Trump now says his polices may cause a recession

[Cypress]

Trump Says a Recession Might Be Worth the Cost. Economists Disagree.​

Presidents usually do all they can to avoid recessions, so much so that they avoid even saying the word.

But President Trump and his advisers in recent weeks have offered a very different message. Yes, a recession is possible, they have said. Maybe one wouldn’t even be that bad.

Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, has said Mr. Trump’s policies are “worth it” even if they cause a recession. Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary, has said the economy may need a “detox period” after becoming dependent on government spending. And Mr. Trump has said there will be a “period of transition” as his policies take effect.

President Trump and his advisers say his policies may cause short-term pain but will produce big gains over time. Many economists are skeptical of those arguments.

I wish he would have told the voters that.

Of course they will. You'd think that a "business major" would understand this. You'd be wrong.

Meanwhile, despite the dire predictions of JPP's Reichwing Nostradumbasses, there was no recession during Biden's tenure.

You've tried to push this same narrative three or four times. The solution, sell your computer and buy gold.

Remember them screaming about how Biden would cause a recession?

MAGA morons never cared about the economy. They just love that Trump is a troll who 'sticks it to the libs'

 

[鬼百合]

They don't care.

There hasn't been a recession caused during a Democratic presidency in half a century.

Oh look, Cypress is lying again.

Must be a day ending in "Y"


Standard Disclaimer: You must be devastated - The DOW recovered virtually all ground for the year as of yesterday. You lust for economic failure went up in smoke...

 

[Cypress]

Oh look, Cypress is lying again.

It is Trump himself and his own Commerce secretary saying we may have to go into a 'detox period' and we might have to feel some economic pain. I didn't say it.

 

[ULTRA MAGA]

Another half baked propaganda thread brought to you by the mentally ill and desperate left.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Yet you said that trump said his policies would cause a recession.

That is NOT what he said - you lied.

You lied because you won't accept the results of a free and fair election.

^^^ Thanks for tacitly admitting the Trump administration literally said their policies may cause economic pain and a 'detox period'.

That's not what they said would happen when they campaigned last Fall.

Thanks for admitting the Trump administration is preparing America for a possible economic downturn because of their policies

"Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick insisted Trump’s tariff policies will be “worth it” even if they lead to a recession."

That was not the lie you posted as a thread title.

You must be weeping and gnashing teeth. The DOW is higher than the day Trump took office...

The misery you want to inflict on America for voting against your party isn't going to happen...

So you claim the language the Trump administration is using is not preparing Americans for an economic downturn resulting from their policies

I'm saying the thread title is a lie.

You lied - as is your habit.

Absolutely. One of them, H10, even gave a fairly specific date. Fools.

 

[BartenderElite]

Trump is a poor economic President, who has a poor economic track record.

 

[Walt]

The DOW is higher than the day Trump took office...

You are wrong. The day trump took office, the Dow was 43.487.83. It did not change all that day, due to it being a NYSE holiday. It is currently 41,953.32. That is lower than when trump took office.

The last time it was higher than when trump took office was March 3rd, two and a half weeks ago.
