Opinion: If the economy slows, how will Trump spin it?

President Trump speaks during a ceremony at the White House on Wednesday. By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 28 at 3:15 PM President Trump is never one to shy away from gilding the lily — or gilding the lily, surrounding the lily with gaudy, gold-colored Louis XIV furniture, and then insisting that everyone is saying it’s the most spectacular lily in the world.

Trump has been touting 3.1 percent economic growth in 2018. But officially, the Commerce Department said Thursday, the economy grew 2.9 percent last year. Seriously: Try to picture Trump in 2020 saying, as many incumbents do, “We’ve made a lot of progress but we have more work to do, and here’s where I want to go next.” He just doesn’t have it in him. He’s going to say it’s phenomenal, no matter what the truth is.

But Trump had only 31 lots zoned and ready for sale at the course, according to city records. He claimed credit for 24 lots — and at least $72 million in future revenue — he didn’t have. He could declare multiple bankruptcies, and find other banks to lend him money . He could steal people’s life savings with cons like Trump University, but they were little people, and there were plenty more where they came from.

He'll blame Obama and the democrats.

IF AND WHEN THE ECONOMY SLOWS DOWN IT WILL BE DUE TO THE TARIFF MAN TRUMP, HURTING AMERICANS, THE FARMERS ARE GETTING GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES TO KEEP THEM FROM FORECLOSURES BUT ITS NOT THEIR FAULT, THE REST OF AMERICANS HAVE TO KEEP ON WORKING TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES NOT TRUMP.

The Dems did it and Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton Nancy Pelosi, babble babble.

...”those Dems....”, “.....those immigrants....”, “...those who don’t like me....”, “....those women.....”, “.....those minorities......”, “.....Nancy, Chuck, ......” ..... Have I covered it?

It's the dems. fault. Or President Obama's.

Is that how the Washington Post start an article about our President? ' IF' ... No wonder why he calls them fake news...

It's YOUR fault.

🤣 Lmfao 😂 No collusion so your rag pivots to speculating an apocalyptic view of the economy. As the economy continues to grow your rag will pivot to some other speculative fake news. DelusionNotCollusion 🤓

If if if

It will be Obama’s fault!

He will blame the dems as he gets more desperate he will blame the republicans then he will blame Mexicans and Muslims then women transexuals LGBTQ Media did I miss anyone? His ex-wives his current wife europeans Trump is all about Blame. He should look in the mirror!

He will blame Democrats and then spout some racist shit about Asylum seekers. That should work for his followers. SMDH

...the blame will go to either Hillary's emails, a new caravan, or Obamacare

Never mind 'Slows' what about the 'Crash?'

In whatever lie is convenient.

Obama's fault

If? It already has. The sugar high lasted a very short time.

If?

Illegal aliens' fault. Obama's fault. Media's fault.

Your opinion never cease to shock me. How will Yrump SPIN it Coming from the fake news famous for PUTTING THE SPIN ON everything 😂

He'll just fall back on his usual backup plan whenever things don't go the way he wants: 'It's somebody else's fault, not mine!' He's been doing that since the early 1980's.

It will be Obama’s fault, of course!

It part of his plan. Trust me.

When.

At the moment isn't the recession supposed to strike sometime in 2020 or 2021 right when he's ready elected anyway

Obama did it.

This headline is why I cancelled my WaPo subscription. Framing a Trump’s lack of experience, poor economic policy decisions, and the use of inept, unqualified political appointees as something to “spin” is propaganda, not journalism.

Simple, blame Obama or Clinton. Both are his fall backs. In case Trump forgot, Obama isn’t President and Hillary lost.

Blame obama and the obstructionist dems. Thats what he would do/say.

He was undermined by the democratic party at every turn from foreign to domestic monetary policy. They speak as though he is muduro or al-Assad. Eventually it will have an effect on everything. Then you go o what happened? Poor policy? or sabotage? North Koreas a prime example.

He will spin it real well! The man has helped out tremendously! Why do you continue to look for the negative in everything that happens?

Is the economy slowing?

Of course the GOP president will say it’s all the Democrats fault somehow.

