Piers Morgan on U.S. GDP: ‘Excellent Growth Numbers Will be Deemed a Fiasco’ by Trump’s Critics

(CNSNews.com) -- On Friday, British journalist and television presenter Piers Morgan tweeted [1] about the U.S. economy’s 4.1 percent GDP growth surge, pointing out that despite the good news, “today’s undeniably excellent growth numbers will be deemed a fiasco by [President Trump’s] critics.”

“There's no middle ground re Trump any more, no desire to be fair,” Morgan stated. “As with Brexit in UK, only extreme partisan positions are acceptable. Any attempt at impartiality must be abused/crushed.”

Hardball Panel Downplays Good News on the Economy, Predicts Recession
By Ryan Foley | July 28, 2018 2:54 PM EDT

As soon as the second quarter GDP growth rate of 4.1 percent became public, the media did their best to downplay the good news and refrain from giving President Trump and his policies credit for the strong economy, instead accusing him of using the news to “distract” from the Russia investigation. Not surprisingly, the dismissal of the President’s role in the good economy began before the report even came out.

During Thursday’s edition of Hardball With Chris Matthews, Vivian Salama of The Wall Street Journal brought up the upcoming GDP report, predicting that “it is going to be a good one,” but adding the caveat that “a lot of that is boosted by preemptive activity on tariffs, so let’s see what happens.” Host Chris Matthews jumped in, “How about a trillion dollar deficit? That helps too.” Tax-and-spend iberals suddenly caring about the deficit may actually be one positive aspect of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
