US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Americans should be patient in the light of an economic contraction of the first quarter, with the argument that his rates would eventually lead to a flourish in the US economy.

Republican Trump blamed his democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, for the poor.
“This is the stock market of Biden, not Trump's,” he said. “Our country will bloom, but we have to get rid of the Biden 'overhang'.
Trump added: “This takes a while, has nothing to do with rates, only that he has left us with bad figures, but when the tree starts, it will be like no other. Be patient !!!”
Peter Cardillo, Chief Market Economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York, put the responsibility on Trump.
“We came to these figures because of Trump's policy,” said Cardillo. “They have created uncertainty and when you create uncertainty, nobody will put his foot on the accelerator pedal.
“We see that when the income comes out,” Cardillo added. “Guidance has been withdrawn.”
Indeed, the ongoing, multi-front trade war continues to cloud the American business reserved season, in which companies are increasingly attracting or reducing guidance due to the fog of tariff insurtions.