He will blame someone else as usual. Never his fault.

Hey WP...Trump is still President!

That’s easy he will blame it on the DEMOCRATS!!!

Blame Obama

So you are suggesting now that a high steppe growth is the norm for Trump administration? I literally don’t understand the logic here.

Obama

Wow!

It will be Obama’s fault.

THE DEMOCRATS DID IT! • HIS NORMAL RUN OF THE MILL DEFLECTION.

I already slowed

Not how will Trump spin it... headlines should be: “What Lies Will Trump Tell and Who Will He Blame”

Bring on the slowdown. Faster please.

Do Old Elvis and Nigel share a writer?

blame Hillary

It will be Obama's fault.

I’ll take, “Start a false war for $1000,” Alec.

Like Tinkerbell, he falters if we don't shower him with applause. He'll blame the Democrats.

war)))

The US President’s job includes being a cheerleader for the US and its economy. WaPo sneers at the President for doing his job and doing it well. No surprise there, from WaPo, a fountain of Fake News.

....Hillary’s fault....?

...and how will media spin it if it doesn't?

Answer: Any way he wants to! If U haven’t already figured it out, “Individual-1” is the most accomplished Lying Liar Con Man to have ever inhabited the White House. He can say something is true & at least 35% of Americans, including all of the Republicans in Congress, believe it!

Obama.. always the black mans fault..never his fault..

It will NEVER be his fault. Roy Cohn’s corrupt influence is still going strong.

But it's not

Blame it on democrats

Don’t burn holes in your knees praying

Really, you want to blame him for that when you know it's caused by the FED. I say kill the FED institution and being back Gold Standard, that's the only thing that will make things better. But it won't work yet, cause FED threatens too much.

That's an easy question: he will decide to blame, either individually or as a unit; the Democrats, Hillary, Schiff, Pelosi, Comey, McCabe, Mexicans, CNN, MSNBC, 'fake news,' Cohen, the poor, or his currently favored (dead) foe, John McCain. Lots to choose from.

Let’s see, *check notes*, uhhhmmmmm....... *shrugs*, Past behavior shows he will most likely place the blame for a possible recession at the feet of the democrats.

Just like his other lies.

Last two years, he has been riding ; what Obama handed to him. What to do now!!!!

Democratics and Obama of course.

Looks his time has come:

Thats not an opinion. Thats a question. Idiots Nobody: Washington Post: what if Trump magiked into a baddy from a marvels comic and started breaking all the good things with his evil powers?! Lefties : oh no he didnt?!

It will be Obama’s fault😂

It’s Obama’s fault.

If alwaysnegitivetowarfsPOTUS

Now your spinning the 'what ifs', lol. Wapo is just a whacky conspiracy rag.

He will blame it on Hilary.

IF Mueller finds no collusion how will Washington Post spin it?

Why do we care?

I am sure you can make a crisis of it. The better question is: if the economy doesn’t slow, how will WaPo spin it?

It is not an if . Signs are there

He’ll spin it into a long and heavy economic crisis even worse than that of 2008. Because with realDonaldTrump it’s always the biggest and greatest of all time.

He won't he will say the economy has slowed and then he will give you the reason. That's the difference between our president and the last.

Muellers fault!

Too many “ifs” in that headline to be real news. fakenews

Maybe start a war with some country. Can somebody brave in the USA UNHOOK him from the White House!

Obama did it.

Blame the democrats? Or if that is not possible as he eat from both sides, blame Russia, or China, or the EU?

Most intelligent people understand the economy works in cycles. The democrats don't vote for him anyway.

Duh. Trump is the Teflon prez... he’ll blame Democrats & Obama.

Same way you do!!!!

The economy isn’t slowing, because he isn’t using Obama’s policies. However, keep hoping for the worst, WashPo.

“If’ is the most common word used by the far left media. This

He’ll just blame Obama. Or somebody else. 💩

He won't notice. Trump is bad at math and his base are even worse.

Blame Clinton and the deep state...

It’s Obama’s fault...

Another thing to blame on Obama

Who cares? 🙄

As always with anything realDonaldTrump says or does, it will be the Dems or President Obama’s fault!!

