From ‘He’s crashing the economy’ to ‘It’s a mirage’

Byron York, Washington Examiner

First of all, there’s no doubt that an annual GDP growth of 3.0% is a good report. But, just

as the first quarter figure was low because of tariff-related increased imports, so the second quarter figure was high because of tariff-related decreased imports. So you can mentally take a little off the top. And it is not a mirage. And it is not crashing the economy. Obviously, Democrats want to diminish President Trump’s accomplishments in any way they can. That includes talking down the economy. Democrats look less credible.
