The US economy unexpectedly shrank in the first quarter of the year as businesses prepared for tariffs

Who would have thought that an insane, unhinged Global Trade War would produce negative economic effects on us? I thought Trump said prices would go down, jobs would come back, etc.

Well, the market is fluid and it responds to rumor, scandal, anticipation, and with the left media and the democrat party screaming about disaster on the horizen, I expect this adds to the chaotic state of affairs in the market and in the business world. Schumer calls it the 100 days from hell, what the hell do you expect when one party is out there trying to sink the Republican Presidents programs. Not sink it for any reason other than they want to harm him, harm the republicans, and all that harms the nation, but they want power.

Businesses aren’t basing their decisions on the media - they’re basing their decisions on the impacts to their bottom lines.

So the international community is responding to Democrats and US media, not Donald's actions.

Damn...that Deep State is powerful!
 
Still no deals. They are deliberately trying to ruin our economy. Worst administration ever. If I were a Trump voter I'd feel dumb as shit for voting for this idiot.

So you are blaming the "left media" and democrat party" for the 3 month (Q1) drop?
You truly think that businesses and others are listening to these evil democrats and evil media when seeing business profits decrease, layoffs, price increases, etc.?

They’ll twist themselves into pretzels in order to blame anyone OTHER than their beloved Dear Leader.

Then again, their heads are so far up his ass, they can’t see past his colon.

Look, I know that Trump's chaotic shitshow is a big reason for this.
I don't like to see the US struggle. I want prosperity.
And I'm not MAGA hoping and wishing for a great depression when a democrat is in office.
 
According to the polls, buyer's remorse has already started. I suspect many now wish that they voted for the black lady that would have continued Biden's growth economy and pro-Ukrainian policies, while not firing half the civil service.

However, this is what the majority voted for -- whether they thought so or not. Too bad the rest of us have to suffer along with them.

If there is a silver lining, it's that the Mango Mussolini may not be able to convert America into a dictatorship. Trump's economic destruction and his other destructive actions should, instead, tell voters that stripping people of their civil rights, annihilating education and science, destroying U.S. trade and poisoning our international relationships has one unifying goal: to destroy civil society in the name of MAGA. In the words of The Who, "we're not going to take it."

It would require that Trump reverse his trade war

That war will reverse if Q2 is also negative and we are officially in a recession.
No way he (Trump) wants his name associated with a recession.

Mix this scene with the Castle Anthrax scene in The Holy Grail, as my HS did. It's hilarious. Especially when one of the boys is dressed as one of the ladies of castle anthrax only to rip off his costume and yell out "no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!". That's the first time I saw any Monty Python at all, was that performance, so imagine my surprise when it didn't happen in the actual movie.

One beautiful word: tariffs. The most beautiful word in the dictionary. Better than: groceries. And if you put 'em together, you get a great new beautiful word: inflation.

For no other reason than to harm Americans. It's almost as if Trump is on China's side.