....international trade.

He will find a democrat to blame

I think WaPoImbeciles will experience a rare higher poll rating for all socialist oriented media mouthpieces of what once used to be the Liberal Democratic Party of FDR & LBJ The party WaPoImbeciles bat for is actually socialist to change America

As easy as your company spins it's printed stories.

If, lol

What a rag of a paper almost wishing the economy start reporting with out hate of the President

The same excuses he gives daily. 'It's the democrats fault, the witch hunt caused it.'

It's Obama's fault and Clinton's.

*raises hand, frantically snaps finger and waves* Oh I know this one

In Dec 2018, the 'Inverted Yield Curve' occurred for 1st x in 10 yrs. It happened 2nd x in Mar 2019. Since 1955 this is most accurate predictor of an economic slowdown to a recession within 2 yrs. This puts timing in 2020.. Trump will blame Pres Obama/ HRC/ Sen. McCain/ Mueller!

Hope you lose your court case or have to pay out of court how will you lie about it

Hillary’s emails.

It's Prez Obama's fault, I'm sure.

Not if. When. He started trade wars and created a massive deficit that will drive up interest rates and the cost of borrowing. Businesses will suffer.

It's the Democrats' fault. It's the Fed's fault. It's China's fault. ...

да ещё вон с телегами чем то лучше сейчас у всех?-это вопрос

ну кто вам все эти самородки хоть?-вопрос

He will blame Obama. All he has in his bag of Lies, left.

Oh he will blame Obama!

He will blame the Democrats of course!

No worries, he has a lie for everything.

Are you admitting the economy is great?

Of course you know it was Barack Obama he did it and Hillary was the mastermind with the deep government. Don’t worry Rush Limbaugh will explain to you.

It's always the Fed's and its member banks' fault. He will correctly assign responsibility to the Fed.

If the Fed Chief is right and the economy doesn’t recede, how will the Post spin the news cycle? Russia collusion? Debunked Racism? Nah, whiteface is a thing now. Climate change? GND crushed in Senate on cloture vote.

The greatest trick the republican party ever pulled was convincing people to vote against their own best interest. I've stopped underestimating them

I LIKE to Hear TRUMP weasel OUT of the INCREASING GAS PRICES AND THE GOP TAX SCAM?!

The oddest thing is that not even the fed and the Russia hoax, could hold it back..no matter how hard they tried Democrats and liberals are praying for the country to fail.

Trump will say it was Hillary’s fault

What if ... What if... MSM fakenews, Journalists don’t report the news anymore, because of their hate, just their hopes and dreams

Trump will just blame others, like he does on everything he fails at.

I see.that is HIS fault too..Jesus on the cross must be his too.

Wadesworld2 He will blame the Democrats.

He'll tell us THE WALL would have SAVED THE ECONOMY

It’s Obama’s fault

If? It's slowing down already. Consumer debt exploded after the tax reforms, company inventories are rising because fewer people can afford to buy. Until now low rates pumped cheap money into the economy. That will end. Before or after 2020 is the question.

Problem with the WP is that even non opinion articles are opinion articles, why label this an “opinion piece?”

The question is how have you spun it since it’s been fast

Why he’ll blame it on the Dems of course. “You let them take control of the House and here we are.” There’s no low that monster won’t go; no lie he can’t tell; no shame he won’t perpetrate on the American people, with the GOP GreedOverPeople right behind him. PondScum

Blame it on Obama- like everything else.

Why not wait until it happens rather than throwing out a bunch of crap into the nonsensesphere? What happens if the economy stays hot? How will potus respond then? Stop being ridiculous!

Blames Democrats & Obama.

He will blame the “others” like he does with everything else that doesn’t go his way

Obama's fault. Duh.

With his normal bullshit, lies and blaming Everyone Else ofcourse

Are planning with your pay masters to derail the economy? So as to get at Trump?

He’ll blame Democrats, Obama, and Hillary Clinton

Dems fault for not helping him.

The Crybaby president. Shoulda counted all the times he cried with his lies

trump doesn’t “spin” he flat out lies. Makes shit up on the spot.

