Economy shrinks at fastest quarterly rate on record

You are comparing apples to oranges. You are comparing Singapore's and Germany's annualized GDP to America's quarterly. Almost always people use annualized throughout to simplify comparisons.

If we use quarterly to compare, then trump has never broken 1% growth. Obama broke 1% quarter growth three times, but trump has completely failed to do so.

Next you will try to compare Obama's underemployment with a Republican's unemployment. Both are important numbers, but if the only way you can defend Republican failure is by comparing very different numbers, it says how bad Republican failure is.

Go back and explain the difference between annual and quarterly to floridafan. and re-read my link. I see nothing about Trump or Obama in it.And please show where I mentioned or compared either. Nor was there any mention of growth, just 2nd Q contraction comparison this yr.among select countries.

My point is you gave examples, as does trump, of who we are doing better than~failing to point out we are also doing worse than some others.

In this case china~this is a far more important FACT, than if we are in the same boat or slightly better than some others.....

@ some point china is going to overtake the USA as the leading/largest economy in the world & that will come w/ perks...

What they are doing/achieving relative to us~what we are not is not only much more import to Americans but specifically the west & those doing business, cultural/social ties etc..........

I get what you're saying but I couldn't care less if "we" are #1. I'm a very happy camper . I'm a Taoist. I have little material needs but more than enough.
