As they attempt to do transshipments to avoid tariffs - meanwhile, the economy is crashing. Factory activity the lowest since covid lockdown (www.cnbc.com)

Meanwhile - as a gauge of economic health - exports to the EU were up 8% but imports from the EU fell 16% - in effect, the one getting crushed in the trade is Europe along with China.

"Q1 2025: Down 21% from Q1 2024
Q1 2024: Down 26% from Q1 2023!

Do you -------- ever tell the truth? Where did you get your 26% drop from? It surely was not from the equivalent report released in Q1'2024 which showed the drop was 17%, not 26%. Here is the link to the report:majorcitieschiefs.com

The numbers?

Q1 2023: 1782
Q1 2024: 1474, a decrease of 17% - which is LESS than the 21% drop under Trump.

So, where did you get your 26% numbers? Why, you got it by doing a Google search on total US murders which is skewed given so many agencies did not report - however, for the apples to apples on these deep blue --------- cities - WE HAVE THE NUMBERS.

So, we are back to why you lied.

1.) You were too stupid to know how to do an apples to apples comparison?
2.) You were intentionally trying to lie and got busted

Neither one is a good look for you.
