So how can you even remotely try and say Trump is inflating these numbers?


He isn't. Hes just angry as hell inside that his 2.1 projection just got crushed

He wants Trump to fail so bad but is in full denial about it. Dudes made up 70 of the posts in this thread

Why are you posting on the Political talk. If you are serious about the mechanics of the economy you can just step on over to the money board

Strong number but there is some stuff in there that suggests a bit of a slowdown

The ROOs for auto/steel/aluminum, I think as I haven't read it in great detail, will definitely make it more difficult for Canada and Mexico to export those items to the US. This should serve to boost those industries. This also leads me to think they may be concerned about the future state of those industries. I don't recall the percentage of each good, but Canada and Mexico are two of our larger (Canada used to be the largest in terms of total trade) partners--particularly in those goods.

Great number. Especially with the expectation that previous first quarters have been trending as the lowest quarter for the year for some time now.

And they think there's a chance that Biden from the 1% GDP Obama Administration is going to beat him


Trump should nickname him "1% Biden"

yeah that was in the summary, a slight gain to producers in that industry, with a slight loss to consumers, making a very slight net loss overall

This report is insane even if your story is inventory build and inflation. Hopefully there's no downward revisions. The Powell put send to be working. Remember how devestating that government shutdown was?? Lol

1st quarter GDP: 3.2%

possibly a link
When someone posts an obscure unattributed quote here, as sometimes occurs, I can understand the "Link?" response. OTOH when the post concerns something as easily verifiable as a quarterly GDP report, the "Link?" response is just bizarre.

Is it that damn difficult to either simply accept the fact, or God forbid, to search for yourself?

But as your cockles are apparently rustled, let me just add that many financial analysts were not expecting seeds of the Trump economic efforts to really root until next quarter.

This was a very surprising result. An economic beat of this magnitude in the face of international stagnance is something we should all celebrate.

the "cloud" in this case would be the only primary item that was generated by this administration though, and that's certainly fair game

most of what i've seen has anticipated the last year's stimulus as winding down through 2q

ignoring the shitload of information that is packed into the GDP figure and explained in the releases or summarized in articles, your own explanation of what things are linkworthy certainly implies that your assertion about what "many financial analysts" were supposedly expecting about the seeds of trump's effort taking root or whatever should certainly fit the bill

especially since it really sounds like you made it up

i'd be willing to provide some an explanation of that expectation in addition to some links when you are
