One of American President Donald Trump’s favourite boasts is that he’s given America ‘the Greatest Economy Ever Seen’. Well, the official figures are out for last year. And they’ll make you wonder just how The President defines ‘great’…
So… Inflation remained steady within a couple of tenths of a percent over the past year….
… And the price of Beef rose almost a full dollar a pound…
… But the price of Eggs dropped by a significant $1.35 per dozen – once the avian flu crisis resolved itself…
Numbers ‘trump’ Trump
The actual numbers – from the US Bureau Of Labor Statistics – covering the entire period of December 2024, to December 2025 have just come out. And they put the lie to Trump’s big boast.
My take
No wonder numbers put the President’s overall approval rating at…
… Down a full 11 percent for the year just past.
… And many thanks to BuzzFeed – and especially Deputy Editorial Director Alexa Lisitza – for crunching the numbers and producing the charts!
