Did Trump fix the Reflecting Pool? And is it blue now?
Dave Jorgenson
Did President Trump really fix the Reflecting Pool? And other fact checks.
As we reported previously, the repairs are short-term. The pool itself appears to be the same color once filled.
In other news, the U.S. economy added a robust 172,000 jobs in May, a sign that the labor market remained resilient despite a growing energy and inflation crisis triggered by the ongoing war with Iran.
While hiring is solid, there’s growing concern about wages lagging the rate of price growth. Average hourly earnings rose 3.4% from a year ago. According to Jennifer Timmerman, an analyst at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute, that’s the lowest since 2021. In April, inflation sharply jumped to a 3.8%, its highest level in three years, due to the surging price of gasoline and the resulting economic ripple effect.
