"As the impact of the tax cuts wears off and high energy prices persist, US GDP growth could fall well below the first quarter’s 2% annual rate...

There’s a simple explanation for the disappointing consumer report, and that is the rising oil price. Consumer budgets are so stretched that a few cents more per gallon at the pump translates into reduced spending on other items..."

Perhaps not the best time to start a trade war and raise prices even higher.

The cyclical nature of the business cycle all but guarantees we're headed for a recession. Trump's tariffs, however, have likely hastened its arrival.
 
Anti-Trump people are hoping like hell we go into a recession!
Put the nation into a giant recession and STOP president Trump.
The left's new motto.
 
Not yet barring a big crisis a recession won't hit for 12 months or so

It's about all they have left now other than appealing to God. Uh....oh...nevermind.:lol:
