8,000 Jobs Lost—And Trump Calls It "Holding Steady"? Give Me a Break.
In May 2025, the U.S. lost 8,000 manufacturing jobs, the worst drop in five years. Even Fox Business called it out. Trump’s Labor Secretary? Claimed we’re “holding steady.”
Let’s be clear: losing jobs isn’t steady, it’s imploding.
Under Biden, America gained 775,000+ manufacturing jobs. Under Trump 2.0? We’re going in reverse, and pretending it’s fine.
This isn’t leadership. It’s spin.
Manufacturing is down. Workers deserve the truth—not gaslighting.
Accountability starts now.
