  1. Trump slump back at it again.

    Why do people keep voting for Republicans who aren’t good at managing money (look at the deficit every time they get elected) nor are they great at creating jobs?

  2. So Trump is trying to Epstein the financial reports huh? must be some devastatingly bad news in them that pinpoints his exact involvements

  3. He’s canceling everything. Aids, Culture, Benefits, even reports. No growth anywhere because he is fixated on destruction and killing. This dude should be shoved out of the White House and into jail or some mental home

  4. This is the guy who asked to have Covid testing slowed down so that the case numbers looked better. And, [he flat out admitted it](https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/23/trump-joking-slowing-coronavirus-testing-335459).

    “When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people,” Trump said during the rally. “You’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please.’”

    Why anyone thinks this administration is doing anything but hiding bad numbers when they have a track record of hiding bad numbers is beyond my ability to comprehend.

  5. Yeah, because the US economy isn’t intensely scrutinized by economists all over the planet. 

    Smart.

    Genius! If you just don’t report the numbers, nobody would know! Why didn’t we think of that before?

    Should be grounds for impeachment and criminal charges, economy should literally be dropping to zero, but nothing matters anymore.

    Fake news!

    The numbers are like nobody has ever seen before. No president has ever had such incredible, and that’s including Reagan, nobody has done this before. 

    So, we can’t reveal them now because, quite frankly, people just are not ready. 

  9. One possibility is that they really think that if you don’t tell people there’s a recession, people will feel better about the economy. Since in the face of uncertainty, businesses are more likely to retrench than expand, and since your grocery bill doesn’t go through BEA, this seems like it might be too stupid a plan even for Trump’s cabinet for of jackals and sycophants.

    So my guess is that it’s Option 2 – this data will be made available. To selected favorite donors and friends of the administration, in exchange for suitable gifts and bribes. Because if there is anything this clown show does do, it is strive to monetize everything.

  10. But it’s totally because he’s doing such a good job, he just doesn’t want to show off, right? Or is it that the people making the reports are lying to make him look bad? The dumbass fantasies that Trump supporters make up are getting harder to follow.

  11. He’s not blocking bad economic reports to hide his failures. He’s blocking amazing economic reports because he knows we are all so tired of winning.

    /s

  12. So many classics like:

    * Stop the Count!
    * Stop the Testing!
    * Stop the Report!

    …more to come, no doubt.

    Someone please correct me if I’m wrong here, but

    Relevant [information ](https://www.upjohn.org/how-recessions-are-declared-explanation-mike-horrigan):

    >If you were fortunate enough to take an economics course in high school or college, you may have been taught that a recession happens when there are two successive quarters of declining real gross domestic product (GDP).

    Q2 25 was still being effected by Biden’s economy in April/May. Q3’s numbers were canceled due to the shutdown. Without October’s data, Q4 data is skewed and so it won’t be relevant to determining if theres a recession. We won’t know if we’re in a recession until Q2 2026’s numbers come out. That will happen at the end of July 2026.

    Trump has effectively “postponed” the imminent recession by simply refusing to allow the reports to be released.

  14. Assuming this is all part of the most transparent administration ever bit Leavitt keeps referring to.

  15. He’s trying to hide a fart in an elevator. We, the people know it’s bad but the little crybaby won’t even own it.
    I keep coming back to, ” if anyone else did this…”.

  16. “The dealmaker” driving the strongest economy on the planet straight into the ground and 6ft under. I’d say this shit cannot happen again, but at this point I’m not even sure we’ll get another chance after this one.

    Great job conservatives, you’ve made America insolvent, how great does that make us, again?
