days, but we are certainly closer than in March when the prices reached an average of $ 6.23.

    Orange is the new black. Beef is the new eggs.

    If you consider cutting red meat out of your life, this might be the best time. It will certainly save you from a hole the size of a hamburger that burns through your pocket.

    A Ground Chuck of 100% beef reached a highlight of seven months in July. Now it costs you around $ 6.34 for a single pound.

    Gass prices monthly vers from Decection 2024 to July 2025, ranging from around $ 3.12 to $ 3.28

    Buzzfeed

    Every time I drop a new monthly report, commentators swear that they have never seen such low gas numbers throughout 2025. But on average the American Energy Information Administration says that a Gallon gas is around $ 3.25 in the US. It has been almost the same all year round.

    Note with projected inflation: December 2024 at 2.9%, January 2025 on 3%and July 2025 at 2.7%

    Not to scare Maga -heads, but the inflation percentage of Trump crawls to the percentage of Biden ended his presidency … I just thought you should know.

    Note shows Dow Jones Monthly percentage of changes from December 2024 to July 2025, fluctuating with the highest increase at +4.5% in June 2025

    Buzzfeed

    After two months of remarkable profits (which fairly followed two months of disastrous losses), July threw a measly increase of 0.2 percent in the Dow Jones. I think we will take what we can get.

    Buzzfeed

    We have a record !!!!! 🎉🎉🎉etty's Donald Trump reached a low point in his second term as president. His approval classification has absolutely sunken to 37% in July. What do we think it was? The Epstein hoop? Those South Park Episodes? All those regrettable Trump voters who speak out? Or all the above?

    Those are our statistics for July. Now let's look at comments that we have received on our last edition in a small part that I like to call ✨koment Corner✨.
