No matter what happens in President Donald Trump’s economy, you can bet your bottom dollar that The New York Times hacks will find some way to splatter it with bad news, even when it's easily demonstrated these partisans offered a very different spin under Declinin' Biden. The latest news on the banger Q2 GDP numbers was no exception.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released a report July 30 finding that GDP increased a solid three percent in the second quarter, dwarfing expectations of a 2.3 percent increase by Dow Jones economists.
CNBC summarized that the figures reflected “strength across key areas of the economy, as well as evidence that inflation is ebbing though not eradicated.” And that’s despite all the media bellyaching over how Trump’s tariffs were supposedly setting the U.S. on a collision course with a proverbial glacier.
But Bidenomics toady and Times chief economic correspondent Ben Casselman twisted the entire story into a pretzel to still make it look like a net negative for Trump. This was the absurd headline deck to describe 3 percent growth:
