What the fuck happened?

Here's a poster posts a post completely ignoring the post he quoted.
Again, 3 months )the short run) is just a precursor to the long run. The low gdp oh Q1 2025 is just carryover lag from the Biden administration.

GDP may go well higher than 6% as we go into 2026, 2027. Near the end of 2020. Trump had a GDP of 34%.

Perfect example of the poster ignoring th post he's quoting.

Again: the short run (first 3 moths), is just a precursor to the long run (2025-2028).

As we go through the upcoming years, GDP growth could well surpass 6%. In his first term, Trump has a quarter that was 34%.

If you dont tie Trump's hands and obstruct him, he will deliver.

Here are the official U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reports for each of the four quarters of 2020, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA):

---

1st Quarter 2020 (Jan–Mar)​

• GDP Growth (Annualized Rate): -5.0%
• Context: This marked the beginning of the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with activity starting to decline sharply in March.

---

2nd Quarter 2020 (Apr–Jun)​

• GDP Growth (Annualized Rate): -31.4%
• Context: This was the largest quarterly contraction in U.S. history since recordkeeping began in 1947, reflecting full economic shutdowns across many sectors due to COVID-19.

---

3rd Quarter 2020 (Jul–Sep)​

• GDP Growth (Annualized Rate): +33.4%
• Context: This was the largest recorded quarterly GDP rebound, driven by the partial reopening of the economy, strong consumer spending, and government stimulus programs.

---

4th Quarter 2020 (Oct–Dec)​

• GDP Growth (Annualized Rate): +4.1%
• Context: Growth continued, though at a slower pace as stimulus effects waned and COVID-19 cases surged in the winter months.

---

Overall for 2020​

• Annual GDP Change: -3.4%
• Significance: This was the worst annual GDP contraction since 1946, largely due to the economic fallout from the pandemic.

Tell the whole picture pal, and don't cherry pick one quarter.

Overall for 2020​

• Annual GDP Change: -3.4%

The recession has started. The economy slowed in the First Qtr. Do you think Fox will cover this?

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/30/gdp-q1-2025-.html

Fox did cover this, I heard about it from Fox. But they also talked to people who didn't act like Chicken little, reminded us that this is Biden's economy as he has been in charge 4 years, and Trump for 2 months of this quarter, and that if things smooth out they will rebound nicely with America in a much better place on the world stage.

Why not look at GDP for 2019, or 2018, or even 2017? Why ONLY choose the Covid year under Trump? Because it was the only bad one?

 

[protectionist]

So…

So my business in the 1980s, has nothing to do with now and Trump's tariff's. And No, I'm not going to expand a business that hasn't existed since 1993. Duh!

Not getting enough sleep lately ?

This is the kind of stuff that the smart American people look at, and then decide to vote for Donald Trump.

Fool Democrats think they can ploy their way back into power. Every time they talk, their approval rate sinks lower.

Do you think for one second, that the American people don't know that this was caused by the DEMOCRAT PANDEMIC ? Since 2020, Democrats have been trying to use the pandemic economy they wrecked, to blame Trump.

In November 2024, the voters showed them what they thought about this scam job. You haven't learned yet ?

What your report really shows is the massive (all-time record) +33.4% GDP of 2020 Q3, that Trump & Republicans can do, when they don't have their hands tied by shutdowns, and Pelosi refusals to allow stimulus checks$$$ to be sent out.

They will try this already failed ruse from now and well into the 22nd century, despite the fact that everyone knows it was a setup to take away Trump's top issue (the economy), in an election year. Notice they don't spotlight Q3 & Q4 of 2020, both with high GDPs.

COVID was not some evil plot to destroy trump.
Dear Lord.

I did highlight Q3 and Q4, pisses me off when I give that information, honestly, and you claim I didn't.

Why was Q3 so high, same reason Q2 was so low.
Trump doesn't get credit for 33.4% gain without taking the blame for -31.4% in Q2.

Both were COVID related, and YES, trump was POTUS, and the failure and closures fall on him, not (D).

Of course not. It was an evil plot to ensure that whoever democrats ran in 2020, because they had nobody good, would beat Trump. Trump's economy was on FIRE in Feb of 2020.

Back to back bad news with job creation plummeting and GDP SHRINKING 0.3% vs a rise of 0.4% expected. Trump is wrecking America.

Terrible news for people who love America and want it to succeed. 62000 new jobs down from 147000 last month,
Private payroll growth slowed to 62,000 in April, well below expectations

If you dispute the facts presented, then counter with your documented facts.

Oh you want facts? Let's list some facts.

Facts:

1. The US has been getting screwed by trade imbalances for DECADES. Trump is the first president in 50 years to actually DO SOMETHING about it.

2. Under Biden, we had RECORD INFLATION FOR YEARS. These prices remain high, and continue to harm the American worker.

3. Trump fixed the Obama fucked up economy in less than a year. Record job growth, record low inflation, record high employment. DOW almost doubled in Trump 1.0.

4. Trump is the first president in 40 years to NOT have Russia steal territory while he was president.

5. Trump has been deemed a "war monger" by the left, yet has done FAR MORE to avoid war, and stop democrat wars, than any other president in 50 years.

It is an indicator of the economy

Right, but up til biden, what qualified as a recession was 2 consecutive quarters of negative gdp. Then biden came along and they started adding more qualifiers to the definition.

Of course not. It was an evil plot to ensure that whoever democrats ran in 2020, because they had nobody good, would beat Trump. Trump's economy was on FIRE in Feb of 2020.

It really wasn’t.

It really was. And that article is from Oct of 19, not Feb of 20 like I said. Feds cut interest rates when inflation is extremely low. That's just proof of Trumps fantastic low inflation economy. Thanks for playing!!

Unemployment rate further down to 2.9 percent in February

Between November 2019 and February 2020, the number of people in paid employment rose by 21 thousand per month on average, ending at 9.1 million in February.
