Fourth-quarter U.S. GDP up just 1.4%, badly missing estimate; inflation firms at 3%

3. Bloomberg TV just pointed out that before this data was released, trump was posting on his truth social that

said the GDP will be much lower because of the Democrats and the shut down, asking the question, did the trump see the data before it was released, and release information before it was official, which is completely against protocol.

From the Bloomberg TV news scroll:

"Trump bemoans shutdown impact on GDP before fourth quarter read.
President Donald Trump said that last year's government shutdown cost the US at least two points in GDP, in a social media post less than an hour before the government was expected to release the first estimat of the fourth-quarter change in inflation-adjusted gross domestic product."

Bloomberg also pointed out that there was no way the government shutdown lost 2% GDP because of that shut down.

This nazi POS in the white house needs to be held accountable for what he is doing, and the only way that has a chance to happen is if the Democrats take back the House, and I don't want to hear any third party bullshit how there is no difference between the republicans and the Democrats.

It won't be easy either, because the I think it is quite likely that president chaos is going to militarily attack Iran, and if that happens everything will be uncertain.
