Trump is still denying he knew about the Trump Tower meeting. This is because he knows that Cohen's story has him dead to rights on collusion and Trump Jr. on perjury. And now we're supposed to believe that Trump's long time lawyer and personal lapdog is a lifelong, pathological liar (Giuliani's words), but Trump is totally honest? Good story!

Boom boom baby! And all this is happening before the foreign tariffs start falling. Happy days are here again.
Maybe it's time for one of your trademark predictions. Growth next quarter should be just as high or even higher, right? Right?
The real problem if a judge believes Trump knew about the meeting is obstruction - instructing a subordinate to tell a false story about an event part of an investigation...that's pure obstruction. Hard to get more pure than that.
The tariffs actually boosted GDP this year - people bought a crapload of stuff at the pre-tariff price. Now that prices have gone up on many things, much less will be bought, lowering GDP.
