The Trump Administration Keeps Cancelling Key Economic Reports And Everyone is Suspicious: ‘The GDP report joins a list of other economic reports that have failed to be released, including the October jobs report and the October inflation report’ On Monday (24 November), the US Bureau of Economic Analysis cancelled the release of its growth estimate report for the third-quarter GDP. Before it was cancelled, the report had already been pushed back once, as it was scheduled to be released on 30 October. According to the department, the cancellation was due to the government shutdown, which recently ended. The GDP report joins a list of other economic reports that have failed to be released, including the October jobs report and the October inflation report. Despite president Trump’s continued insistence to the contrary, people’s wallets are feeling the effects of the poor economy, and many have speculated that the data cancellations are an attempt to withhold information about the true state of the economy. The news of the latest cancellation was met with plenty of commentary online. “If you’re keeping track at home, Trump admin has cancelled: “- Jobs Report “- Inflation Report “- GDP Report “I’m sure everything is just fine,” someone mocked. indy100.com Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn · Follow Cancelled jobs report, inflation report, and now GDP report.

Pocotrader, I am shocked the USA has so many Military bases in foreign lands, the costs must be huge and why? Most were likely constructed during the Cold War. Then the War on Terrorism gave the U.S. military new reasons to keep these bases open. Now the rise of China is giving us further excuses to keep our global reach extended for as long as possible. The last three presidents (no, I won't count Trump twice) promised to reduce our military commitments. Obama was supposed to be the peace president. He even won a Nobel Prize thanks to his promises alone. But in actuality Obama didn't do all that much to reduce our foreign presence. Trump, of course, promised "America First" and nO nEw wArS, which he largely stuck to during his first term, but now has completely abandoned during his second. Biden tried to reinstate Obama's foreign policy but really didn't do all that much, just like Obama. I keep telling everyone. *Isolationism is hard.* The temptation to "do something" is just too great. Tenchusatsu
