Trump claims "Historic Growth in Q2." Ranks 5th after the top 5 Obama Quarters

[Amused]

The "Strongest ever" "historic" 4.1% growth in the 2nd quarter of 2018 Trump is bragging about would rank as 5th strongest quarter of Obama's presidency.
--5.1% Q2 2014
--4.9% Q3 2014
--4.7% Q4 2011
--4.5% Q4 2009
Don't be fooled by bullshit propaganda.

I guess it's only historic if the white guy does it, amrite?

 

[sandorski]

Of course it's BS, it came from Trumps' mouth.

I can see talk radio types like Limbaugh and Carr stocking up on Preparation H already. I predict the Fox and Friends brain donors giving us some comedic gold over this too.

One more nail in the coffin of Dump's fantasies. Bookmarked for November.

 

[Moonbeam]

He probably means historic for an inept clown. Trump is the best President ever because he wasn't in office 5 months when I won 10 dollars in the lottery. I will write to him about it to him so he will have more to brag about that is intimately related to his skill set.

That 4.1% growth came from a bump in the soybean and corn exports as the
exporters rushed to beat the sanctions date.
The growth would have been 3.6% instead of 4.1.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinas-tariffs-soybeans-fueled-us-gdp-bump-225326578.html

"In the second quarter, the U.S. recorded an 80% annualized jump in food, feed and beverage exports, mainly from soybeans and corn. Without that surge, exports would have increased 5.3% instead of 9.3%, which means the GDP growth would have been around 3.6%, according to Paul Ashworth, the chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics."


cheeto is an effing moron.

Remember to vote in November.

jr should quit posting on twitter. He's basically telling everyone "I don't know how to read or comprehend anything".
Matter of fact, he probably needs to stop talking.

 

[senseamp]

A lot of it is front loaded exports to get goods out before tariffs.

How come the media isn't bringing this up about Obama numbers? And the press isn't bringing up the "errors" in what trump is saying?

Liberal main stream media is slacking

Funny....just had a neighbor stop me on the street and tell me that it's been 20 years since the GDP had been this high. Said Obama never got above 1%. Of course, he's a big Cheeto supporter, only watches Fox news, is the president of some sort of Kentucky alien organization (as in outer space), believes jet trails are the US government spraying chemicals, has been abducted by aliens three times......etc. (Yes, I'm serious)..

That's called winning.

No surprise at all - impervious to facts makes him the perfect Trump backer.

As always, lacking contest.

What is funny (more funny?) is how many people claimed 3% was never going to happen.

If you are going to try and call someone out, call the other side out for the same thing. Although, based on your incredible bias and agenda of the past, that will not happen.

You don’t understand what you’re linking and whoever made that collage is incredibly dishonest. They said SUSTAINED 3% growth was not going to happen, not that no one quarter would exceed 3%. They also happen to be right.

This last quarter saw absolutely massive fiscal stimulus combined with frontloaded purchases due to a possible trade war. On no planet does that indicate that sustained 3% growth is likely going forward.

Whoever made the image you linked is an idiot or a liar. This is the problem with conservative media, they are actively attempting to deceive people at all times.

It's also nice how he comes in to duhvert, with no comment on the obvious lies.

The image is from hardforum. Last I checked, there were lots of idiots over there.

Will the racist akmed respond to this?

I’ve never thought of him as a racist and as far as conservatives here go I find him to be one of the more open minded. I don’t agree with him but I’ve seen no reason to think he’s a racist.

He's devolved to little more than a propaganda parrot these days. Not the only one either.

 

[dphantom]

4% is good but whether it is sustainable or not is open. Obama never really had a sustainable growth rate above 2.6% tho there were several quarters of good to very good growth. Bush 2 was even worse. But 1 quarter makes not a year or more. We'll see.

Now see how stupid you are? You're being duped. Every one of those articles is talking about YEARLY SUSTAINED GROWTH AVERAGE. Not quarterly. The Trumps are using a mediocre QUARTERLY growth rate and comparing it to these articles that are plainly stating yearly sustained average and you fell for it. Like a fucking dupe.

Yes there are and Kyle loves to ban those who don't agree with him.
