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

So the tariffs worked?

Oh geez.

 

[jc456]

Oh geez.

it brought up the GDP right? are you going to argue against the facts?

 

[BluesLegend]

Trump has just about put the nail in the Dem party's coffin and he's only been on the job 7 months.

Netting together with Q1 the import impact is just a shift. Look at the 70% of the economy that is driven by the consumer purchases. It was another pretty weak quarter. Not a disaster but is not reflecting a robust economy at all. Could be the continued contraction of the economy. We will see.

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.

That is my prediction for Q2 next year. I see reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Of course, hard to read the words well with your head up your ass.

Yup, comprehending the incoherent ramblings of ignorant assholes is not my forte.

Have a blessed life.

Exactly, that is absolutely the way you have to look at it.

And you must look at the technical notes. They really tell the story. The biggest contributor to declining investment was private inventory investment. I mean it is obvious, companies bought in inventory ahead of the possible tariffs. And when you look at the increase in consumer spending, a large part of that was private consumers reacting the very same way, just a little behind the businesses. Makes sense.

The way you look at is the way you’re told to look at it.

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

If they stay in place you might get half that, which even at that, makes it the largest tax increase in American history. But the claim that it will eventually displace the deficit is a damn pipe dream.

 

[Winston]

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.

Four years to cover one year of deficits. You ain't really good at this are you?

Go look it up its common knowledge

What do you see in that graph hoss? Looks to me like the trend like is going up, not down.

 

[Winston]

No need to argue against the facts. Yes, GDP went up, after dropping for the first time since the last Trump administration in Q1. But then again, GDP is expected to go up every month. What is important is the rate of that growth, the slope of the curve, and when you average Q1 and Q2 you don't even get to two percent. Not exactly a victory.

That won't happen. We might bring in 300 billion, but the money from tariffs will be less than 5 percent of the revenue and tariffs will not create surpluses over the next 4 years.

imsquared in neverland again.

Wrong. Biden did leave Trump a very strong economy.

just post up the gdp record.

No, the way I look at it is the way I see it. Who posted the link to the report in this thread? Oh yeah, that was me. I was reading it within minutes of its release. I highly doubt most on the right have even bothered to read the report, especially not the "technical notes". They are too busy perusing Townhall, Fox News, and PJ Media.

See, I can't afford to be a partisan hack. I have responsibilities. Here is the kind of things I am looking at.

it's why it's time to for the feds, Powell, drop interest rates.

Whites voted for racism. Trump got 57 percent of the white vote and less than 50 percent from every other group.

The border could not have been open since Biden deported more people than Trump, and if it would have been open you can thank Trump for that because he sabotaged a border bill supported by the Border Patrol so he could tell people like you how Biden/Harris kept the brder open.

Powell knows what he's doing. Stop repeating things trump says because he doesn't.
