This has the DemonRAT chimpanzees’ heads exploding. Their “media” is going to have to upgrade their lies and defense of all of the foreigners fighting the American people.
“100%”. That’s the kiss of death, right there.
Hopefully he’s not selling snake oil.
He’s selling happy-talk; that’s his schtick.
I’m resigned to whatever happens because once Trump leaves the political scene no elected Democrat or Republican president following him is going to have the guts to do what he is attempting to try and correct the decades of financial havoc caused by globalization and the corruption in DC. I’m afraid Trump is just a temporary band-aid for the inevitable destruction of the American economy.
I am pretty sure that the last senior White House staff person to have any credibility in such statements was Alfred Kahn, back in 1978. Having been prohibited from talking about a “recession” because the Carter administration honchos required happy talk, Kahn announced that the U.S. was having or was about to have a “banana.” And he stuck with that terminology to drive the point home.
Well, given that the Left had to “redefine” what a recession is, yet never did... all they said was that consecutive quarters of negative growth is no longer the standard... we need to see at least THREE quarters of negative growth, and Pres Trump has not had a single quarter go by yet! lol
I would be hard pressed to believe that their will be a recession this year. Perhaps if there ends up being a TRUE trade war... or China decided to demand all its currently held US bonds be paid.. that could have a major impact, as the government would be forced into borrowing money at higher rates to liquidate the held debt...
Short of that however, every indicator I have seen shows the economy is FINALLY working again after 4 years of barely moving.
Plus Walmart, Target and Amazon all stated that the only reason year over year same store spending increased was due to an increase in store brand(generic)items. That discretionary spending was down. The stock market is predicting a recession. That is WHY it has been correcting since December. I don't know why everyone is surprised. It is just part of the normal cycle.
Air Vice-Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham: I promise you one thing, General. You will see no more German planes.
Tariff War=Recession
He must know what some of us already know.
This tariff bs is just a game.
Declare victory, and move on.
No one is “smart enough” to know what the markets are going to do over the next nine months, because no one can predict with any certainty, the many possible geoplitical or ecnonomic-change events that could affect markets in the next nine months. The one thing that is certain about the markets is that their future states are not certain.
Whatg do you mean? We’re already in a recession!
I just say that despite ups and downs, over a certain period of
years the market generally increases.
Try to buy on the low, and sell at a relative high.
The jobs report beat expectations by 40%.
Until the Bubbas that “call” it and decided two straight negative quarters did not make a Biden recession will decide they don’t NEED two quarter to call a Trump recession. Bank.
OK, but get the tax and regulatory reform enacted ASAP. The only thing more important— ban the vote cheating.
Since government spending is part of the GDP measure and it is clear there will be no cuts to it in either the House or Senate bills, it will be hard to have a decline in GDP (definition of recession).
You know what is not part of the normal cycle?