It's Hillary Clinton's fault.

It’s Obama ‘s fault. Or he’ll bomb Iran as a distraction.

Who can Trust the word of a conman? That has always been Trump’s name game. , Con everyone.

By blaming Obama and the Democrats

“If” I must have missed the opinion story on how right now the US economy is booming. Propaganda doesn’t work when the public has access to the truth. Anyone who still believes a word printed in the Post is exactly the same as those who get their info from FOX.

Individual 1 will blame it on Obama of course

Opinion: What if The Washington Post's revenue shrinks to 5% of what it was a year ago, how will spin it?

What if it doesn't?

he's would doing SHUTDOWN 🤣🤣🤣

He’ll blame it on Obama! Hell, he can barely count past 10 as it is. Not much firing in that airspace between the ears!

Three words, Obama and Hillary!

Blame everyone but himself.

He’ll just blame it on the Dems and lie about it like he does everything else.

He will blame his useless sons

Magic 8 ball: Obama

The president will most likely blame the TheDemocrats , RINOs, immigrants, China, Mexico, Extra terrestrials, zombies, his mom....

The same way it is always spun: blame immigrants and poor people.

He said already he will not be here when the economy comes crashing down. Remember Bush bailed out the banks, Obama fixed it.

Blame it on the democrats for not supporting his wall.

Obama or Clinton fault. Or the Democrats; somehow.

It could slow but have to take a dive to reach your clowns GDP

Obama

Her emails.

HER EMAILS!!!

It will be somehow be President Obama’s fault!

It will be Hilary’s fault.

realDonaldTrump He will blame Hillary, Obama, Bezos, McCain and Mueller. Why ask such a stupid question when the whole world knows how he is going to spin it.

Yup, here we go again. Even CBCNews had some DC whack-job on today talking about how to bring down POTUS after the Mueller HOAX. CBC are setting up the Canadian & American public for a major DOWN TURN or ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. Who is giving these folks 4am LIE-DROPS? WeSeeThruYou

The tax cuts haven't kicked in yet?

Isn’t this Obama’s economy? LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Obama's fault

Thanks, Obama.

The POTUS will blame the Fed, Democrats, women, black people, Muslims, the fake news media, Puerto Rico, Special Olympians, windmills, socialists, and Alec Baldwin. (Not necessarily in that order)

Another great story based on “IFs”. This is not news.

He’ll say it’s Obama’s fault.

Good god. I’m not sure I even care anymore. Can we just stop talking about him? Just for a week? And no photos, either, please? He’s so revolting.

1. Witch hunt 2. Fake news 3. Obama’s economy 4. FBI is behind it 5. Deep State

I'm a man but how Will trump handle it the economy if he gets pregnant?

If a meteor hits the earth how Will trump help?

He’s killing the economy it’s only a matter of time till trump bankrupts America like he’s done to his businesses

Trump was great in Michigan!!!! MAGA

Mr. Trump is a living Dark Matter with full of gravity and he knows how to spin the economy.

Oh, he'll just say it wasn't his fault and blame someone else.

Don't buy anything you don't NEED. That slows the economy. It also helps you stay out of debt or get out of debt. Trump thinks the mint is to print money for him to throw away. Just like his bankrupt business, he cleaned them out for himself first and then stiffed the bank.

Obama Works every time

It will slow as gas prices are going up, food will be going up and probably a shortage with all the flooding

I’ll say it’s Obama’s fault.

The economy is not good. It's a temporary moment but it will not last.

Obama’s fault

If there was collusion.... If there was obstruction.... If the economy slows.... If everything negative.... Geez, you guys must hate life.

“It’s the Democrats’ fault!”

He’ll blame Hillary and Obama, of course.

Duh! Crooked Hillary’s fault / Lock her up!

You can be a 100% sure he will blame the Democrats, or the Chinese, or anything else.

Powell, Obama and oh yeah, Hillary's emails.

You and I know full well, that it is Obama's fault. :)

Trump will continue make up lies about trade with China to bring the market up.

