And why do you suppose imports soared? Nothing to do with getting ahead of the tariffs?? What does that tell you about the tariffs?
It’s obvious why they soared they were front running the tariffs. So the propaganda BBC article you posted was disingenuous, wasn’t it?
Did you read the article?
I read enough. Like usual it didn’t tell the whole story. Which is why you posted it. And there you were thinking you had a win. You’ll never learn. You lap up any propaganda you can find. I wonder how many people it scared into selling their positions in stocks?

You have to stop listening to these left wing media outlets, it’s all propaganda and it’s all nonsense.

The following is a tweet from Charlie Kirk.

Feel free to verify CNBC.

The Democrats are out in force this morning claiming the sky is falling and a recession is imminent because GDP shrunk in Q1 by 0.3%. Wrong.

This was a one-off. 

CNBC: "Imports soared 41.3% for the quarter, driven by a 50.9% increase in goods. Imports subtract from GDP, so the contraction in growth may not be viewed as negatively given the potential for the trend to reverse in subsequent quarters."

Core GDP was UP 3%
Private investment surged 22%

He did make me laugh with his comment on how maybe American kids should only need 2 dolls and not 30. Don’t worry about the company that is selling 30 dolls and now only sells 2.
He's a fucking moron!

Did you see his interview with Terry "Never heard of You, but chose you" Moran and Trumpsters insistence that Abrego Garcia actually has MS13 tattooed on his knuckles and that it wasnt photoshopped. You literally could not find a more stupid man on this planet! But Nutsack wont hear anything negative about him...! 
 
 
Big win for Trump and Ukraine. The mineral deal was just signed.

I think anyone pretending Garcia isn't MS13 is far more moronic. Wanting to make him a martyr and pin up boy for the Democrats is even more insane than Starmer welcoming clarity on what a man and a women are.

Let’s see the details of his revised trade agreements. Personally I hope we shift away from China and into India. We’ll see.
Your buddy Ray Dalio wasn’t very complimentary about the tariffs and what they will trigger.
Out of interest what’s it gonna take for you to admit Trump was right?
The numbers will tell that story without question. Balance of trade (especially with China), inflation, jobs & manufacturing/production in some key industries.

US has gone from 2.7 to 1.6%
UK from 1.6 to 1.1%
Canada from 2 to 1.4%

Elsewhere, Trump had a hissy fit because the FED wouldn’t cut interest rates.



 
That;'s because the Tarffis will cause inflation in the US. Assumimg the UIS suppliers pass on the tariff costs to the consumer. The question is will the public buy american or more to the point has for example the US motor industry have the capacity to fill the gap in orders? If not these things take time and in the short term the markets re being killed. Tariffs don't work and Trump could put the world into recession. 
WOW thanks for the insight.

In other news, water is wet.
