Trump fuels recession fears by hiding another finance report

Recession fears grow as Trump hides another economic report

Donald Trump’s government has stoked fears that the US is in dire straits by cancelling yet another financial report.

At the same time, Trump continues to make the following claim, which he’s been saying for most of this year:

Boom or bust

The latest cancelled report is the advance estimate on gross domestic product (GDP) for 2025’s third quarter, which was produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Trump regime had already delayed the release, blaming the shutdown for ‘impairing’ the data. Now, they’ve cancelled the report entirely, and are suggesting the “federal statistical system” may be “permanently damaged”.

In other words, it looks a lot like they’re excusing themselves from ever releasing economic data again.

Reassuring?

Not to anyone paying attention:

Nothing says “booming economy” like… canceling the GDP report. If it were good, they wouldn’t hide it.

FUN FACT: This is the first time in HISTORY that both the Jobs Report and GDP Report have been canceled at the same time.

This trump economy is a BUST. https://t.co/BpydhPbs0f

As the New Republic reported:

The Trump administration’s decision to get stingy with publishing economic data comes amid concerns that President Donald Trump’s policies aren’t all that good for the economy. Trump’s mass deportation scheme is estimated to reduce the GDP by between 4.2 to 6.8 percent, according to the American Immigration Council. Trump’s sweeping reciprocal tariffs are also expected to place a strain on GDP, according to the Tax Foundation.

The other cancelled reports include the Labor Department’s monthly jobs report for October and the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation report. Previous job reports have proven embarrassing for the second Trump regime:

After weeks of keeping us in the dark, Trump finally released the September jobs report.

The data shows unemployment is up and wage growth has slowed.

BREAKING: The August jobs report is brutal for Trump.

– Manufacturing (-12K) & Government (-16K) jobs both down
– Workweek shrinks to 34.2 hrs (lowest in years)

🚨 MASSIVE JOBS DISASTER FOR TRUMP 🚨
⁰Today’s US jobs report is an absolute BLOODBATH.

In July jobs fell short over 30,000 from the ~110K expected, and previous months got slashed by a whopping 258,000 jobs. It gets even worse.

Unemployment rose to 4.2% from 4.1%.

Obfuscation

At this moment in time, we don’t have a clear idea of what’s going on in the American economy, because Trump is hiding that data from us. We do, however, know that America is experiencing:

An AI bubble which could be the biggest bubble in history.
A growing personal debt crisis fuelled by an affordability crisis.
A legalised gambling crisis driven by apps which use algorithms to keep people hooked.
A chaotic tariff regime which has caused all sorts of problems in the global financial system.
A bizarrely favourable approach to crypto scammers, including pardons for prominent crypto criminals.

With so many ongoing crises boiling over at once, there’s only so much Trump can do to obscure what’s happening. If America instigates a financial crisis, though, we’ll all suffer as a result.

Bear that in mind when you’re listening to the UK politicians who are desperate to mimic the Trump regime:

The US was already in the shit before Trump took over, with $Tns in debt repayment coming due this year, and no way to borrow the money to cover that, because BRICS is dropping the USD at about the same rate as the EU is trying to sanction Russia – but only one of those policies is working.

Some wondered at the time if the Demonrats would deliberately lose the election as they had no answers to these problems themselves.

Needless to say, the use of politicised ‘tariffs’ has only multiplied those problems, along with all the other batshit policies Trump brought with him. Gutting your vassal’s economies may give a benefit in the very short term, but in the mid-long term it will bite back, especially when you are also pushing other countries not to trade with you.

On paper, the US may be a huge economy, same as the EU, but all the fundamentals are in the crapper, perhaps Zelensky’s Golden Potty.

There’s not really much Trump can do, and his advisors are idiots, blinky blinky Bessant is like a Liz Truss who is aware it’s all falling apart (She was too stupid to understand the consequences).

On Crypto, the US is aiming to transfer its debts into crypto ponzi scheme, and then write the crypto off – in theory the debts with it. F’Rage is doing his master’s bidding – the American billionaires, who funded Ukip and Brexit.

Whatever you do with your money fellow readers, do NOT put it into the crypto the Establishment will be enthused about. You will get burned.
