US GDP grows at 3% Trump wins againGDP is growing at 3%

[Rawley]

No problem. Business investment down, consumer spending still climbing. Inventory levels at historical lows. Inflation beginning to spike

Dude, you are all over the place. You were just preaching that businesses front loaded all of their inventory. Now you are saying inventory is historic lows?

Trump has literally secured Trillions, repeat that, Trillions in business investment in the US.

Inflation spiking? It's at 2.7. It was at 9% under your Zucchini brained leader.

GDP is growing at 3% inflation is down tariffs are a good thing

Somewhere Obama and Biden have a bitter sourpuss face.

Given the fact that Trump inherited a record economy, he cannot be credited for this. This is just like his last presidency. Talk about this next year at this time.

He can be credited for it since the same rush to import dynamic that depressed Q1 GDP numbers has caused the upside in Q2 when importing slowed.

The lie is in "crediting" Trump for Q2 without "blaming" him for Q1. You average it out and it shows lackluster growth so far and we'll see where it goes from here.

Thats a ridiculous, stupid lie.

Inflation was already 2.x% when Biden was leaving office.

If you are going to stupidly blame Biden for global post-Covid inflation phenomenon then man up, stick to your stupid standard and consistently give him credit for also fixing global inflation.

Imports don’t add to the GDP since they’re not made here. They subtract from it.

So importing more in Q1 hurt GDP, and selling that stuff in Q2 made GDP look better, it wasn't a major policy that made Q1 bad or Q2 good, it was just importers worried about tariffs, not Biden or Trump. Which makes some sense. Trump's policies need time to work.

Umm across the board tariffs are OF COURSE a major policy.

Worry was caused by the doom and gloom democrats and their media thats been wrong about everything. Trump is proving them wrong and rubbing their faces in his success which is Americas success.

A damn good one we will bring in 300 billion this year alone. In 4 years more then the deficit.

Exports are basically flat, increasing only a tiny amount. It’s really the lack of imports in Q2 that increased GDP in Q2. Once imports stabilize, it’ll start dragging on GDP again.

Inflation is down?
Nope

300 billion is not correct (nor is it a knowable given constant tariff rates changes), but either way:

It's a damn bad policy because of the chaotic implementation and because primarily it's our businesses and consumers who will ultimately pay these taxes as an added product cost.

And these taxes are far worse than other types of taxation because it is regressive and especially hurt low and middle income people who spend more of their salaries on these imported products.

 

[citygator]

Thanks for admitting Moroner lied..

Consumer spending is GDP health... the import/export is being impacted by the tariff craziness which is why we had a GDP crash last quarter without being too bad - it was import related. We are screwed with this anemic lack of growth.

Its reasonable projection based on whats come in now. Its damn good policy we can pay down the deficit create jobs stimulate the economy open foreign markets and reset the global economy to favor us. Wages are up, jobs beating expectations GDP up.
Why couldnt Biden do that?

Every time I see Larry Summers on Bloomberg whining about Trump's tariffs and predicting "doom and gloom" I want to throw a brick at the TV. Like they used to have in bars for Monday night football at Howard Cosell.

Why do you want America to fail

He is your typical Dimwinger.

Their Cult hates America.

 

[Hafar1014]

What’s come in now?

Based on the information available as of July 30, 2025:

• The U.S. federal government has collected approximately $100 billion in tariffs so far in 2025 (through July 11), according to the Penn-Wharton Budget Model.
• This represents a significant increase compared to the same period in 2024, when less than $48 billion was collecte
• Extrapolate 100 billion to the end of the year with more countries paying them and you have 200-300 billion times 4 years. Thats almost the entire deficit.

Record economy?

Link?

Betcha can’t.

 

[jc456]

You have to look deeper than the single number, just like Q1 GDP. They’re skewed because of the effects of tariffs and the way businesses changed inventory and importation habits.

It’s not nearly so rosy. Positive, but weak growth.

facts you just can't have huh?
