Ok; so before that day comes, let us define what a recession is. Are we going with the original meaning, or the new modified specifically for trump meaning? I just want to nail down a definition now, so when the numbers come out; were not moving the goal posts again.

Recession is just a word
If we get 2 quarters with the economy shrinking… you can use that word
But if unemployment is low, no inflation and a booming stock market it is hard to say people are suffering
Let’s see where we are next quarter

OK, so were going with the "modified for republicans" definition.

How about this, let's just go with the original definition of recession? There are so many variables that can go into "people's suffering" that may be due to their own actions, and may not be related to the stock market, or inflation.

I was going to give Trump a break for his negative .3 percent.
But if you want to be a hard ass
We can call it a recession
Can I ask, what's wrong with a recession?Back to back bad news with job creation plummeting and GDP SHRINKING 0.3% vs a rise of 0.4% expected. Trump is wrecking America.
U.S. economy shrunk 0.3% in the first quarter as Trump policy uncertainty weighed on businesses
Terrible news for people who love America and want it to succeed. 62000 new jobs down from 147000 last month,
Private payroll growth slowed to 62,000 in April, well below expectations
The U.S. economy shrank in Q1 as tariff-related import surge trimmed gains: GDP report
The US economy contracted 0.3% in the first quarter as imports surged ahead of Trump's tariffswww.usatoday.com
They provide both challenges and benefits, why the obsession??

Words are defined and you don't get to redefine them because your TV tells you to.

Sure, I'm fine with that, as long as we call bidens a recession as well.
I'm willing to call a spade a spade, as long as we're not changing the definitions depending on what a spade is.

History repeats itself. The best predicter of future behavior is past behavior. The best predicter of the future is the past.
How many quarters to make America great again and what will it look like?
Well, history tells us that ten of eleven recessions began under a Republican administration.
Each recovery proceeded in the years after the recession.
The deeper the recession, the greater the recovery was.
The last big recession was in 2020 under Trump.
The recovery occured under Biden.
The recession preceding the last was 2008 under Bush .
The recovery occured under Obama.
The Great Depression was in under Herbert Hoover.
The recovery was under Roosevelt with the New Deal.
What else do we have?

FALSE: This crazy claim is exactly the opposite of the truth.
CORRECTION: ten of the last 11 recessions, were during DEMOCRAT administrations.
Obama -7
Trump - 1
