Is there evidence that Putin is actively incentivizing Trump? He could promise earthly wealth beyond the average person’s ability to really conceptualize.
What if this dramatic alignment with Moscow and away from NATO is only pretending to be in our interest?
Trump invents economic data. He invents everything. Some people call it lying. Some people call it spin. Others call it manipulation or propaganda.
They are all correct. Nothing that comes out of his mouth is accurate.
Just like not reporting Covid deaths made his numbers look good!
People:
Trump was convicted 34 counts of felony business fraud! He is going to play around to make his numbers look like he is doing something he is not!
Trump keeps using wrong numbers to describe our trade between US and Canada.
Nothing will stop him from what he is about to do to us. However I just saw a poll on the news that said #1 concern of Americans is the economy. Good luck with that while he drives up prices.
Go ahead, doofuses, I am sure no economist has modeled US GDP without federal government instability. I'm equally sure that data would be welcome to review in a public forum. (I'm not the economist, just someone using common sense.)
Trump and his minions will do the country what he did with his appraisals of his properties, inflate values/numbers when it suits him and lower numbers when it doesn't.
This is the beginning of a long series of economic report disinformation efforts to conceal the inevitable recession that the U.S. is entering. Not only will it not work, but it will destroy credibility of this administration. This is not reality TV where “reality” is created by editing.
This is state sanctioned disinformation and FRAUD
You don't like the math says Trump
Just fuck it up then
This is what happens when the GOP are in power.
It's a money grab

I don't know how they are going to make spending from the largest employer in the United States disappear from the GDP print without producing a bizarre number. I expect them to mess with the unemployment numbers but GDP?
Trump gaming the system as usual. Unfortunately you can't sell us treasury bonds to the world when you obscure our finances the way that Trump does with all his businesses and tax returns. )
And will they "adjust" the employment report too? And the CPI, to exclude things that have risen over the last month? And sue independent bodies that publish the truth?
So, traditionally, government spending is included in GDP calculations. Places like the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank are revising Q1 2025 GDP estimates at -1.5%. This administration doesn't like the optics of a mor than 3 point swing to the worse, so they change the calculation.
Really what he is saying is I’m going to lie to the public and distort information and statistics and deceive people.
Thanks for the heads up. Once again can’t trust trump or his “malign minions.”
Revolution is required in the USA. Protests called "Paid Actors" should be organized! Overwhelm MAGA through numbers. United, we stand! Embrace one's who were MAGA and now see they made a mistake supporting it!
From Canadians:
It is time you speak loudly to your military. The military involvement is complicated and they NEED to know the people en masse support their involvement. They will not act until the people demand it. It needs to be loud and public so they can not be accused of a military coup.
Of course they will lie about the numbers. That's what liars, cheats, & thieves do. But even a dumb-ass Trump supporter knows when their costs are going up.

How would we know?

Comrade Lutnik has much to learn if he’s going to be working for Mar-a-Lag Oblast.

Not that it will matter. When stagflation hits, the administration is going to want data to try and stave off a disaster in the midterms.

How is Wall Street ok with this BS? Manipulating numbers should be a double edge sword, no?

Credit ratings, banks, foreign purchasers of debt are thinking, " why not transparency, what are you hiding"

We just have to remember not to believe a blessed thing coming out of this administration…
They're eating the cats!
No - they're cooking the books!
Nothing that comes out of this regime is to be believed.
Inflation numbers, GDP, unemployment, all of it will be manipulated to make the regime look good.
