US EditionIt's Trump's economy now. The latest financial numbers offer some warning signs
UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – Job gains fell 258,000 below prior estimates over three months as tariffs slowed manufacturing, while inflation rose 2.6% annually, according to economic reports.
- By August 2025, President Donald Trump had introduced significant tariffs along with a new tax and spending legislation that transformed key sectors of the U.S. economy.
- This restructuring follows warnings by outgoing President Biden and others who consider imposing broad tariffs a major mistake with costly impacts on American workers and businesses.
- Recent economic reports show slowed GDP growth at under 1.3% in the first half of 2025, net job gains plummeting, and 37,000 manufacturing jobs lost since the tariff launch in April.
- On Truth Social, Trump emphasized that key data should be presented honestly and not altered for political gain, while a July poll showed his economic approval rating at 38%.
- These indicators suggest challenges ahead despite White House optimism, signaling that the full inflationary tariff effects will emerge over time with uncertain economic outcomes.
