It’s bad and 100% caused by tariffs but a quirk in the way GDP is measured needs to be considered when interpreting this number- imports essentially as negative GDP, so when everyone scrambled to import everything before the tariffs went into effect it made GDP go really low. The idea is that when you sell the imported item that is counted as positive GDP so selling an imported item is basically GDP neutral, but a lot of this stuff hasn’t been sold yet. That said, it’s still a bad sign and still 100% caused by tariffs. It’s just not immediately what it looks like.
Time to eliminate whatever agency handles GDP data
Nah, this is nothing a sharpie can’t fix
At the very least we confirmed Taiwan was a country on this chart.

After this (IF there is an after), if I ever hear another “”“”“undecided”“”“” voter complain about the economy, I’m actually gonna lose my shit. Everyone saw this coming from 1 AU out, there was literally no reason to vote this asshole in.

The people on fucking alpha centauri saw this coming LMAO
Technically we’re all 1 AU out
The economy went in reverse…Just like the national IQ from having to listen to a moron all day.

That would assume he fixes things this term.
So you’re saying there’s a chance!
