Friday’s figure from the Bureau of Economic Analysis was revised down sharply from the 1.4 per cent initial estimate released last month and is well below the previous quarter’s 4.4 per cent growth rate.

The revision suggests the world’s biggest economy ended 2025 in far weaker shape than economists had previously thought amid growing questions over the resilience of consumer spending and business investment."

Unemployment is up, inflation is up, oil prices are up, gdp is down and he's just started a war to distract from the pedophile ring he's protecting.

A looming recession is the least concerning thing going on in the US right now.

There is always the z1.gov release on the 19th to spice things up with data on US government debt updated for 2025.

What that stupid, stupid, stupid WTB doesn’t get: we real Americans would probably benefit more from this than from higher economic growth under, say, a Joe Biden.
Because if we kick out all the illegal immigrants now, our economic gains will be spread out among far fewer people. So each individual will get a much bigger share than before!

Of course, to understand that, you need to know a little math, and wtb probably never learned math at his woke school.

In 1990, the United States accounted for roughly 26 percent of global gross domestic product. More than three decades later, and after repeated predictions of China’s inevitable overtaking, the US share remains virtually unchanged at about 25.9 percent, assuming Beijing’s own growth figures are accurate. That consistency matters because the global economy is far larger today than it was at the end of the Cold War, with US output alone reaching an estimated $30.62 trillion in 2025.

The contrast with America’s closest allies is stark. When the Cold War ended, Britain, France, Italy, Japan and Canada together represented around 32 percent of global GDP. Today, that combined share has fallen to below 14 percent. This relative contraction reflects weaker productivity growth, demographic pressure and prolonged underinvestment, particularly in Europe and Japan.

Failing some sort of corona-level spending spree, canada will definitely enter a recession this year

You are measuring in USD habebe. Your trade deficit and government debt growth suggests the value of the dollar will be going down, slowly or quickly, to about half the value it has today.

The gdp calculation without currency value impact puts the US share of the global economy at 14%.
