What are your sources?

In 2023, it was 3.4% of U.S. GDP. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS?locations=US Around the same as the "real" NATO new target (3.5%).

The governments signed this treaty. There's no guarantee that the rebels and militias will respect it.

Who's making things up? Trump! Where are the 200 deals Trump claimed to have made more than one month ago? 🤣 “I’ve made 200 deals,” https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/

There's even a wiki page about it, it shows plenty of flags wich such stars, including Ukraine, Switzerland, Belarus.... 🤣 https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Flags_with_eight-pointed_stars

Obviously, you don't know anything about this conflict. The rebels and militias, which are the ones actually fighting, have not signed anything. They are negotiating with Qatar, not the U.S.....🙂

Great idea! 🤣

So when you were doing your constant Biden bashing for years, we should have done like you and replied "Biden won", like a broken record? 🙂

Why does the graph you picked stop in 2023. The 2024 figures are widely available, 2.9% as of December 2024. And food inflation was 2.5% (now 2.9%). Remember me who promised to bring down the price of groceries? 🤣

Baseless claim! 😆 I have shown it's not the case. Fact from reliable source. If you want to understand why it's not reliable: https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/misunderstood-measure-how-to-approach-gdpnow https://www.fisherinvestments.com/en-us/insights/market-commentary/gdpnow-still-looks-backward

My point is that the GDP Now model is not reliable, as its forecast for Q1 (-2.8%) was completely wrong (it's -0.5%). And it was not the first time it was wrong. And more sources confirm that GDP growth expected to be around 1.4% / 1.6% for the full year. Around half of average growth under Biden! One more forecast at 1.4% https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/economy/us-economic-forecast/united-states-outlook-analysis.html

Stop replying to what I did not claim. My claim was that the act could not be an inflation creating act. And I have proven it. Chronologically, it couldn't.

@illisdean You claimed that the act was an "inflation creating act." That was another of your usual ridiculous claim. Fact is that inflation did not increase after the act was implemented, it decreased. I have proven you wrong again!

So it was implemented after the peak. How could it be responsible for inflation increase as it was claimed, Mr. gaslighter and B.S. aficionado!

The GDP Now model is not reliable. For ex it forecasted -2.8% for Q1 2025! On April 1! Atlanta Fed’s GDP Growth Predictor Says Q1 Rate Was -2.8% https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2025/04/01/atlanta-feds-gdp-growth-predictor-says-q1-rate-was28/

Fake news meme!

More ridiculous B.S. from you. After the act was implemented, inflation decreased.

There is little doubt that China will dominate. The only question is "when"?

Energy prices down have nothing to do with Trump, and all to do with SA and OPEC deciding last year to increase production! 🤣 Meanwhile....more winning! 🤣 US economy shrank faster than expected, new data shows GDP contracted by 0.5 percent on an annualized basis, 0.3 percentage points lower than the last measurement from the Commerce Department. Economists were expecting the number to stay the same at a 0.2 percent contraction. Thursday’s downward revision reflected lower consumer spending, mostly in recreation and transportation. The Federal Reserve, along with other forecasters, has reduced its U.S. growth outlook for this year. The June projection was for growth of 1.4 percent for 2025, down from a 1.7 percent forecast made in March. The World Bank is also predicting 1.4 percent growth for the U.S. this year. https://thehill.com/business/5371005-us-gdp-revised-lower-consumer-spending/

Next target: a peace agreement between San Marino and Monaco! 🤣

And Khamenei stated exactly the opposite https://www.axios.com/2025/06/26/trump-khamenei-iran-us-strike It seems that they have adopted Trump's m.o. to say one thing and its opposite at the same time! 🤣

Well, the U.S. and Israel are asking Iran to hand over the nuclear material. So I guess they think it has not all been destroyed.... In an interview with Israel’s Channel 13, Israel Katz discussed the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities that took place over the weekend. “It was clear from the beginning that the strike would neutralize the surrounding infrastructure — it wouldn’t eliminate the (nuclear) material itself. Now there is a joint American-Israeli position saying to Iran, ‘You must hand over this material,’” Katz said in the interview, which aired Thursday."

Trump did what he did!

Deflect, deflect, deflect!

Broken record! Biden is not the President any more. Get over it! Now it's Trump's turn to be scrutinized!
