Vast improvement in the economy and leadership. What's not to celebrate?0.5% was abysmal. Great. It went from abysmal to bad.
That's what you're celebrating?
Guess what it was in 2024.

Because it's not a vast improvement. It's actually a significant weakening as compared to last year.Vast improvement in the economy and leadership. What's not to celebrate?
Trump wasn't sworn in until late January, the 1st quarter is Biden's. You don't combine them.What do you get when you combine the first quarter and second quarter?
About 1.5%. Probably less actually.
0.4 to 1.4 isn't a vast improvement? It's 350% higher.Because it's not a vast improvement. It's actually a significant weakening as compared to last year.
It's worse than 2.8% from 2024.0.4 to 1.4 isn't a vast improvement? It's 350% higher.
Are you black?
You know as well as I do if the numbers were crap, the same MSNPCs who don't think Trump's policies have any positive effect would blame Trump for everything.Trump wasn't sworn in until late January, the 1st quarter is Biden's. You don't combine them.
The 2nd quarter had some of Trump's policies in place, like the big dip in April after Trump announced his tariffs and the markets over-reacted.
Bidenomics cost US families $11,400 a year in lost buying power. Trump will be getting some of that buying power back.It's worse than 2.8% from 2024.
Up .1%It was down, now going up again (2.7% last month vs 2.4% annualized inflation rate from the month before).
Economists forecast growing inflation rates due to Trump's policies and Fed is unlikely to reduce interest rates.

It proves Trump pulled us out of the Fauci pandemic, and Tater fucked it up.Wow, could you be more stupid. Sure, after the huge drop off the previous two quarters. That growth didn't even get him above water until Q1 of 2021. Oh wait, who was president then?
What a silly oversimplification. Trump started a trade war with Mexico and Canada within 2 weeks of taking office, at the very beginning of February. Pretending that wouldn't have any effect on GDP reports is foolish.Trump wasn't sworn in until late January, the 1st quarter is Biden's. You don't combine them.

Because their forecasts have been wrong, Dumbass.You are straw grasping.
Why not simply look at inflation forecasts?

All you demented zombies have areBecause it's not a vast improvement. It's actually a significant weakening as compared to last year.
Which economic forecasts have been right since Trump took office in Jan?You sound like an idiot.
Here is my advice to you on how to fix that:
Don't be an idiot, don't post here your little politico rants and simply go read some economic inflation forecasts.
Just advice, you don't have to do any of that and you can just keep shitting yourself in public, that's fine too.
Trump wasn't sworn in until late January. he didn't get most of his staff approved until after the 1st quarter.What a silly oversimplification. Trump started a trade war with Mexico and Canada within 2 weeks of taking office, at the very beginning of February. Pretending that wouldn't have any effect on GDP reports is foolish.
You get that 2025 ain't over yet. FFS, give credit where credit is due instead of whining about your failed POTUS and his keepers.It's worse than 2.8% from 2024.
The number is the number, dumbass.The nation's gross domestic product — the broadest measure of economic activity — grew at an annual rate of 3% in April, May and June, according to a report Wednesday from the Commerce Department. That's a turnaround from the three previous months when GDP contracted at a rate of 0.5%.
Both measures were somewhat distorted by big swings in international trade as businesses and consumers first braced for, then reacted to, President Trump's worldwide tariffs. Imports surged early in the year, as businesses tried to stockpile foreign goods before the tariffs took effect. That had the effect of depressing GDP in January, February and March, because imports are subtracted from the government's measure of economic activity.
All tariffs to go in effect on Friday (August 1st). From here on in, we will truly see the effects of the tariffs on our GPD.

Stagflation?Not if inflation is up at the same time.
Which is what makes stagflation so paralyzing for the Fed.
Thanks for admitting Moroner lied..
Are you for real? Trump didn't even get us above water. And the Fauci pandemic? How ******* lame. "The Buck Stops Here", that is how it works. Well, except for Trump. He takes credit for everything and responsibility for nothing. Damn, all most every civilized country in the world handled the Covid crisis better than Trump. It is ******* sad.It proves Trump pulled us out of the Fauci pandemic, and Tater fucked it up.
‘Next?
Didn't stop him from starting a trade war on February 1st.Trump wasn't sworn in until late January. he didn't get most of his staff approved until after the 1st quarter.
Don't get stupid. The 1st quarter is Biden's.
