Q1 GDP comes out tomorrow at 5:30 AM PST.

The economy in Q4 under Sleepy Joe grew at 2.4%

Place your bets for tomorrow's Trump GDP.

He owns ALL of this number.
No one else.

I say 0.2%

Note: The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the PCI will be released at 7:00 AM.

The economy was strong under Biden. The temporary inflation was related to the post-pandemic situation. One thing for politicians to note for the future: Almost 100% of voters notice inflation, whereas with a slight rise in unemployment, only the 4-6% of the people who are unemployed (plus their inner circle) really notice.

Trump has shown that he doesn't really understand how the economy works. When people buy imported goods, he acts like we have lost that money. What actually happened was that people had enough money to be able to make an economic choice.

If Trump thinks the country is going to be better off if Americans are working at a steel plant, or sewing My Pillows, he is sadly mistaken. What we need to be doing is helping workers transition to the economy of the future.

I'll say -0.3%.

Yeah, I did see the news headlines already. This reminds me of the old movie "Honey, I shrunk the economy!"

Doesn't look very good compared to this chart and +2.4% in Q4 under Sleepy Joe.

The stable Genius has been working hard to MAGA!

Tariffs (and the anticipation of) will do that every time.
He must have flunked Econ 101a at Wharton.
Or never showed up to class.

Chump on Truth Social last week said that the weak GDP figures had "NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS".

What a moron.

On the topic of GDP, Lutnick claims that foreign countries are investing $10 trillion to build factories here. That is about one third of the GDP of this country. Who believes this garbage?
