Trump Takes Just Over A Year To Kill GDP And Job Growth At The Same Time

[SassyIrishLass]

You are so worried about tariffs and taxes, but silent about your ilk wanting to sunset Trump's tax cuts.
Do you realize how much more you would be paying in taxes if your tribe would have gotten their way?
Keep bitching about Trump, it's what the TDS crowd does best.

Let them watch what happens in NYC if Mamydani has his way...or they could look at California and see the results

Do you? I guess you can't afford that AND asking to pay higher tariffs.

I usually buy American if I can, but I see you're avoiding the meat of my post.
I guess you will still remain silent about your team wanting to raise taxes
on you by letting the Trump tax break expire. You are a good minion.

Sorry to tell you this but tariffs also drive up the prices of products made in America. As to Trump's tax cuts they disproportionately benefit the extremely wealthy, large corporations, and are fuel for inflation. So yes, repeal them.

Spoiler alert: they are not. Despite everything we ran a record high $1.2T trade deficit 2025.

"Kill the GDP?"

You mean like how it "only" grew by 1.4% because democrats shut down the gov't for 243 days?

You're right, he's killin' it!

So much for that recession the liberals were praying for.

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

The economy is thriving. GDP went down because democrats shut down the government.
Bidens ec0nomy was based on government spending and borrowing. GDP and jobs were mostly government jobs that we have to pay for. What we got was 9% inflation.

Trump us transitioning the economy from debt based government spending to wealth based private sector jobs. He fired 300,000 useless federal jobs 32000 state jobs were lost and 3 million illegals deported. The good news is all new jobs are private jobs. That will keep increasing as manufacturing increases.

1) Economists expected 3% growth, including accounting for shut down effects and instead it went at 1.4%. This proves Trump killed GDP above and beyond the shut down.
2) more Americans believe Republicans owned the shutdown responsibility.

The Schumer shutdown accounted for at least 1 full percentage point of GDP loss.

Typical liberals, cause the problem then blame Trump. It's like Covid 2.0.

Then how come 3% was expected (accounting for the Trump shutdown) and it grew at 1.4% (accounting for the Trump shutdown).
You’re dodging that hot potato, aren’t you? Also this:

"We're losing the farm but at least federal gunmen are murdering civilians in the suburbs" - MAGA people

What civilians are being murdered? Link to any convictions for “murder” by federal agents.

 

[Crepitus]

Why the **** would MOTHERFUCKING HITLER LISTEN TO MTG?


What are the 3 million released documents?

Why didnt Biden do it?

Lefties move goalposts all the time.

Try tobe serious here. tRump fought tooth and nail to keep those files from going public and you know it.

Did I say "know it"? Hell, you supported it.

 

[Clipper]

He's going to tell the country Tuesday, that the economy is great, prices are down, and he just raised our taxes another 15%.

Should go well.

He'll turn the speech into a whining, grievance filled shitshow replete with name calling & attacks on SCOTUS who hurt the poor things "feels" yesterday.

It wasn't a Trump shutdown, it was a Schumer shutdown, shithead. Every republican voted to open gov't, every democrat voted to keep it closed.

And yet your stupid ******* ass blames Trump.

You are one dumb ************. This is why democrats shouldn't be allowed to run a popcorn stand much less our gov't.

Whose sock are you, anyway? Conservative my ******* ass.

 

[Dragonlady]

Plus, he released the Epstein files.

Biden did not do that!

No he didn’t. He released some of the Epstein files. Less than half of them.

Schumer doesn’t have a majority in the House and Senate. That would be Trump.

 

[ColonelAngus]

OK.

On a scale of 1-10, how upset are you with the Biden admin for not releasing ALL OF THEM?

Then Trump would not have has the opportunity to release LESS THAN HALF.

You want 100% unredacted release of all files. SAME HERE. NO REDACTIONS OF ANYTHING. AS BIDEN SHOULD HAVE DONE.

President Donald Trump's Friday got off to a rough start as three critical components of his economic agenda collapsed.

A major economic indicator, gross domestic product (GDP), slowed significantly, dropping to just 1.4% annually as inflation rose. And the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the legal basis for the president’s sweeping global tariffs, ruling that his use of that authority was unlawful.

"U.S. growth slowed more than expected near the end of 2025 as the government shutdown impacted spending and investment, while a key inflation metric showed high prices are still a factor for the economy, according to data released Friday," CNBC reported. GDP was expected to come in at 2.5%, experts predicted.

For 2025, the president delivered GDP far softer than his predecessor, President Joe Biden, did in 2024. Meanwhile, inflation "held firm in December, according to a gauge most closely watched by Fed officials that increased 3% from a year ago," CNBC added, meaning that overall prices are three percent higher than they were one year ago.

The good news is he won't have to cut those $155,000 socialist welfare checks to farmers now.

The checks to farmers are going to have to be a lot bigger if they are going to survive what trump has done to them.
