比尔·马赫,一位左倾的喜剧演员,公开承认他对唐纳德·特朗普的关税预测是错误的。他最初和许多经济学家一样,认为关税会迅速损害美国经济,可能导致在2024年7月出现衰退。然而,马赫现在承认这种情况并没有发生。 他观察到经济出人意料地具有韧性,引用了创纪录的股市高点以及日常生活看似正常,人们继续消费和工作。最近的经济数据支持了这一点,显示制造业产出增加、失业救济金申请数量下降以及零售额回升。 马赫承认他“必须承认”自己的预测有误,表示关税没有像他预期的那样“击沉”美国经济。他还指出他不理解特朗普的整体贸易战略,但经济结果违背了最初的预期。

Left wing comedian Bill Maher admitted on Monday that he was dead wrong about the effect of President Trump's tariffs - saying in an episode of his "Club Random"podcast that while many economists predicted tat Trump's tariffs would immediately lead to inflation, he was among the doomsayers who were wrong. 

"I remember I, along with probably most people, were saying at the beginning, ‘Oh, you know, by the 4th of July’ — somebody had a thing - how the economy was going to be tanked by then," said Maher during a discussion with vapid parrot Brian Tyler Cohen. "And I was kind of like, ‘Well, that seems right to me.’ But that didn’t happen. Now, it could happen tomorrow. I’m just saying that’s reality."

"[T]he truth is, I don’t know what his strategy is. But look, the stock market is at record highs. I know not everybody lives by the stock market, but I also drive around," he added. "I don’t see a country in a depression at all. I see people out there just living their lives. And I would have thought - and I gotta own it - that these tariffs were going to fucking sink this economy by this time — and they didn’t."

As the Daily Caller notes further; Along with the strong stock market performance that Maher mentioned, manufacturing output also increased 0.1% in June after an upwardly revised 0.3% increase in May, the Federal Reserve Board reported on July 16. Moreover, U.S. jobless claims for the week ending July 19 sank by 4,000, marking a sixth consecutive week of decline and a three-month low, Reuters reported.

U.S. retail sales growth also rebounded more than anticipated in June, climbing 0.6%, according to advance estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau released July 17.

Furthermore, Trump has announced major trade deals during his second term, including with the European Union, Japan and the Philippines.
