Breaking: Terrible GDP report just dropped… halfway to recession

[WEATHER53]

Dow rallies 900 off its early morning low. Democrats are so full of shit and prattle on endlessly with doom and gloom while having no experience with or participation in what they are spewing about

Racial prejudice got shitler! reelected.

His trashing of the world economy was just a bonus for you fuckups.

He's not trashing anything, but if you're so tippy about economies being trashed, why aren't you saying anything about the way the "world" has been trashing the USA, for the last 35 years ?

 

[ThisIsMe]

We will have to see what Trump brings in the next quarter.
Biden claimed no Recession because of low unemployment

Lets see how Trump does and then let the experts tell us if it is a recession

Is low unemployment the qualifier for a recession...or negative gdp?

 

[protectionist]

Trump was lying in the video or you have a bad habit of ignoring the truth.

Brand licensing, not outsourcing, Stop watching CNN.

Minus GDP not enough for you?

Screwing our Allies fir Russia not enough for you?

LOLLLOLLL.

Hard to take him serious, but 25% adore this idiot.

It is an indicator of the economy

We will find next quarter what leading economists say about the economy.
So far, the Trump economy is not looking good

 

[Crepitus]

Google it.

I did. "who told that moron on USMB that lie?"

No results.

Care to enlighten us?

 

[Crepitus]

When did Trump claim pain before the election?

He didn't, the faithful are trying to cover for him as usual.

 

[Crepitus]

The economy is doing well

Manifestly untrue.

Nothing hard about it at all, unless you're brainwashed by leftist media.

Even if you go with the tard definition of a recession being two quarters of negative growth, Biden did not have a recession. There was only ONE quarter of negative growth and that was over a year into his presidency.

Trump has already beaten Biden in that respect. He wasted no time in killing our economy's growth.

The cult was so anxious we have a recession under Biden, they declared one when there wasn't one.

Biden had TWO recessions
# 1
Q4 2022 - 3.4
Q1 2023 - 2.8
Q - 2023 - 2.4

#2
Q3 2023 - 4.4
Q4 2023 - 3.2
Q1 2024 - 1.6

This is if you accept that Biden didn't manipulate his BEA (Dept of Commerce) to cook the books, when a third recession mysteriously disappeared, from changed numbers.

It could also be seem as 3 recessions (or 4) from 2 consecutive declining GDPs from Q3 2024, Q4 2024, and Q1 of 2025, with 3 weeks of 2025 having Biden still president + the 2 more months being lag effect of Biden's policies still carrying over.

Perhaps in the short run, but that is just a precursor to the long run.

Business is scared

Hard to expand during chaos

I owned a business for 10 years. Everything about it is "IFFY". Things keep changing all the time which affect sales. Change possibilities are everpresent, Business owmership is not for the faint of heart.

My advice to people in business who are scared: get a job.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Cheering What?

We all want the economy and the market to do well.
We just like ridiculing trump and trump supporters for all the stupid shit he does and says.

Trump, today, is claiming this is Bidens Stock Market.
One good day and trump will flip.

Scared of what?
A trump inducing failed economy and coming recession.....Damn Right.

Market is up??????
Sports analogy: So your team was down by 40 points, now you're only down 34 points........... Yea, you're still losing and getting your ass kicked.

DOW was at 44,025 on Jan 20th.

You’re scared of what you’re told to be scared of. I’ve been enjoying it for forty years.

The goalposts never were anywhere but where they are right now. Trump clearly told America what he was going to go. America voted for him on that basis, and now he's doing it.

Not many people care about the left's hysterias.

 

[jknowgood]

Argument from ignorance.

The burden of proof is on the one who made the claim.

That would be you.

It was reported on, I guess on CNN they flahed it between commercials.

Good point
Are you going to expand your business or manufacturing based on tariffs that change day to day based on the presidents whims?
