Except those who don’t. Have we got to day one yet? Lines rehearsed before the speech. If the speech was fact filled why did trump give it?

Wow. Every economist, eh? I challenge them to name just one who isn't on their payroll.

These economists certainly don't agree "we will be rich beyond our wildest dreams"

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-tariffs-effects-economy-recession-expert-predictions.html

What Economic Experts Are Predicting About Trump’s Tariffs

Goldman Sachs says there is now a 35 percent chance of recession (up from 20% previously)

S&P Global forecasts growth slowdown (“The risks to our baseline are firmly on the downside)

CNBC survey of economists indicates economic growth has hit a new post-COVID low (A CNBC survey that averages forecasts from more than a dozen economists indicates that “policy uncertainty and sweeping new tariffs from the Trump administration are combining to create a stagflationary outlook for the U.S. economy”)

J.P. Morgan has lowered its GDP estimate too ( The firm is now predicting 1.6 percent GDP growth for the year, which is a 0.3 percent decrease from its past estimates)

Mark Zandi at Moody’s Analytics says Trump is providing “fodder for an economic downturn” (raising his odds for a recession to 40 percent from 15 percent at the beginning of 2025)

Yale’s Budget Lab says auto tariffs will raise new-car prices by an average of $6,400

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives says tariffs “would send the auto industry into pure chaos”

Trump-honored economist Arthur Laffer says auto tariffs could do “irreparable damage” if the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement is abandoned
