he can just change the definition of 'recession' like the Dems did to ensure we don't actually have a recession
I'm afraid you misunderstand, the OP - a true believer MAGA, probably similar to yourself - actually thinks Trump is trying to trigger a recession on purpose. I know, sounds stupid doesn't it?
If it was as simple as just changing the definition, we wouldn't need the tariffs, DOGE, attacks on the independency of the fed and all the rest to achieve the desired recession.
