The summer economic data releases have been a disaster under Trump. Downward revisions on prior jobs reports on top of soft hiring for July. Inflation is rearing its ugly head in various parts of the economy. A growing housing affordability crisis. Loss of confidence in long-term treasuries. The only reason the stock market continues to perform is because foreign investors and U.S. corporations are propping up share prices because there are fewer and fewer places to find a return on investment. All the while, the GOP continues forward with plans to hurt the impoverished and middle class citizens of the United States.

The Israeli government says it's going to seize control of Gaza City, install a different administration, and try to eliminate Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier said Israel planned to take over the entire Strip. The Israeli military already controls around 80% of Gaza. The more than two million people living there have been bombed, starved, repeatedly displaced, and forced into temporary shelters. So, why did Israel make this announcement now? Is the prime minister trying to appease the right-wing members of his cabinet? Or is he trying to detract international condemnation of the man-made hunger crisis?

Donald Trump aims to rebalance the global trading system. The president has announced a new round of tariffs on many nations. Trump’s trade experiment seems to be paying off better than most had expected, at least for now. He got his biggest trading partners to make deals that are closer to his demands than theirs. Financial markets have shrugged off higher duties, and tariff revenues are pouring in. But economists say Americans will pay more for many goods they consume when the tariffs take effect. What's the impact of tariffs on Asia's manufacturing hubs?
