Wait a minute, “the Commerce Dept,” Trump’s Commerce Dept, didn’t you notice what happened to the last person who released figures that didn’t match the narrative that Donnie was echoing?Revised numbers show that the US economic juggernaut grew at a stronger, but still sustainable 3.3% rate in Q2 2025, with inflation staying basically level..."the headline PCE price index edged lower to 2%, in line with the Fed’s inflation goal."
( In Central Indiana ) :Eggs = 2.51 per dozen grade A large; mile = 2.5 per gallon of 2%; chicken= $ 1.99-2.99 per lb. bnlss, skinless breasts; tomatoes= .99 per pound d of Romas; bacon= $ 3.99 [per pound; pork loin = $ 1.99 per pound....beef still high...
How sweet it is ! The economy just won't give the 19%ers the recession they have been begging for....
U.S. economy expanded 3.3% in Q2, with growth even stronger than initially thought
- Gross domestic product rose at a 3.3% annualized pace in the April-through-June period, the Commerce Department reported.
- The reading was better than the initial 3.0% estimate as well as the 3.1% Dow Jones consensus forecast, as consumer spending helped push the number higher.
The U.S. economy grew at a pace that was faster than expected in the second quarter as consumers and businesses held up against tariff volatility.
Gross domestic product rose at a 3.3% annualized pace in the April-through-June period, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in its second estimate for the most encompassing measure of economic activity. The reading was better than an initial 3.0% estimate as well as the 3.1% Dow Jones consensus forecas
Consumer spending, which rose by 1.6% compared with an initial 1.4% estimate, helped push the number higher.
Importantly, a measure called final sales to private domestic purchasers jumped 1.9%, up from the previous figure of 1.2%. Federal Reserve officials watch that metric closely as an indication of demand and sales that focuses on activity within U.S. borders, an especially important measure considering the uncertain impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The GDP number also reflected the unusual impact of the tariffs as they related to trade numbers.
Imports, which subtract from GDP, tumbled 29.8% in the quarter after companies stockpiled ahead of Trump’s April 2 “liberation day” announcement. The figure was a bit less than the previous estimate of 30.3%.
At the same time, exports, which add to GDP, fell by 1.3%, compared with the previous estimate of -1.8%. Taking the figures together, net exports added nearly 5 percentage points to the Q2 total.
~ Inflation-related estimates were little changed from the initial reading. Core personal consumption expenditures prices, which exclude the volatile food and energy categories, rose 2.5%, unchanged from the prior figure, while the headline PCE price index edged lower to 2%, in line with the Fed’s inflation goal.

Typical leftist dumb fuck. The same dumb fucks who bought all the gaslighting and lies of the last administration now project onto Trumps.Wait a minute, “the Commerce Dept,” Trump’s Commerce Dept, didn’t you notice what happened to the last person who released figures that didn’t match the narrative that Donnie was echoing?
Forget it, going forward, during Trump’s reign, any reports on anything coming from his regime are most likely tainted, just like their Messiah, they lie, have to if they want to keep their jobs
Another leftist desperate to cling to its delusions.Just another MAGA that doesn't realize trump's tariffs haven't worked through the supply chain yet.
They can't see that unemployment is going up, the price of a car / truck going up over 5000 dollars each driving down sales and in turn auto workers are being laid off.
Supplies to make them are going up in price because of the tariffs, Farmers are crying now that the price of things they need to stay in business are going up and some of them may have to declare bankruptcy.
We will have to wait and see what happens it is still too soon to start crowing about the economy Trump's tariffs haven't hit yet.
I noticed what happened when phony numbers were exposed.Wait a minute, “the Commerce Dept,” Trump’s Commerce Dept, didn’t you notice what happened to the last person who released figures that didn’t match the narrative that Donnie was echoing?

Why don't you take a little time and read the news once in awhile?Another leftist desperate to cling to its delusions.
Not everyone has the intellect to go to college , but tomorrows workforce will need at least a community college degree for math and technologyThere is also a huge turn away from useless college degrees toward trade skills among the young. This in and of itself will go a long ways toward restoring the American dream and rebalancing the job market. Thank you for your tireless work Mike Rowe!
and hopefully a lot more young kids will go into skilled trades.Not everyone has the intellect to go to college , but tomorrows workforce will need at least a community college degree for math and technology
You are warning Democrats it's a mirage, dumber? You would deny if it smacked you up the side of the head.The 1st quarter GDP was poor because there were higher imports in anticipation of the tariffs. The 2nd quarter was the opposite. Huge dropoff in imports that inflated the GDP.
Nothing spectacular about it. Just a temporary mirage for your MAGAts.
Democrats don't think The Elite are the enemy. They figure they ARE the Elite.I’m glad there are people pursuing trades. We need them. But a typical MAGAt tactic these days is to target universities and advanced degrees. Because those “elites” are the enemy!
Step 1: Pronounce Doom and Gloom.Just another MAGA that doesn't realize trump's tariffs haven't worked through the supply chain yet.
They can't see that unemployment is going up, the price of a car / truck going up over 5000 dollars each driving down sales and in turn auto workers are being laid off.

We will have to wait and see what happens it is still too soon to start crowing about the economy Trump's tariffs haven't hit yet.
Step 3: Throw insults.Talking to yourself again in the mirror. YOU really have to stop doing that.
The HS my daughter attends provides that. College isn't just about intellect however.Not everyone has the intellect to go to college , but tomorrows workforce will need at least a community college degree for math and technology
Their smarmy ass' would not survive in a world without the rest of us.I’m glad there are people pursuing trades. We need them. But a typical MAGAt tactic these days is to target universities and advanced degrees. Because those “elites” are the enemy!
Your absence, as well as your arrogance, would not be missed one fucking bit.Their smarmy ass' would not survive in a world without the rest of us.
Until PHD holders couldn't change a light fixture or make their car start. Or want to build a house. Not that you have a PHD. You're the uniquely useless no skills and no education parasite.Your absence, as well as your arrogance, would not be missed one fucking bit.
My degree got me a pretty fucking successful career. And the benefits to society of my work will long outlast your fucking light fixture or car.Until PHD holders couldn't change a light fixture or make their car start. Or want to build a house.