“It’s not slowing. In fact it’s speeding up. Fastest economy ever.” Done.

the economy has already started to slow, trump will just deny it happening and the almost forty percent will take him at his lying word.

If the economy expands, how will Trump spin it. How will the media address it, which is the real question

All signs are already pointing to slowing economy! We are probably already in recession! Trump will blame hillarys emails!

He’ll blame Obama and Clinton...BIGLY...like he blames them for everything else.

Typical leftist thinking. Conservatives look forward with confidence. About time leftists also gave Trump some credit for his policies that have created an economic boom & the lowest unemployment in decades.

It’s very simple, you blame it on the feds for raising interest rates. Trump disagreed in raising the rates.

It’s Obama’s fault

Not his fault. Never his fault

Obama did it.

If? This is worth posting about?

He will blame it on Obama.

He will blame Hillary!

When is the correct word. 12 months out from recession.

Tax cuts. More tax cuts! It’s the Repub’s answer to every problem.

If it slows it will be because if the Democrats. They have done nothing the last 2 years. NOTHING

Obama is at fault! If he says that his dumb followers will believe him! Some of his followers are just sick! They will lose everything and still vote for him!

The economy has been growing since he took office and you guys have spun the story non-stop. Why do you even exist!?

If? It is when. The stupid fucktwit doesn’t realize that the first couple years of every President is reliant on his predecessor. His time is coming and it will suck donkey dick!

Blame Dems, China, Brexit, Obama, Hillary, Uranium, Media, Acosta, Schiff, Hillary’s emails

Nice headline. Bias much?

As much as the left is hoping, it’s not slowing ... its cruising

He always seems to blame Obama. But we know better...

He will say that it is all Obama's and Hillary's fault.

He’ll blame Obama

That is EXACTLY what “The Washington Post” is doing; his newspaper sales & online subscriptions are slow.. so what “ The Washington Post” Do ... The hunt for President Trump, public líes, inflates the news etc

There really isn’t an If here. The only question is who does he blame when this budgetary crime spree comes home to roost.

Anyway he can and everyone other then Trump will be responsible!

He will blame President Obama and cry to his Faux News friends to protect him.

If...

The economy keeps getting better boys !!!

He’ll blame the Democrats

So that’s your “reporting” on how incredible the economy has been since he was elected? On the historic employment records for blacks and Hispanics? Guessing you missed that....BUT, hey...keep up the good work speculating on how things could go south. Asshat

He'll blame Obama lol

It will be Hillary and Obama’s fault

He will blame President Obama, the Democrats, the House. GET RID OF THE TARIFFS. But he is not that smart.

He always finds someone to blame. Likely Obama.

The New Green Deal. ShadowBanned

He will lie and call people names. That is all he ever does.

He doesn’t think too much. He will do the usual — blame everyone else who isn’t a Republican.

He will say it’s Obama’s fault, Democrats fault, Hillary’s fault the people didn’t embarrass me!

Blame Obama.

Obama did it.

Wont have spin the evil Democrats dancing in the streets about a market crash, just like muslims dancing in the streets over destruction of world trade centers. Evil is evil peroid! American are coming into the light about your propaganda and fake news, finally, being WOKE! MAGA

He will tell the truth and that is the national press has so mislead the population that it's hard to just up and quickly recover Other words the press did it let them explain

He'll spin it as though it's booming! It's great! Just like everything else...

That’s easy. He’ll blame Obama😳

When is it slowing? Why always the negative? Everyone is working, tons of new jobs. Contractor signs on every street in America! Less taxes and more $$ in your pocket! Trump2020

He'll blame Mueller and the democrats

Increased interest rates?

My money is on obstruction by the Dems or illegals getting free stuff....Seem to be popular targets on the right.

Whatever condition the economy is in it's better than it was under Obama. Hell, even old middle-class white males laid off by Clinton's corporate merger mania are finding jobs and going back to work! Get off your ass and participate!

The economy was never well, when people said they would be bad off if the missed 1-2 pay periods during the shutdown. Long lines of people who barely could make ended meet, contractors still suffering and etc

If the economy continues to boom how will you spin it?

He’ll say it’s Obama’s fault.

