Politico Frames Great March Jobs Report as 'Useful Talking Points' for Trump
Newsbusters ^ | April 4, 2026 | P.J. Gladnick

On March 5, Politico economics correspondent Victoria Guida made it clear she's frustrated that President Trump isn't losing momentum. noted That March piece is dripping with frustration and irritation, starting with the headline: "Trump Keeps Gambling With the Economy — And Getting Away With It."

Well it now appears that same bitterness on the part of Guida has carried over into April as reflected in title of her Friday story, "Job growth shatters expectations in March, in boost to Trump." And if you missed the bitterness in the title, the subtitle makes it quite clear, "That report gives the president some useful talking points as polling shows deep dissatisfaction with the state of the economy."

Got that? In March Trump was "getting away with it" on the economy and now in April he got himself some "useful talking points."

Thank you very much and God bless you.

She must have been happy leading in the days prior to Friday because she fully expected a poor jobs report and then had a conniption fit when the report finally came out with results not at all what she had hoped.

Yet when Biden was able to cross the street without someone holding his hand these same douche bags would say “What a glorious day, what a great leader, look at him go”

“as polling shows deep dissatisfaction with the state of the economy”

Garbage push polls may show that. I’m not seeing it.

“FWIW - stock market looks ready to take off on Monday”

I don’t doubt it, but what are you basing that on? The markets, and the futures were closed on Friday.

If I’m not mistaken, the futures don’t reopen until 6pm Sunday...

The economy isn’t going to tank anytime soon, which is one thing democrat partisans thought they could count on as they blabber back & forth in their blue echo chamber.

It already is tanking

Another example friend owns some decent low cost independent restaurants and said yesterday their business is already down 20% since the oil prices shot up-people have less to spend, the owner will probably let at least a couple employees go-and that in turn has its own effects

Probably a recovery from weather-related losses, which the Democrats attempted to turn into their own talking point.

I track Bitcoin - it’s a pretty good indicator where the markets are heading 24/7. Also, last week was a Holiday week - when people come back from Holidays (ie; Chinese New Year) they tend to be in a buying mood IF the markets look positive. I think the worst war outcome is baked in, and the market (in general) has been down, but if you bought last Tuesday (?), you probably got in at 52 week lows with META, AMZN, and AMD (my 3 buys last week).

Well, looking again, maybe not 52 week lows, but priced at Oct 2024. With the exception of AMD, though still down from its high.
