GDP growth for the first 3 months of the Trump Administration is a staggering, incredible -.3%.
The Golden Age of America has arrived!
America and Americans congratulations! We have managed to turn an economy that had 2.8% GDP growth in 2024, negative. To add insult to injury, this is, drum roll please…… before the effects of tariffs come in at all! Our President has managed to, all by himself and his mere aura before any of his policies except his illegal executive orders went into effect, drag the economy into the negative! Don't you just feel liberated?!? Don’t you just feel golden? 3 months down, 45 to go. It’s the type of reality that makes you want to just want to cry, the American economy is negative. Who could have predicted this? Oh right everyone.
16 Nobel Prize winning economists told us this would happen . Economists again said that Trump's tariffs which have not even truly come into effect yet would drag the economy down . The Economist, the newspaper that exists just to talk about the economy two months ago warned us this would happen . The Economists that were used in Trump's own tariff calculation told us that they were using his data wrong and still the Administration steams forward at the same pace. Trump has even said that a Recession the very thing he said Kamala Harris would bring, would be good for the economy. The President of the United States is economically illiterate, a serial liar, a tax cheat, a fraudster, and is attempting to drag the United states down into the gutter with him. His fake university wasn’t enough, his bankrupt casinos weren't enough, his mismanagement of Covid wasn’t enough, now he wants to end the American economic century that has reigned supreme since WW2.
But you want to know the worst part? 1 he’s just getting started, 2 he has cut every single US aid program that this country has, and 3 federal spending has gone up! A 10% increase in federal spending, 315 Billion dollars more, for less social programs, for less US aid to the world, and for a worse economy. We are now not only at risk of stagflation, but we have abandoned the world stage. Donald Trump intends to make the United States poorer, less respected, and worse all because it will give him the power he craves.
If he succeeds then Democracy may die in the process, the United States may die in the process, and our children will have a future so demonstrably worse than ours that they may never recover. For the sake of our children, for the sake of our future we must stop this madman.
Please tell your Members of Congress to support humanitarian aid. You can find their name and phone number here.
The U.S. foreign aid freeze has forced many frontline organizations to halt operations, impacting millions globally. Without HIV/AIDS treatment provided by the US, 6 million people could die over the next four years. Unlock Aid is raising an emergency fund with no overhead to help sustainable organizations resume their work. Please consider donating .