Of course he’ll blame everyone else. Zero doubt, not even a question.

He’s already blaming it on the Fed. And the United Autoworkers.

just claim its growing faster yhan any time in history. Why would he stop gaslighting now? And why would his 5 or 10% followers stop believing his lies?

He'll blame it on an immigrant, or a Black politician, or a woman politician or Hillary or Obama or Warren or his left nut.

FactsMatter MockingbirdMedia FakeNews QAnon WWG1WGA HumanTrafficking pizzagate

If...

Simple. Obama, the Fed, and Democrats. Simple, vacuous talking points that will inflame his base.

Hillary.

Don't know, but I guarantee that if the economy does go south, Trump will blame it on the Democrats. That's his M.O.

As the economy roars, how will wapo ignore it? Now we know.

He will blame Obama

He will say it is Fed Chairman’s/Mnuchin’s/Obama’s/Clinton’s emails’/Alexander Hamilton’s/Kermit the Frog’s fault. Take your pick.

It’s Obama’s fault

Democrats fault! Like always!

It won’t.

It'll be Obama's fault or someone else, not him!

All lies?

Obama or Hilary or maybe Soros or Mexicans or Puerto Rican’s or very nice people on both sides or the fed guy or Adam Schiff or any number of reporters or menstruating women or .... fill in the scapegoat of the moment

Gotta be Hillary’s and Obama’s fault!

Obama’s fault. Although, we are past halfway, so maybe he’ll round up and somehow blame the next president?

Stop preying for that love Americans

Rises even out

Useless question that will lead to coverage of his deception.

I'm going out on a limb and say he'll lie about it.

IF IF IF IF IF....give me a break 🙄 Mockingbird fake news...

The WaPo is urinalism!

Silly question...he will lie

Obama did it! Hillary's emails did it! NO COLLUSION!

It’s the democrats fault! It’s Obama’s fault!

He will blame the Fed for interest rates being too low. Even though he threw a hissy fit when they raised rates a measly quarter percent. He also had the six big banks buy the debt. So they will get blamed too. Trump hires fallguys to take the blame.

‘Normal fluctuation of the market’

If? It already has. 2.1 last qtr.

It’ll be Obama’s fault.

not 'if' but 'when' and how DEEP.

why do we even let him....so tired of this.

It will be someone else’s fault. Probably the person standing next to him or the last person he talked to.

Hypothetical's now? That's a headline?!?!?

He brings in your ethical boss, cheater, bezos

He'll undoubtedly blame it on Hillary or Obama. Or both. Maybe the deep state too. And surely Adam Schiff will carry some blame as well.

Sadly I think you disgusting people would love for America to fail under Trump.

Why does his mouth always look like he’s about to give someone a bj?

Really, you're asking that...................it's the democrats fault of course. god thump can't do anything wrong. Oh I mean god damn thump.

OMG give it up, WaPoo. Enjoy the lawsuits against you that you justly deserve.

By Milking other nations using ISIS

Obama and Hillary’s fault obviously

If it doesn’t then what ? Haha

He’ll say it’s Obama’s fault.

The question is How will you spin it?

The slowing economy has a thin neck. It must resign.

Blame everyone else like he always does. 🙄

Like so many things, it’s Obama’s fault.

He'll blame it on the Dems & news media, just like everything else. Certainly won't take any personal responsibility.

IF?....

Washington Post washed out!

Only question will be, in what order will the bully-in-chief blame: Obama, Socialists, Nancy, Hillary’s eMails, Fake Media, Puerto Rico, Immigrants, people of color, women, SocSec & Medicare participants, Special Olympic athletes.... Resist VoteThemOut

He’ll go golfing and blame chuck and Nancy

so you’re admitting the economy because of trump is doing outstanding?

He’ll blame it on Obama or better yet Hillary

He's done a lot for the economy. Even his daughter has & is still doing more for the economy than Obama did in 8 years.

It will be everyone’s fault but his

Just like every horrible thing he's done, blame it on someone else living or dead!

It won’t be his fault!!!

praying for a recession...how will it effect JeffBezos ?

He'll blame Hillary.

