U.S. Economy Shrank in First Quarter, in Reading Clouded by Messy Trade Data​

The chaotic start to President Trump’s second term roiled the economy at the beginning of the year, as consumers and businesses scrambled to react to a constant stream of tariff announcements and policy shifts.

The policies, and the uncertainty they created, were enough to push economic growth into reverse in the first quarter. U.S. gross domestic product, adjusted for inflation, declined at an 0.3 percent annual rate in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, a stunning reversal from the strong growth at the end of last year.

Trump Blames Biden After U.S. Economy Shrinks Amid Tariff War

Underlying economic growth remained solid in early 2025, but tariffs and uncertainty are expected to cause a further slowdown.

I am amused when Biden liars pretend that his dissasterous last year had no effect on the first quarter. But it is equally amusing that economic dullards believe that Tariffs are the cause.

Once the dust settles and we get higher than normal GDP, what excuse will you brainless dumbasses come up with then? That Biden did it?

Trump will never admit he screwed everything up, So he has to blame somebody. Biden left him a good economy and Trump screwed it up like he does everything.

You will never admit you're a moron. The year is just getting started and a LOT of very good things are happening. Turn off MSNBC, take your meds and be less stupid.

Blaming Biden is truly a farce.

I can't recall a time when a President so fully owned the economy. Everything that is happening now is happening because of Trump's decades-long obsession w/ tariffs and paranoid fantasy that we're getting "ripped off."

So, Presidents FULLY own the first three months of an economy they inherited. More stupid from the moron side of the aisle. :palm:

That's standard practice in the Republican Party. Many GOP representatives have bragged about bringing infrastructure projects to their districts, that are funded by Biden's infrastructure bill which they voted against.

The "infrastructure" bill was a farcical redistribution of taxpayer wealth. Governments do not create wealth. They steal if from those who earn and create it.

If you had half the brain you think you do, you would be able to comprehend the OBVIOUS.

So, no MAGA's want to comment on how Trump turned a growing economy into a quickly shrinking economy in just 3 months?

Your posts won't end very well. But alas, you're a fucking moron who will pretend you never made such inane stupid predictions in hopes that America fails for purely partisan political reasons. You really are THAT fucking stupid. :palm:

one more and we're officially in a recession. But I think anyone with a brain knows were already into one and likely headed to a depression on a speed run under this incompetent orange twat

I am pretty sure the Biden administration redefined what a recession is. That said, your post won't age very well. You would be embarrassed if you had a functioning brain.
 
Cypress said:
We're going to use the exact same metrics of economic performance that were always used when Democrats were presidents - and that includes GDP as a measure of economic performance.

MAGA morons are not allowed to edit, modify, finesse, or wordsmith long-standing economic metrics to try to save their tangerine Messiah.

Just STFU already you brainless dumbass. Nothing screams MORON louder than a Kamala voting clown.

America voted for this repugnant shit show.
Why are we focusing on Trump instead of the mutant trumpanzees truly responsible?

One person can't fuck up America.
77 million + Americans can and did.

Yes, Trump is as disgusting an organism as has ever lived on this planet,
and no sane person would deny that.

But this dumpster fire is NOT his fault.
It's the fault of every single American who was eligible to vote
and did not vote for Kamala Harris, the only person in plausible position to stop him.

None of you are as good at hating as I am--you're amateurs at it, really--
but if you're going to try, at least know whom to hate.

Your own link shows the economic contraction was larger than expected, and that next quarter the economy is expected to slow further.

The inflation-adjusted figures marked the first quarterly contraction from the US economy since 2022. They outstripped initial estimates by economists, many of whom had anticipated the US economy to slow, but not contract.

The trade war is expected to slow US economic activity further over the course of of the next quarter, leaving the largest economy in the world facing the real prospect of entering a technical recession this year.

The contraction caused by a massive level of panic driven imports halfwit. :palm:

One can only wonder when the GDP starts to soar what stupidity you leftist inbreds will rant about. Much like the stock market collapsing stupidity.
