The consensus forecast is that the economy grew 4.2 percent in the second quarter, which would be a big jump from the 2 percent growth in the first quarter and nearly double the average annual pace of growth during the recovery. Some economists predict the rate of growth in gross domestic product could come in as high as 5 percent, a figure President Trump would probably herald as proof of his economic success in the face of his critics, although it is a quarterly growth rate, not an annual one.

“Somebody actually predicted today 5.3 [percent]. I don’t think that is going to happen,” Trump said in a speech in Illinois on Thursday. “If it has a 4 in front of it, we’re happy.”

Economists say the spike is coming mainly from a fluke: There was an unusually large increase in exports in the spring that probably came because other countries were trying to buy U.S. goods before Trump’s trade war escalated and tariffs kicked in. Soybeans exports, for example, surged 9,400 percent in the period from March to May over the prior year, Morgan Stanley said. China, a major buyer of U.S. soybeans, put hefty tariffs on the American crop this month in retaliation for Trump’s levies on numerous Chinese products.

This is “likely a reflection of stockpiling ahead of the implementation of trade tariffs,” Morgan Stanley economists wrote in a note to clients this week, and they warned that it’s likely that growth will revert to a much lower level in the second half of the year as foreign countries slow their purchases of U.S. goods.

Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice! reageer retweet

The Commerce Department released its initial estimate of second-quarter economic growth on Friday, providing the latest snapshot of the American economy.



• United States gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in the second quarter, up from 2.2 percent in the first three months of the year. It was the strongest quarter of growth since 2014.

• Consumer spending rose 4 percent, but private investment fell slightly as the housing market cooled.

• Exports rose 9.3 percent, driven in part by a surge in soybean shipments tied to President Trump’s trade policies.

• Consumer prices rose at a 1.8 percent annual rate.

Lawyers for former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort filed court papers Thursday asking a federal judge in Virginia to exclude more than 50 pieces of evidence the government has said it may introduce at trial related to Manafort's previous work in Ukraine. But the filing includes copies of all the exhibits Manafort doesn't want a jury to see.

The cache of documents largely includes emails and memos about campaign strategy and activities on behalf of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, Manafort's former client. It also includes photos of Yanukovych that special counsel Robert Mueller's office said were taken at Manafort's direction, draft political speeches, and memos about US–Ukraine relations.

Het doet me denken aan die ene maand (januari of februari 2017) waarin de staatsschuld omlaag ging. Gelijk werd het bejubeld als een resultaat van Trump, ook al had dat niets met beleid te maken en was 2017 een jaar vol schuldenplafond discussies omdat de staatsschuld nog steeds erg sterk steeg.

Nu krijg je hetzelfde wanneer het volgende kwartaal tegen gaat vallen, en dan begint het grote negeren weer net zoals de staatsschuld nu geen centraal politiek onderwerp is.
