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.

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.

--> How did we become the richest nation on the planet then?

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

--> COVID caused supply chain issues. President Biden's polices kept the US out of recession and fared better than every industrialized nation in speed of recovery. BTW we all thought shitler! would drastically reduce prices day one. Not just lie about it.

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.

--> The DOW tripled under President Obama. Obama created more jobs, had lower inflation and had more months of positive job growth.

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

--> They don't have to, shitler! will give it to them. See Ukraine now.

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.

--> Sure fuckup, who wants to invade Panama, Canada and Greenland? in the last 50 years, who has coddled dictators more than shitler!?

"So far" is the carry over lag of the Biden train wreck, and the last quarter of the latest of Biden's 3 recessions. (some people would say it was 4)
Remember - anything you say now, can be revisited a year from now.

Most people think you're an idiot. With posts like this I have to agree.

Recession? It's fifty fifty. Well, just vote for Republicans if you still think they did the good jobs! lol.

Consumer spending decelerated in the first quarter of 2025, growing at a 1.8% annualized rate compared to a robust 4.0% pace in the fourth quarter of 2024, marking the slowest increase since mid-202325. This slowdown was influenced by several factors:

Inflation pressures increased, with the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rising 3.6% overall and 3.5% excluding food and energy, which likely constrained consumer purchasing power13.

Consumers shifted spending patterns, with services such as healthcare, housing, and utilities continuing to grow, while spending on goods, especially durable goods like motor vehicles, declined sharply. This suggests consumers pulled back on discretionary and big-ticket items amid rising prices and uncertainty4.

The slowdown also reflected cautious consumer behavior as confidence weakened due to economic uncertainties and tariff-related disruptions, leading households to tighten spending32.

Despite the deceleration, consumer spending still contributed positively to GDP growth, but not enough to offset the drag from surging imports and declining government spending14.

In summary, consumer spending decelerated due to inflationary pressures, changing spending patterns away from goods toward services, and increased economic uncertainty linked to tariffs and price rises1234.

You guys keep saying that shit but the economic metrics don’t support it.

The stock market under Bidenomics went up 26 percent last year, GDP was at 2.7 percent, unemployment at 3.8 percent, inflation at 3.0 percent

That is what Trump had to start with
Why Fuk it up?

Why?

I don't have any children or g'children.

Those who love me prefer a hand made card and a gift likewise.

Go ahead and go broke trying to buy the love of little tyrants.

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.

Fuckup

What was Q2 GDP in 2020?

Is that what shitler! and sycophants can do?
