Amazon and UPS layoff 130,000 People , is Trump's economy good?

[888theGreat]

Looks like more people will be layed off this year than last year. Yet Trumptards tell us that Trump's economy is booming. Amazon 100,000 layoffs (they say because of high prices and Trump's Tariffs) and UPS lays off 30,000 do to less packages. AI is replacing more and more jobs and Trump enforced AI , even pass laws to prevent States from stopping AI. Estimates are that 50% to 60% of all jobs will be eliminated. Meaning 50% Unemployment.

Rate the Trump economy on scale 1 to 10 .

Trump's economy is 9 or 10

Trump's economy is 8/10

Trump's economy is 7/10

Trump's economy is 6/10

Trump's economy is 5/10

Trump's economy is 4/10

Trump's economy is less 3 or less/10

Trump also said "Americans were too fat, lazy, and not smart enough to do Technology jobs or Manufacturing".

ADP private payroll numbers were released this morning and it was a big miss. Government data is getting more out of sync with private data every month. I make most of my money on Wall Street and more and more of us have stopped believing government numbers when released because they are always revised way down the following month. I've never seen government numbers as unreliable as this. Only 585k jobs were created in 2025 while over 2 million were created in 2024 and 2023. The next job report comes out on Friday and it is expected that after revisions, there will be less that 500k jobs created in 2025.

So much "Winning". Wait... we're just beginning to feel the effects of Trump's moron economics. By 2028, the US economy will be in a depression with runaway inflation and every asset class in free fall while the world walks away from owning US debt and the dollar is left in the dust as the world standard that denominates every contract on the planet. And then there's every trading partner walking away from a US they can no longer trust or depend on. And then there's the new wars and spending on Venezuela and Iran. This isn't a generational disaster. This is the end of the last superpower and colonialism.

It’s probably more like 50-50 the economy, a lot of those layoffs are because of the guys in Wall Street predicting a better economy, and Amazon overdoing it as usual, but the layoff at UPS are because they are paying them more than the company can afford because of the union when they last had a contract dispute, so this is just something the Company decided to do since they can’t break the contract. They are just laying off a lot of the people that work there unfortunately because of the higher prices also

[888theGreat]

They have always been a union

[Likes2drive]

Yeah, I know that and that’s why eventually they may go out of business because I’ve seen so many union companies go under Especially trucking companies

[XXblack88]

It wouldn't matter if Trump is in office or not AI would be pushing through and big CEO's would approve since they can make more money with AI over hiring real human beings. AI still makes mistakes give it 5 to 10 years and it will be working like a pro.

[Hagar88]

They are blaming Trump but its AI.

AI, automation, drones and robotics is going to replace all jobs in the near future, maybe 20 years. What is that going to mean for any of us or the economy remains to be seen.

[888theGreat]

Trump endorced AI , said it was great. Then passed laws so States had to use AI

[NaultD]

First press conference for Don's second term was a blank check to AI company.

[Hagar88]

@NaultD AI is coming. Every country is using it, the US can't afford to fall behind. The genie is out of the bottle and can't be put back in. You look at the history of new technologies coming along, its not all plain sailing. Look at when the car came along, ford model T in 1909. In less than 10 years all the horses were gone, you couldn't give away a horse in a town or city.
Thats why its becoming more and more important to bring American jobs home, to stave what's coming off as long as possible. Thats why companies like Ford and John Deere can't be allowed to move their factories to Mexico or china, Americans need those jobs.

[888theGreat]

AI means fewer jobs for Americans. Robots will do factory jobs. Sorry your fantasy world ain't happening

[Hagar88]

Exactly. This is why when trump was talking about bringing jobs back from Mexico, china and wherever else he was making sense. Now more than ever America can't afford to let jobs go abroad. Thats not a fantasy thats reality.

[888theGreat]

endorsed

[888theGreat]

there will be no jobs coming back , just robots and AI. This is where MAGAns are stupid. They believe in fantasy

[Hagar88]

There will be jobs coming back and jobs prevented from going but there's no stopping what's coming.

[exitseven]

@888thegreat AI is the future. What was he supposed to do, outlaw it in America? Employent going forward will be an issue for both private industry and the government. New laws protecting workers need to be passed and schools need ot prepare to teach people to use the new technology.

[exitseven]

these big companies are investing in AI to replace thousands of workers to save money. It is progress , not a reflection of the new Trump economy.
Our GDP was 4.3% the last quarter. This can be attributed to more exports. Inflation is steadily going down.2026 will be even better.

[Sevenpointfive]

amazon might be hiring just as many back. but they aren't americans. bezos wants a full indian workforce for some reason. i think it's because they are cheaper?

[Chazmatazz269]

When these giant multinational corporations were ruining people’s livelihoods under Biden, you said it wasn’t Biden’s fault. Remember?
Now when it happens it’s Drumpf’s fault?
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[888theGreat]

I never said that

[Chazmatazz269]

100% lies

[Kelley1]

Trump is a politician. All presidents and governors claim their policies improved the economy.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Aren't both those companies always laying people off? Amazon is pretty famous for not promoting people

[Miristheiss]

Is the border secure and are millions of illegals being deported?

That is what we voted for.

[Mike_Hum]

Weren’t you clowns saying that crops were rotting in the fields with the illegals gone? That seems like we need people to work.

[888theGreat]

White people won't do those jobs

[Mike_Hum]

Why are you so racist to assume only white people could have jobs that are being replaced by ai?

[888theGreat]

White Collar jobs

[msc545]

White people will not do this work.

[Mike_Hum]

@msc545 eventually your mom will stop bringing you pizza rolls to the basement

[Dargil]

Yes. Because the people that replaced those that became unemployed, probably built the robots that Amazon now uses. So they're doing real well.

[Massageman]

Hands on jobs are being reduced by AI crap.

[Anonymous]

Ai will result in a genocide on a scale that make all the dictators of the last century look like amateurs

[msc545]

Trump's economy is a fucking nightmare.
