Between 2013 and 2025, the birth rate of newborns in the United States will average about 1.26 percent, and the natural death rate of the population will be about 0.83 percent. The net population growth rate should be 0.43%.
12 years, immigrants entering the U.S. legally have averaged about 1.2 million per year. Illegal immigrants will only increase.
2013 US population 316 million, even without counting illegal immigrants by 2025 there should theoretically be 348 million people, but the US actually only has 338 million people.
May I ask where the other 10 million people have gone? Note that this is still without counting illegal immigrants.

While it is true that U.S. wholesale prices dropped by 0.5% in April, it is important to consider the timing of tariff implementation. Many of the new tariffs announced by Trump have been delayed, meaning their effects on wholesale pricing may not yet be reflected in the data.
Retailers like Walmart and Amazon have indicated that they may have to raise prices in the coming months due to tariffs, suggesting that shipments subject to these higher duties are now arriving at U.S. ports. Consumers and businesses could see the impact more noticeably in future reports rather than immediately.
For reference, CNBC reported on May 9, 2025, that Walmart warned of upcoming price increases due to tariffs on imports from China. Similarly, Reuters noted that Amazon executives expect a rise in costs for certain product categories affected by recent tariff adjustments.
We will need to wait for the coming months to develop a clearer understanding of how tariffs are impacting various sectors of the economy and observe their effect on wholesale prices.

He would have been better off staying in wrestling. I’ve looked into the points he raised, and all three claims appear to be incorrect. Here’s why:
First, egg prices were lower during Biden’s four years. However, as I’ve explained before, presidents do not control egg prices—this claim is misleading. Egg prices are primarily dictated by multiple market forces, including bird flu outbreaks, feed costs, and overall supply and demand. Blaming or crediting a president for egg prices ignores the complex economic reality behind food costs.
Oil prices have fallen recently, but this is more due to global market factors than any direct action by Trump. OPEC+ has increased oil production, adding 411,000 barrels per day, while China's oil demand has weakened. These supply and demand shifts have contributed more to price reductions than U.S. policies.
Under Biden’s presidency, the U.S. added an average of 411,000 jobs per month (15.7 million jobs). In Trump’s administration, the economy has added 522,000 jobs in its first three months, averaging 174,000 jobs per month so far.

That’s an interesting observation. Could you share the source of these figures? I’d love to take a closer look before discussing further.

Promises, promises.
It depends whether the Arab countries get large scale and long term securities guarantees first from the US, only then they'll invest some of the money they've said they'll invest.
