Trump may have talked America into recession before a trade tariff was even imposed

Stock market started plummeting yesterday after the new tariffs were announced. Continuing to plummet today.

As he points out, any new factories that might be built in the US will take years before they're up and running.

Ed “The Clown” Conway weighs in.

I tend to agree, stop worrying so much about Ukraine and worry like crazy about the people in Nowhere America as I myself are not seeing one oidia things are getting better. Granted he has only been in office a month but he has driven down my 401k, Gold is out of sight and fuel and food has not changed...

[Texas Eagle]

Or he may not have. Let’s see, shall we? Yes. Let’s shall.

[SaxxonWoods]

Recessions are periodic, normal and necessary. We’re due, and it will be a good thing. Trump thinks ahead years, while most react hourly.

[gibsonguy]

MSM narrative is out now. Recession is here and it’s because of the Tariffs. Repeat.

“a piston - a component of a car component, might cross the border, back and forth between Canada and the US and Mexico, six times before it actually reaches a customer.”

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve read today. Who would tolerate such gross economic inefficiency?

[millenial4freedom]

yep. we still have some forms of animal spirits in the financial markets that need to be wrung out in order to drive down inflationary forces (consumer spending).

seems like trump and Bessent want this to occur sooner rather than later.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You can suck your way into Marxism. Now we have to shoot our way out. Of course it isn’t going to be pleasant. The RAT turds won’t allow it. Americans, all Americans are going to be punished by the RATS for we Americans RE-ELECTING PRESIDENT TRUMP!

[Magic Fingers]

Yes, we should just keep getting screwed indefinitely.

[DownInFlames]

The recession started in 2021 when Biden was elected and all his tomfoolery.

[woodpusher]

It will have the effect that more things will say Made in USA.

[unclebankster]

The stock market is overvalued and a correction is needed.

Bloated valuations and “mirage economics” won’t do anybody any good.

[MNJohnnie]

Economy was in recession before Trump took office

If this nonsense were true why didn’t we get a recession in his 1st term?

[No name given]

That’s right.

[No name given]

Good point.

[VTenigma]

More like Biden, the demoncrats and their overspending drove us into recession and their minions in the press actively covered it up.

[VTenigma]

17% of GDP is deficit spending. When you remove that spending that puts the U.S. into recession. Math is hard.

Economy was in recession before Trump took office

We have been in a silent recession since about August 2023 according to my books in my business. That's when the funny money dried up, credit cards were maxing out and no growth other than on paper.

[cowboyusa]

How dare America stand up for itself.
