MAGA is probably going to be really, really, really, really, really, really, really uncomfortable with this report on how Trump’s economy is doing

(AKA the unemployment rate, the cost of eggs, the price of gas, inflation, the Dow Jones, whether citizens received a stimulus check, and Trump’s overall approval rating.)

Earlier this month, Trump addressed the nation in a televised address in which he basically insisted that the country’s economy is booming, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar, liar, pants on fire.

It wasn’t exactly convincing, given that Americans face massive insurance increases in 2026 because Trump and his party recently chose to let Affordable Care Act subsidies expire in two weeks. Also, our pockets shrink as the cost of food and living swells.

Despite his efforts to convince citizens that the economy is the “hottest” it’s ever been, here’s a real look at how the 79-year-old’s numbers played out in November 2025 (and spoiler, it shows a very different picture):

Note: Inflation data is released a few weeks after the end of each month, so our reports will look at the previous month’s figures.

Data on the unemployment rate between September and November has been affected and vague due to this year’s government shutdown. September figures are late. October’s rate was canceled altogether, and November appears to have reached 4.6 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

For someone who boasts a booming economy, the steady increase in Americans looking for work certainly does not bode well for the president’s claims.

Ah, the price of eggs. Another cursed number.

Food indexes are also released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, so we won’t get an October number. However, I can say that eggs have officially dropped below the $3 mark and you can find a dozen Grade A for about $2.86 on average in November.

Goodbye bird flu!

Going from a positive to a negative, the cost of beef is still skyrocketing and I continue to find that giving up red meat this year was one of the best financial decisions I’ve made.

If you’re looking for a pound of beef, prices rose to an average of $6.50 in November.

(And yes, the government shutdown is still acting like the Ghost of Christmas Past, and we won’t get an October average here either.)

Gas is running low though! I’m sure you’ll flood the comments section with local prices much higher than the national average, and I wish you could see numbers just as low, but according to the Energy Information Administration, a gallon of gas cost about $3,179 last month.

Inflation fell to its lowest point in months, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2.7 percent figure raised a few eyebrows.

According to the New York Times, “For the inflation report, many economists were caught off guard by how the BLS handled the distortions, which is part of the reason they have so many doubts about the numbers released today.”

The talk above is fancy to say that the government shutdown has caused “distortions” in the inflation data and therefore may or may not paint a prettier picture than reality.

Meanwhile, the Dow Jones was neither up nor down in November, according to Stat Muse. So there’s that.

We’re approaching a full year into Trump’s second presidency and there’s still no stimulus check in sight for struggling Americans. What happened to those $2,000 tariff dividend checks Trump promised at Truth Social? I haven’t heard a word since November 9th.

Trump’s approval rating has hit an all-time low for this term. Gallup reports that only 36% of Americans approve of how Trump’s second presidency is going. It shows BLACK.

These are our statistics for November. Now, let’s look at the comments we received on our last edition in a little section I like to call the ✨Comment Corner✨.

It is not uncommon to see comments from conservatives claiming that the data presented in this report is “fake news.” I usually point out that the data is taken from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the US Energy Administration, which is part of Trump’s own administration. So if the numbers are “fake news” that would mean these MAGA commenters believe Trump’s people are spreading fake news….

Quite the conundrum there!

I appreciate the readers, regardless. <3
