There is no source. That poster made it up. Pulled the number out of her right butt-cheek.

You could actually google it and see where the numbers are derived from. There are, you know private sector companies and related trade organizations that track these things and have for decades.

Nope. Source or you lie

So even with these gains, we have a net loss?

The left is bad at math. That's a 9 trillion 988 billion gain.

The right is bad at critical thinking. Which is on display every single day i. This admin. Sorry boys most of those “new” investments aren’t new at all.

Trump tariffs have little impact on prices so far, defying grim forecasts
Inflation climbed at the slowest pace since early 2021 in April, surprising economists who anticipated tariff-related increases.

All these projections are literally made up.

1) inflation did ok in April because of energy and food prices are down. Economists usually look at core inflation which excludes those volatile prices. Core inflation was up in April.

2) most market watchers expect inflation to be up in May as the impacts of tariffs kick in. Stores still relying on goods imported before tariffs.

3) bare shelves won’t hit all
Products. Things like TP etc is made in America. It will impact things like school supplies, clothing, toys, repair parts etc.

“The U.S. travel and tourism sector is the biggest sector globally compared to any other country, worth almost $2.6 trillion,” she says, citing WTTC and Oxford Economics data. According to Simpson’s data, direct and indirect tourism represents nine per cent of the American economy.”

“The [lost revenue ] represent a decline of around seven per cent in visitor spending year-over-year, and a decline of 22 per cent since tourism reached its peak in the U.S. in 2019.”

Apparently it is projected that tourism won’t recover to prepandemic levels until 2030.

Apparently a lot less foreign travellers want what the USA offers now, and Americans just don’t spend enough to make up the difference. Maybe it makes sense to be nice to foreigners if 20 million jobs depend on tourism.

That is not a real newspaper.

Then use these sources that go back to March

OP’s thread is a dupe. Lock it down.

I have to say the amount of whataboutism you guys do in order to avoid the issue at hand is impressive. It *really* is a cult. Or you are a troll. Magas seem incapable of saying anything negative about the Trump administration. You are really trying to spin this as anything but a huge loss of $$$?
