truth is Trump entered office and is and has faced some serious issues...handed to him...he has to have the ability to step back though...I do not agree that its ok if there is a short term recession...I await...look, it is difficult. truth is we have allowed manufacturing to be moved off shore and this hurt USA and I dont mean AI jobs, I mean real manufacturing...I want real jobs to come back, real companies. hard working bread and butter Americans...thing is I hope and pray he succeeds, I am cheerleading him...I am for if he succeeds we all do...world is better off...but we must stand up and question and demand reassessment if mistakes are made or impacting us

Dr. A -- never forget that the numbers they put up are ALWAYS distorted. I follow these things on a daily basis and they NEVER put up truthful numbers - NEVER!

They publish whatever numbers support the narrative and/or will justify the action that they wish to take. I kid you not, they do this *every time* for every category. They stopped reporting actual, factual numbers sometime in the 1980's. Now it's just fabrications for deception.

GDP, employment, inflation, US debt, trade deficits, ... on and on and on - you name it, it's DISTORTED!

So, "are we entering a recession?" I'm quite sure that we've already been in a recession for some time.

As for the tariffs, back in the 19th and early 20th century they made economic sense. Today? NO!! These tariffs are going to crush what remains of the US economy, thereby inflicting much harm on 'we the people'. It won't take much time for us to see this (by this year, for sure).
