I really couldn't care less about press secretaries. She's basically a better looking and **slightly** more polite Stephen Miller. Apparently she's a MAGA diehard, meaning she probably believes the bullshit coming out of her mouth.

I'm just amused that less than a month ago, they made a whole production about Liberation Day, about how tariffs were going to make America great. Now they are getting pissed when retailers aren't hiding the tariffs. If they were so great, one would think Trump would love them to be separately invoiced. That way, Americans can see in real time the federal coffers filling up. Good thing that China pays the tariffs!

Great point- the Democrats should be shouting the second paragraph in front of every microphone and social media platform they can find.

Amazon Rules Out Displaying Tariff Impact After White House Attack​

Administration had said breaking out import charges would be ‘a hostile and political act’​

“…
The e-commerce giant said Tuesday it had considered displaying how much import charges would increase prices on its ultracheap shopping website Haul, but said the idea “was never approved and is not going to happen.”

Amazon also said it hadn’t considered the idea for the main Amazon site, and no changes had been implemented on any Amazon properties.

Yet the company’s response was too late to avoid White House involvement. Trump called Bezos to raise concerns after Punchbowl News reported that Amazon was planning to display the impact of tariffs during its online checkout process, according to people familiar with the matter.

Criticism from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt sent company shares down in early morning trading. …”

China on Monday once again denied that it is in talks to resolve its tariff war with the U.S., after a series of statements by President Donald Trump and his aides suggesting trade negotiations were underway.

“Let me make it clear one more time that China and the U.S. are not engaged in any consultation or negotiation on tariffs,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press conference.




Guo also appeared to reject Trump’s claim, in an interview with Time last week, that Chinese President Xi Jinping had called him.

“As far as I know, there have not been any calls between the two presidents recently,” the spokesman said.

Canada gaining traction with tourists as travellers shun U.S.: Accor

French hotel group Accor SA said Canada’s gaining traction as a tourist destination as travellers increasingly avoid the U.S. Read more.
financialpost.com financialpost.com
Canada is benefiting from this influx of travellers, Chief financial officer Martine Gerow said on a call with reporters, adding that Canadians are also scaling back travel to the U.S.

Evidence is mounting that lucrative transatlantic travel may be at risk as European visitors avoid the U.S. amid a larger shift in anti-American sentiment and U.S. tourists rein in spending. Chief executive Sébastien Bazin warned earlier this month that Accor’s forward bookings from Europe to the U.S. this summer are down 25 per cent.

Arrivals of non-citizens to the U.S. by plane dropped almost 10 per cent in March from a year earlier, the U.S.’s International Trade Administration data shows. The pullback could cost the U.S. economy almost US$90 billion in 2025, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates.

“The good news is, if they don’t go to the U.S. they usually end up going somewhere where Accor is present,” Gerow said.

What a chicken shit Bezos is.
 
The latest gold adjusted Q1 GDPNow from the Atlanta fed dropped significantly to -1.5%. The non-gold adjusted is -2.7%.

It will be interesting to see where the GDP is tomorrow. Not sure which of the two is supposed to predict the GDP numbers which will be released.

Ideally that model should get more accurate as we go.

Also note that the St Louis and NY feds have their own estimates but those use input that is not in the official GDP. Atlanta’s uses the same input as the official GDP.

Trump contradicting himself within the same sentence, and the interviewer didn’t push back on the “gas and grocery prices are way down”. 🤦 when, in fact, gas is up and food prices have temporarily stabilized.
