    Biden’s last report was +2.4%…. trumps first is -0.3%…. That’s nearly a 3% swing in American prosperity in just 3 months.

    Enjoy your hardship and pain, America.

    We are exiting the fooling around phase, and now we are entering the find out phase

    We would have been better off without a President over the past three months than with Trump. What an incredible nosedive without any external causes.

    Well, Trump is basically checked out on everything except the tariffs ... so we basically don't have a president for everything else, but just this.

    Waiting for a certain poster to go back to his bag of tricks and claim this is still Biden’s economy (because apparently Trump is just a powerless bystander in the three months of chaos).

    I'm waiting for my thread title to be changed to something like "Wall Street consensus wildly optimistic on Trump's economic impact".

    The economy, of course, is the lead story on most of the major news sites this morning. It's a very big story.
    At Fox, of course ...:cool: ... the economic news is well down the page. At the top: Lots of praise for Trump

    In case you need a cheat sheet on who gets credit/blame for the stock market, regardless of who is actually president at the time, Trump has you covered:

    Market goes up = Trump
    Market goes down = Biden

    As pointed out, this is what a healthy economy not yet hurt by but anticipating tariffs looks like.

    Good news is at least Tax revenue will start to fall and the deficit will explode even more. I am not sure how that will be good news but MAGA will tell me soon.

    Funny how two consecutive negative quarters suddenly means a recession again. It didn't under Biden. When Biden had two consecutive negative quarters in 2022, that wasn't a recession.

    So which one is it?

    If you want to say the next negative quarter means a recession under Trump, then you have to finally admit the U.S. was under a recession in Biden in 2022.
