Yield curve inversion is a technical indicator. Of course, we could have a recession in the next year. The yield curve inversion doesn't cause it. It simply correlates at 0.25 with a one-year recession forecast. >> GDP growth would be the most important. Which has been declining for several quarters. As you can see from the above, the first quarter Trump took office, GDP shot up, and it is nowhere near Q2'17 now, even with the trade negotiations underway. Meanwhile, many other countries are experiencing significant GDP problems. Not us. We're well above where we were when he took office. You can contrast that with the level he inherited. "There are others. As was detailed in that post of mine which you clearly didn't read." You are full of shit. I read a post from right after Trump took office where you were saying it couldn't be done. BTW, you failed to mention the employment situation. I can't predict the future and neither can you. But as of today, there is no doubt that Trump has clearly, and substantially, improved the economy. Could just be because people think he is better at it. But there really isn't any doubt about what happened. It coincided perfectly with his election and taking office.
