ELITES CATCHING FEVER FROM UNEXPECTED JOB GROWTH

April 4, 2026

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.”

U.S. job growth surged past expectations in March and the unemployment rate dropped, giving President Donald Trump breathing room as the economy comes under increasing pressure over the war in Iran and rising oil prices.

 

In a stunning display of journalistic consistency, Politico’s Victoria Guida has heroically evolved from gritting her teeth over Trump “getting away with” economic gambling in March, to grudgingly handing him a glossy set of “useful talking points” in April—even though the job market just did the economic equivalent of a triple backflip. Apparently, resilient job growth and a falling unemployment rate can’t fully derail the beloved narrative of doom and gloom, proving once again that nothing quite kills a story like success. Meanwhile, the manufacturing sector, that long-suffering punching bag, finally remembered it had jobs to share, adding a modest 15,000 new gigs—because why let a good headline get in the way of a good gripe? So, hats off to the bravely bipartisan theater of economic reporting, where spinning numbers and headlines is a high-stakes game of “How Much Can We Complain While Still Saying Things Are Actually Getting Better?”
