Stocks were under pressure on Friday to kick off August trading as investors weighed stark signs of a weakening economy and President Donald Trump's modified tariff rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 717 points, or 1.2%. The S&P 500 shed 1.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 2.3%.
Today's jobs report shows what many Americans already knew: despite record highs in the stock market, the "economy" is not working for ordinary people. Rather than accept reality & try to address it, Trump chooses to fire the bearers of bad news. This is what authoritarians do.
