he brags about how the economy is doing about as good if not better than ever before.
but…
gdp growth estimates for q2 have fallen to 1.5% or lower
may job growth only 75k,well under the 180k forecast.
march and april numbers also sharply reduced.
2 of the last 4 months have seen growth under 100k
treasury yields have plunged as the fear of recession is growing.
Record growth cannot continue forever. It must slow. But is still beats the hell out of anything Obama was able to do. And we don’t really need any job growth right now. We already have 7 million unfilled jobs.
Record growth? Slower job growth than under Obama, stock market growing at slower rate than Obama, Trump’s best GDP quarter not as good as Obama’s, Trump’s best calendar year GDP not as good as Obama, Trump’s best year on year GDP growth not as good as Obama.
