Trump says economic growth ‘shatters expectations’. Data says otherwise

I mean. It did. Just not in a positive direction. I was expecting their economic and fiscal policies to have catastrophic implications, but even I’m impressed by how jaw-droppingly idiotic they’re being, and how quickly everything is starting to come unraveled.

This guy rapes children.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

George Orwell, 1984

Trump is a lying sack of shit.

Clearly, he's talking about the expectations he had for himself vs going to jail. I'm just as surprised.

Love to say it, even hard core republicans I know are regretting voting for the orange clown. Just yesterday one of them told me that. Trump’s reality distortion field is starting to fail.

Usually I dismiss thilese anecdotes but I am experiencing it too. Our company had a meeting with all of the field techs/machinists to explain how the "no tax on overtime" really works and I'll tell you what, it's not exactly "no tax on overtime". Considering we basically run on overtime that rug pull may have been the last straw for a few of the red hats I know.
- Hitting them in the selfishness is the only thing they understand.

Distraction.
He's a rapist, and on the Epstein list.

Are we going to talk about his dementia?

I expect all his policy to be shit. So when it's always shit I'm never surprised. Because he is a grifting carpetbagging sack of flaming shit. A tragic waste of functioning organs. The world's most notorious oxygen thief. Also he is a fucking moron. If there was a photo negative of Mensa where stupid motherfuckers competed to see who the dumbest motherfucker of all the dumb motherfuckers was, he'd be it's lifetime appointed leader.

Funny you should bring up Mensa.... Not the brightest people, more like a bizarre cult. He would fit right in.
- He'd love it. A bunch of dorks circlejerking about IQ numbers?!
  Hog Heaven for a narcissist.

Well, if he expected a total Crash and instead got only mild recession, it still "shatters expectations"

No shit, where's the unredacted list?

He truly is the dumbest fuck of all dumbfucks to have ever walked the earth.

Well, data is fired.

Where’s the fucking names Donald?

Trump looks terrible. Good.

I am pretty sure he means his own.

economic^s g█o█t█ 'shat███████on█'

I mean, I'm surprised our economy hasn't crumbled, so it's not technically untrue

It's being stretched like a rubber band. When it snaps, it will be spectacular.
Enough of us still have morals. Dwindling, but enough.
Give it time.

It definitely shattered my expectations, and they were low to begin with

Yeah this isn't his best boast. After we saw the stock market tanking insanely I was shocked to see it resemble normal growth for a time. Wrecking the economy with moronic tariffs and then restoring it briefly by backing off isn't something you can brag about
- He hasnt even gotten to the truly moronic part of instituting actual tariffs yet. All the tanking that occurred previously was due to the threat of tariffs. Imagine how fucked the market and economy would be if every tariff he threatened actually came to fruition
- Yeah but if you can time the dips and rises, you can make shitton of money, which is exactly what his cronies are doing. Everytime fatass announces a tariff, the market reacts, and then soars when he backs off. It's pure market manipulation.

Trump says [...] Data says otherwise.

Sums up his whole life, no?

I’ve never seen someone fail so successfully.

Data shows that the Epstein list still hasn’t been released.

Fake it til you make it, amiright?

We need a new term for this level of willful ignorance.

We need a new term for this level of willful ignorance.
Here are a few: "Unfitness for office." "Criminal incompetence." "Deliberate economic sabotage." "Dictatorship of the scum of the earth." "Kakistocracy."
You can negatively "shatter expectations"
- Trump fell into his current position of power simply because of his ability to effortlessly frame the fall of the US Empire as putting America first. While in reality, it's all just a distraction to cover for billionaires hoarding more and more wealth while the rest of us continue to struggle more and more.
- We usually use the word “disappointing” but a competent writer can put a positive spin on anything.

Well, yeah. Anyone who had expectations is now feeling shattered.

It did shatter expectations. It’s supposed to be good, but it’s crap.

I mean, who do you believe the most, Trump or data? Don’t let me know.

Well, the way economic growth was stunted by Trumps failures probably shattered his inflated expectations.
