trump's policy and the damage done.

[SeaMajor7]

The only thing DAMAGED is the demented Democratic Party, and they're doing it to THEMSELVES.

U.S. economy shrank 0.3% in the first quarter as Trump policy uncertainty weighed on businesses​

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

The U.S. economy contracted in the first three months of 2025, fueling recession fears at the start of President Donald Trump’s second term in office as he wages a potentially costly trade war.

Gross domestic product, a sum of all the goods and services produced from January through March, fell at a 0.3% annualized pace, according to a Commerce Department report Wednesday adjusted for seasonal factors and inflation.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a gain of 0.4% after GDP rose by 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, over the past day or so some Wall Street economists changed their outlook to negative growth, largely due to an unexpected rise in imports as companies and consumers sought to get ahead of the Trump tariffs implemented in early April.

It didn't take long for trump to put his stamp on what was a growing economy.

Patience, grasshopper.

 

[mudwhistle]

Speaking of that, have you figured out that the first quarter ended on March 31?

Yeah.

I was way ahead of you on that.
Already corrected.

However, the
U.S. Bureau of
Economic Analysis website clearly states this is a 'forecast'. Not actual numbers.

 

[mudwhistle]

Trump Deficits are Exploding!

This has dick to do with deficits.

This is GDP, shitforbrains.

Never mind the fact that Dummycraps are still spending our cash on junkets to El Salvador in a vain attempt to retrieve criminal wife-beaters and bring them back to the United States.

Consumption usually goes in first quarter up due to Tax Refunds

Liar. Most people don't get their refund till Feb if they file in Jan.

Try again.

 

[mudwhistle]

When all else fails denial never does.

I'm just giving you the facts from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Sorry if the facts bothers you.

 

[KissMy]

Patience, grasshopper.

Next quarter will be 10x worse at -3%

Explain what this means?

Will you move to Canada or the UK if it's not?

Possible, but let's hope not.

Supply chains are beginning to freeze (again), and that would be exceptionally bad news. He has to find an excuse to get us the fuck out of this and pretend it's a big victory.

It's not too late for the suppy chains, but there's not much time before it all starts feeding on itself. That can't happen.

Have you seen how much the market has zoomed up in the past week?

This board is like watching CNN or MSNBS. Everything is fear and when Trump brings jobs back, we get crickets like zero reports from them about how he stopped illegals and gangs cold.

Many people without cost-of-living increases lost over 20% of their income with the progs in control the last 4 years. That accumulated, is one fifth of their living for a year.

And right back into the dumpster. SP500 is down 10% since Trump took office.

Who doesn't have cost of living increases?

 

[my2¢]

We had some supply chains take a major hit in Trump's first term resulting in a temporary hike in costs of some items (such as lumber) upon recovery. It was a situation beyond his control. This time around there's no overlooking Trump's contribution to the situation.

 

[Paradoxical#1]

And right back into the dumpster. SP500 is down 10% since Trump took office.

Yep. Because he is getting rid of illegals and finally making other countries engage in fair trade. He is not forgoing loans and handing out money like water as Biden/Soros did. There is no gain without some pain.

Getting rid of illegal aliens harms the economy as we need labor. Tariffs are already very low and making them lower is not going to change much. With the weakening dollar, prices are set to increase for average consumers.

This is mostly pain with very little, if any, gain.
