"Yesterday I shared the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow estimate of 1st quarter GDP falling almost 6 points in the last two months due to Trump’s reckless economic policies. Well shortly after publishing yesterday the estimate was updated, and it dropped another full point. This important measure that US financial markets pay close attention to has now dropped almost 7 points under Trump!"

#Inflation fears drove much of the downturn. Respondents expect inflation a year from now to run at a 5% rate, up 0.1 percentage point from the mid-month reading & a 0.7 percentage point acceleration from February. 🚨🚨At the 5-year horizon, the outlook now is for 4.1%, the first time the survey has had a reading above 4% since February 1993.🚨🚨

AP News · Wall Street tumbles, and S&P 500 drops 2% on worries about slower economy and higher inflationBy Stan Choe

Les directives débridées de Donald Trump pourraient bien ruiner l'économie américaine. Il risque de perdre son soutien politique - brièvement.

Souvenons, dans le « 1984 » de George Orwell, l'Océanie est en ruine économique, aussi bien qu'en état de guerre perpétuelle avec des ennemis et des alliés incertains et mutables.

Dans une telle épopée, la ruine économique est un atout, pas une faute.

Federal officials are preparing for agencies to🚨CUT b/w 8 & 50% of their EMPLOYEES in the FIRST PHASE of a Trump admin push to shrink the fed govt.

1st round cuts:

— 30% Commerce
— 43% SBA
— 33% IRS
— 25% Interior
— 50% HUD
— 28% NSF

2nd round CUTS would be BIGGER.

If Trump isn't stopped, there will be a deep #recession. He'll DECIMATE the #economy,🚨100s of thousands of people will be w/o jobs +it’ll reverberate across the country.
