Trump Rocked by Shock Disastrous Economy Downturn [View all]

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate ticked up as President Donald Trump was hit with a fresh round of abysmal economic numbers.

The unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4.4 percent in February from 4.3 percent the month before.

It comes as the number of jobs added at the end of last year was revised down by 65,000 in December, meaning the U.S. actually lost 17,000 jobs that month.

The stock market immediately took a plunge on Friday morning as investors reacted to the surprisingly bad jobs report and oil prices spiking as Trump wages war with Iran.
