Summary
Donald Trump declined to rule out a U.S. recession in 2025, citing a “period of transition” due to his trade policies.
When asked if tariffs would fuel inflation, he acknowledged the possibility but pointed to lower interest rates.
Despite stock market volatility, he insisted “you have to do what’s right.” The Atlanta Federal Reserve warned of economic contraction, raising recession fears.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick dismissed concerns, predicting strong growth. Trump’s stance contrasts with his past claims that trade wars are “good and easy to win.”
There is one thing I can predict: if Trump’s policies tank our economy. He will blame everyone but himself.
Recessions are created to sell items to rich people with a discount
It’s not an if it’s a when.
No, it’s not a certainty that Trump’s policies will cause a recession. What if we get hit by a giant meteor before then, wiping out humanity before the tariffs have a chance to do any damage? Or if God finally decides He has had enough and exercises His Ultimate Recall Vote on Trump and his presidency tomorrow?
Damn Biden comet
So will his piece of shit voters so never let them squirm their way out of accountability for electing Nero
There are plenty of “leftists” on Lemmy who will say they aren’t to blame though
For real, I’m getting tired of seeing that bullshit
Biden, hunters laptop, DEI, Hilary, assorted transgender concerns.
Didn’t miss any other causes of the upcoming recession?
Edit: tan suits.
All pitched by the right as to why our country is off-course.
Don’t forget porn, video games, and not injecting bleach.
It’s Obama’s fault. He shouldn’t have had that Dijon mustard
That’s correlation not causation. We all know the root cause was the tan suit.
There’s an alternate universe where Obama has never owned a tan suit, Harambe is still alive, and President AOC is in office after President Sanders’ retirement…
That’s the universe where the Brooks Brothers Riot didn’t succeed and Al Gore became president.