Fake news 🤣🤣🤣

Let's get facts straight. The coupe was used to destroy our country. Democrats are not finished..they need to be defeated. Our Country is in a dangerous point. Trump is strong however we must beat the deep state

He'll say 'It's the Dems fault

Simple....blame Obama!

No problem. POTUS Trump will rally up a bipartisan agreement with amyklobuchar and implement a trillion dollar infrastructure construction project. Creating thousands of jobs and stimulating the economy. realDonaldTrump

He'll blame the Fed.

Trump won't spin , he'll blame someone/something else.

Opinion: if the economy grows, how will the media spin it?

Democrats are the only people who complain about things going well

He spins everything.

It is slowing and will slow further. Trump will need to re-focus on the border problem.

Blame the Democrats

His spin will be ' it's the slowest ever, you can't even get it slower, slowest in history'

Dont worry, he us not that goon at spinning as you guys are. biasedmedia

Who will he blame?

Too many Dems will be out and about cheering for the downfall of American economy because they don't like their President. It's disgusting

It will be Hillary/Obama's fault, of course.

Hmm that's such a difficult question! We know that Trump blames everything bad on someone else (eg, Democrats, media, etc), takes credit for good things that aren't his doing (stock market, economy), and is profligate liar. I wonder what might happen here? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

He can just copy Obama and say, 'If you like your economy, you can keep your economy'.

Ask for alien's help otherwise no way MarkefBusiness MarkefConsult MarkefAccount

He’ll lie and say it’s great and make up numbers

First he will blame the democrats and call them obstructionists. Then he will fire Steven Moore and blame him. Then he will tell Steve Mnuchin to take a bullet for him. And lastly he will blame Republican Congress. OneTrickPony

It won’t be his fault. You can be sure of that. It’ll be whoever he hates the most at the time.

He'll lie and say it's the best economy ever.

Trump will just lie, like he always does

Obama, dems, liberals, crooked Hillary, immigrants, Mexico, the left, fake news, the media, etc will be the blame

Who cares? Release the report!

This is the best you got after the Russian collusion hoax fell apart? 'If aliens blow up Florida from space how will Trump spin it?!' Pathetic. Your so called news organization is in shambles.

Obama.

He's already blaming it on Jerome Powell, the fed chair.

If? You mean when.

END THE FED.

Well, we KNOW it won’t be his fault, though he’s the first to take credit when the economy is good!

Trump is masterminding the stock market, after all he’s a Billionaire in control of the Worlds best economy. He spun it down once already, then look how it jumped back up. He knows through manipulation when invest and when to withdraw. He’s a good ole boy Insider

It'll be Adam Schiff's fault or maybe George Washington's.

If the economy slows, Trump won’t talk about it. He’ll create an emergency, another distraction to focus on!

Create more lies.

In equal measure he will blame Obama just as much as he neglected to credit him.

Honestly he will try with all his knowledge and the people who stand with him

He’ll blame Obama, duh.

But her emails...

Guess he’ll lie about it. Shocking, I know 😑

Like he handles all bad news: Trump will lie. Down is up, bad is good, night is day - that’s the way Trump does reality.

The argument that Trump and his acolytes are crooks has lost its edge. People who care have made up their minds. As much as we'd hate to admit it, none of this matters. Dims can only beat him at the hustings by offering better governance, especially healthcare, than he can.

Leaving the WH.. waving 2 reporters. It's all good.

If the economy gets stronger how will The Washington Post spin it?

Lol...If.

Have you apologized yet? We’re waiting. 😡

CHgINA!!

He will say is the best ever...do nothing.

Go to H-LL Post‼️ -0- credibility anymore❗️❗️❗️❗️

He will create another ‘news worthy story ‘....or maybe just tell the base that it’s fake news

If statements, are now worthy of news at the Post. Anything to try and discredit this president. No shame.

He will whip it, whip it good.

Obama caused it

It’s somebody else’s fault, duh!

More agitation. I wonder how many of you realize this is Washington Post manipulation.

*when. It already has. No where near the 3% promised and light years away from the 5% he boasted about MAGA my ass.

