01) Trump’s Nonsense Reaction To The LARGEST GDP Drop In American History

“The U.S. economy just saw it’s largest-ever quarterly drop.

The US economy contracted at a 32.9% annual rate from April through June, its worst drop on record, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said Thursday.

A recession is commonly defined as two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product — the broadest measure of the economy. Between January and March, GDP declined by an annualized rate of 5%.
