Trump naysayers who predicted economic doom again proven wrong after latest jobs report

Predictions of President Donald Trump bringing economic doom to the U.S. fell flat once again with the release of the latest jobs report Thursday.

The Labor Department reported that employers added 147,000 jobs in June, a figure above the estimate of economists polled by LSEG, who projected 110,000 jobs would be added. The strong and growing economy comes after months of Democrats painting a gloomy picture of America's economic future under Trump.

"The Trump recession is on its way," Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., declared in March.

"Donald Trump is ruining the economy on purpose," complained Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, in April.

"We'll be paying more for everything – groceries, food, cars, homes, toys, electronics, everything that you buy," he predicted at the time.

Merkley and Schatz did not respond when asked by Fox News Digital whether they stand by their comments.
