The only economic formula that actually works. It’s too bad it was ignored by the post-covid economists that taught it to us.

First what is GDP? It adds spending up in the following formula

C + I + G + (X - M) = Y

where
C = consumption
I = investment
G = government
X = exports
M = imports
Y = GDP

Because imports surged in January, tracking for M explodes higher...mechanically lowering Y.
