I’m keeping track of Trump’s economy right here. Every month. Enjoy!

As BuzzFeed's politics lead, my job is to do the doomscrolling for you.

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

Note: Data on inflation is released a few weeks after each month has ended, so our reports will look at the previous month's numbers. 

For many, finding a job that pays a livable wage is still hard to come by, which unfortunately means that people seem to be staying unemployed longer. 

I've never seen so many chicken and turkey recipes on my FYP in my life. TikTok chefs' recent recipes have turned into the ultimate economic indicator. 

On average (AVERAGE, PEOPLE), the US Energy Information Administration reports that Americans are paying $4.609 per gallon at the pump.

Are we Great Again, yet? Are we? Because my wallet is crying, and there's only so much more that I can cut back on. 

If it's any consolation, the number for June 2026 has already been released and YIKES, YIKES, YIKES, it's embarrassing. (Keep an eye out for our next edition.)

RIP to your wallet. You had no idea what was coming.
