First quarter GDP was -.3%. I you the use the two quarters of negative GDP as the definition for a recession, that is the nail in the coffin as Q2 will be much worse than Q1.
 


“… Consumption slowed to 1.8%. That's decent, but down from 4% at the end of 2024.

… If you set aside the import craziness, the economy slowed in Trumps early days but didn't collapse. That said, the risk of recession is real now with Trump's hefty tariffs.”
 
Passed by a tv yesterday and heard some Trump lackey crowing about the Trump admin making 18 trade deals so far. My brief online search didn't find anything about it, but that's a pretty big discrepancy from the 200 deals Trump claims to have made.

It must be sad to have so little self-esteem.

Trump likes to talk to the press everyday. There are some ways of asking questions which just leads him to deny responsibility. But In a few weeks, when its clear the supply chain is breaking down, questions of a direct nature need to be asked. Something like "what are you doing to get the container ships to come back?"

In fact, that needs to be what Democrats are asking. It serves two purposes. (1) He is responsible, and (2) he has no idea how to fix it other then to surrender the war he started.
