During Trump's first term he announced a few quarters over 4% but in actuality, he had ZERO quarters over 4 and his final GDP up to just before the pandemic was 2.7%. Obama had handed him a 2.5% GDP so with massive deficits spending he only raised it 0.2%.
Plus, that Obama rate of 2.5 included the abysmal numbers in Obama's first year when he had to fix the Bush recession. So for anyone who knows how averages work, that 2.5% was phenomenally better than Trump's 2.7%.
And for Obama, deficits were going down and for Trump, deficits were skyrocketing. So that abysmal increase for Trump came from borrowed money.
By blocking 20% of the world's crude from going thru the strait of hormuz, this will also make it harder for the world to boycott, or pretend to boycott, Russian crude.
So trump's boss in Moscow must be downright orgasmic in his gloating.
