'Uh, Yeah': Trump Says It's 'Ok' if He Causes a Recession

[Wiz Imp]

12. He's lying again. There is not a single person on Wall Street saying we're gonna have the greatest economy in history.

Not a single one. From The April 2025 Wall Street Journal Economic Forecast Survey:

As seen in the “Recession Probability” section, the average response as to whether the economy will be in a recession within the next 12 months was 45%. The individual estimates, of those who responded, ranged from 1% to 99%. For reference, the average response in January’s survey [the previously published survey] was 22%.

Notice not a single person in the survey was willing to bet there would definitely not be a recession this year.

Economic Forecasts
The current average forecasts among economists polled include the following:

GDP:
full-year 2025: .78%

full-year 2026: 1.83%

full-year 2027: 2.12%

Those are terrible forecasts.

In 2024, the U.S. economy saw a GDP growth rate of 2.8%, a slight decrease from the 2.9% growth in 2023.

The next 3 years forecast are way below actual GDP growth for the past 2 years and Trump claims that people are saying it will be the greatest economy in history? Beyond delusional. It's insanity. And it's a clear lie that there are Wall Street people who agree with trump.
