Trump’s Policies Have Shaken a Once-Solid Economic Outlook​

Economic forecasts have deteriorated in recent weeks, reflecting the upheaval from federal layoffs, tariff moves and immigration roundups.

President Trump inherited an economy that was, by most conventional measures, firing on all cylinders. Wages, consumer spending and corporate profits were rising. Unemployment was low. The inflation rate, though higher than normal, was falling.

Just weeks into Mr. Trump’s term, the outlook is gloomier. Measures of business and consumer confidence have plunged. The stock market has been on a roller-coaster ride. Layoffs are picking up, according to some data. And forecasters are cutting their estimates for economic growth this year, with some even predicting that the U.S. gross domestic product could shrink in the first quarter.

That isn't how the fallacy works.

Denying your fallacy won't work, Sybil.

I could just pull nonsense out of my ass, and call it "facts", like you do.

Hilarious. You STILL don't know what 'fact' means. 'Fact' does NOT mean 'Universal Truth', moron.

Try and find a respected economist who will back outrageous tariffs. It is stupid and childish to use tariffs as Trump has. Look at what they did to the stock market. Over 5 trillion in worth has disappeared.

No. Banned for violating rule 12B. It seems too many members here just click on accepting they've read the rules without actually reading the rules or abiding by them.

Trump isn't charging any tariff more than what that nation charges for US imports, Sybil.
The stock market doesn't pay tariffs!
Domestically produced products don't pay tariffs either!

You are describing yourself again, Sybil.
