Nothing frosts me more than the ignorance or willful deflection of the media and economists over the leading economic indicators of an industrial and manufacturing boom that is clearly the direct result of the Trump, Bessent, Lutnick and Warsh team agenda. Thank you for this.

The media, including the financial media is leftist and badly afflicted with TDS. Legacy financial platforms like WSJ are the worst. Unfortunately, they do still have influence and seem to convinced people that times are bad contrary to the data. 60% of the country gets their news from the big 4 aggregators which provide 98% leftist content.

Look at the other recent reports on changes in manufacturing employment (e.g. Cleveland Fed, St. Louis Fed). Much less optimistic about employment growth.

I chuckle every time I see the "new" right ape Joepa's effort to sell Bidenomics. Ole Joe likewise liked to lecture voters the economy was going swimmingly, and of course there are always stats to pluck to make a case. Don and Oren likewise plead with the workin stiffs to ignore their everyday, real-world experience, ignore the gravy train the Epstein Class is riding, and embrace DonOrenomics. Ironically, Don's numbers on the economy have sunk even lower than Joepa's, especially in the ag and manufacturing states most directly impacted by the taco tariffs and MAGA's Canadian and Middle East wars. I'd be nervous too if I was Oren:).
