Trump vs. Pennsylvania Truckers — and the Brutal Jobs Report

At 6:27 · chapter starts 5:35

When reporters asked Trump before a Pennsylvania trucking event what he would say to workers at risk of losing jobs to AI, he brushed them off: 'Well, now they're not.' His claim of record-high employment collides head-on with reality. The very next day, the jobs report showed only 57,000 positions added — less than half the 115,000 economists forecast. April's total was revised down by 31,000 and May's by 43,000. Meiselas notes that the only sector actually adding jobs is healthcare, the one area Trump is actively cutting. Outside that, manufacturing is struggling, hospitality is shedding jobs by the tens of thousands, and Trump's net job creation is effectively negative.