If it expands, how will you spin it?

Easy, peasy - It's either the no-good Democrat's fault...or, (probably, most likely...) Jeff Sessions fault!

That's easy....

A Trump/Republican created Recession is coming. I guess They want to destroy even Obama’s Legacy of leaving Republicans with a Great Economy. Remember 2008, Republican Recession. Get ready Republicans are not experienced Economist & Trump hires Losers like Stephen Moore.

Can you believe it's only been two years? Man, it feels 10!

He'll find some way to blame it on 'the black' president Obama trumpisaracist

Democrats won the mid-terms. easy

If...

“If”... really that’s all you guys can do now? Thank god this Russia shit is over

Blame Obama. Doesn’t he always.

If that happens, you guys will be celebrating since your 2 year effort to take him down failed miserably. Even your most loyal readers should feel betrayed.

Blame someone else duh

He’ll blame someone else of course, he takes Responsibility for nothing.

He’ll call it fake news and/or blame the Dems. And his supporters will eat it up. Facts, reality - these mean nothing to them.

It is slowing because of his bad policies but he is already saying it’s because of the democrats & mueller

Surprisingly, I bet on Hillary.

Does it matter 43% will agree with the spin regardless.

It's always someone else's fault. Like all the cruelty in this world isn't the doing of the omnipotent, benevolent God.

It’s all Democrats fault is what he will say that and it’s all brown people’s fault

All I know is he won’t own it.

Come on now..... You know he will blame it on H. Clinton, B. Obama and those pesky democrats somehow. Oh! And SNL too. 😂

AOC and socialism!

It will be fake news or Democrats fault. That’s how he spins everything isn’t it!?

It will be somebody else's fault - DUH.

'it's the Democrats' fault!'

'if'.....great way to start

Hillary and the Russians doing it on purpose!

OBAMA!!!! And or anyone in the world living or dead but him.

Oh, so if the economy start slowing down you people will stop giving Obama credit for the current economy? Interesting

Obama!!

Rigged, etc

Who cares, it's thin gruel for addlepated reactionary dead-enders, it should make no difference to anybody else.

It’s the Special Olympians fault.

It will still be better than when realDonaldTrump took office !! And don’t forget his wins on trade .. security .. Jerusalem as capital .. destroying ISIS .. Dems don’t even come close ! TDS MAGA

*when* When the economy slows.

He will say it is still better than any President since Reagan.

He’ll blame Obama

That's easy, blame President Obama or President Hillary Clinton

DemocRAT obstruction, which is exactly what is going on today.

He will say it is the Democrat’s fault. He would say companies are scared of him leaving office. Of course we all know it is bullshit.

Lol

He'll just lie. Same as it ever was.....

He will blame it in Hillary’s emails.

Obviously, it will be Obama's fault.

Nothing is ever his fault so he will just start there and go with that

It’s the Democrats fault, of course. Or else he won’t tweet about it like he didn’t when the stock market tanked and simply pretend it isn’t a problem. Honestly his base still doesn’t get it.

As he usually does by blaming someone else.

Odds?

'Socialism will make this seem like the 1980s and 1990s.'

“NOT SLOW! NOT SLOW! ECONOMY FASTEST EVER!”

“Thanks Obama!”

If?!? They lowered it from 2.6 to 2.2

Blame Muller 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is wapo actually saying the trump economy is going good?

He will blame Obama or someone else. Dishonest Donald never accepts responsibility for a damn thing.

Obama's fault.

He will just say it’s Obama’s fault.

Democrats fault

Only fake news spins. Ask the working people about the economy and what is happening for them.

More lies, more BS! Fat orange turd!

He’ll blame Obama and Clinton.

Easy... He will blame it on the caravan!

Global slowdown dragging the US which is relatively much better (all true btw)

He'll spiral it instead

He will either lie and tell it is isn't and/or blame it on others.

If the economy grows, how will the Washington post spin it?

Democrat control of the house Seen what it did to the stock market in December.

It will be Hillary’s fault I’m sure.

If the economy tanks, even Trump's base isn't going to buy the spin.

Blame Hillary?
