    The quarter that was always set up to be good is good.

    yuge

    The first half of the year has now been upgraded to mediocre.

    How many quarters are you going to repeat this bullshit?

    We're talking about the exact same second quarter I told you was going to look good months ago, Grandpa. I notice you don't want to mention that GDP shrank in the first quarter.

    Third quarter GDP might stay above 2%, if affluent Americans keep spending and businesses at least retain their workforces. I wouldn't bet on it though. Non-affluent Americans have basically cut spending, and no significant amount of new hiring is happening.

    For the entire year, we'll be fortunate if GDP growth was 1.7% or better.

    We're in a two-speed economy. The haves are propping it up, for now. Most people are tightening their belts.

    I don't need to mention the first quarter because America Last was all over it. That was the awesome Biden economy you girls pine for

    What set up the 2nd quarter was Trump

    You're welcome

    As Gasbag pointed out at the time, the negative number was due to anticipating Daddy's tariff policy. So is the positive number you're crowing about today. The mediocre net result is all on Daddy.

    Now reality sets in and we'll get that vaunted 19th Century prosperity. Congrats to us.

    Yes of course. The best quarter since early 2023 is Trump's fault. That's what I said

    And Rick only won with Lambo players

    Things retards believe

    Too bad Biden didn't do that miracle economy for himself. Such a selfless sock puppet

    But just you wait things will get bad despite every indicator including tariff policy trending up

    Maybe stick to defending tranny kid killers

    I know you hate data, Madam. But the import/export numbers aren't a state secret; even if Daddy fires the scorekeepers, the numbers remain. Now Daddy has imposed the equivalent of a national sales tax on hard working Americans who will pay higher prices for things in a slowing economy with fewer job prospects. But the affluent are still affluent.

    This is the 19th Century you voted for. Just sit back and enjoy it.

    It's probably fake numbers! Trump fires people who give him unfavorable numbers.

    it wasn't news to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention

    we're well into the 3d quarter and the slowdown is evident
