GDP surged in the second quarter after sliding earlier this year
excerpt:
The U.S. economy surged between April and June after shrinking in the first three months of the year, driven by a large shift in imports tied to President Trump's trade policies. The country's GDP increased at an annual rate of 3% in the second quarter, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That's higher than the 2% pace the GDP was forecast to grow for the April-to-June period, according to economists polled by financial data firm FactSet. The latest data shows that in the second quarter, from April to June, that trend started to shift with a large drop off in imports and a rise in exports — signaling that the United States is closing the trade gap President Trump has repeatedly cited as the basis for his tariff policy.
Hey @moe, when you read those stats, does that mean your predictions of imminent economic chaos because of Trump's tariffs was outrageously wrong?
@moe
I can't read statistics atl, I can only follow legacy media Trump smears.
Poor guy, maybe that's why your economic "gloom & doom" predictions are always proven factually wrong as well as grossly economically ignorant?
@moe
I'd try to argue that, but I've made enough of an *** of myself to know I'd better stay out of this one OK?
OK @moe ....we'll allow you back out of making more of an *** of yourself this time, but remember you owe us OK?
I think I've done pretty good job of that all by myself!
Nice work too DJT!
