Kind of like Krasnov nominating the man who was the biggest critic of Jerome Powell to replace him.

The market loves it when companies cut people, their stock always jumps up. It's what most companies do to make the bottom line, fire people.

Even under the original projections, Trump presided over the weakest year of job gains outside of a recession since 2003, falling far short of the 168,000 jobs per month on average that were added to the U.S. economy under former President Joe Biden.
