Nothing else to say - Americans are doing the talking!

Amazon debunked that report. Why don't you have empathy for Trump? Narcissists have no empathy.

Amazon debunked that report? Since when is Amazon a economic data reporting commpany?

Here is the official number

When Donald Trump campaigned on raising tariffs and reaffirmed that commitment during his first week in office, nearly every prominent economist in the country criticized the plan. By March, he had announced sweeping tariff increases on all of America’s major trading partners. In response, the Chair of the Federal Reserve called Trump’s actions "reckless." It's no surprise that the economy contracted during his first quarter in office.

Blaming this early economic downturn on President Biden is a transparent and desperate attempt to deflect attention from the failure of Trump’s own economic strategy.

There is no economic downturn. That's a fabrication.

I have enormous confidence in the Trump economy.

I promise you this is the correct answer to your concerns.
Consumer confidence depends mostly on the press reports. Voters in general do not understand economics. Where could we get confidence? Not from personal experience as prices have fallen under Trump. This is an excellent good sign Trump does well. So just why does the Press still hate Trump. Because the press is damned near entirely managed by Democrats. Jobs have kept improving.

Amazon denied the press report it was going to include tariff prices on their sales to consumers. Again this was a bogus press report that it was about to show tariff prices to consumers.

GDP is determined by calculating the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within the country's borders at the end of each quarter. Trump's suspended reciprocal tariffs in the 2nd quarter and thus it had no effect on 1st quarter GDP

Of course. We both make that case. And more than that, the tariffs finally included were 10 percent and thus far China is the country upset over it.
I keep reminding democrats that Biden in fact also jacked up tariffs on China. But the press ran cover for Biden.

The Democrats clearly lack empathy as you also lack empathy,. A classic definition of narcissism.

Stating that Democrats lack empathy is no more valid than saying humans lack empathy. While such generalizations are common in political discourse, that doesn’t make them accurate or meaningful. These arguments often rely on stereotypes, which tend to be misleading and overly simplistic. Both major political parties encompass a wide range of beliefs, levels of intellect, and emotional perspectives.

Tariffs are the factor that is hurting him most right now.

Since Donald Trump took office for his second term, the stock market has experienced a significant decline. The S&P 500 has fallen more than 15%, marking the worst performance for a new administration since the dot-com bust during George W. Bush's presidency

The Dow and S&P 500 are both more than 6% below their levels on Election Day, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq is down over 11%

This downturn has been attributed to various factors, including the announcement of new tariffs and ongoing trade tensions.

And the tariffs are taking effect now.

Tariffs are frequently adjusted as a result of ongoing trade negotiations. Within every country, trade associations routinely petition their representatives to raise tariffs on specific goods, whether it's sugarcane, rice, batteries, or manufactured products. Whenever one country implements policies that restrict imports, affected nations often respond with retaliatory tariffs. This back-and-forth is a constant feature of global trade, which is why the media often overlooks it.

However, Trump has gone far beyond the usual scope of tariff adjustments. He has attempted to overhaul the entire tariff structure between the United States and all of its major trading partners. No president in recent history has undertaken such a sweeping and risky approach, and for good reason: doing so invites economic instability. The likely consequences include rising inflation, a potential recession, or even a period of stagflation reminiscent of the economic turmoil of the 1970s.

Maybe you don't realize it, but that applies when posters claim Trump lacks empathy. That is the classic problem with Narcissists.

Are you happy with the many countries existing off the tariffs they charge the USA?
Trump isn't happy.

We pay for the tariffs other counties hit us with. The media ignores that fact. Trump has plans to correct that. What does China do with it's tariffs against us all? It supports it's industry so it can beat our industry.
