Of course #Trump likely would've found some other reason for this executive order.
But he didn't have to because we, the scientific community, handed him this reason on a silver platter. Some smart move.
Let's not delude ourselves: This one is 100% on us. Keep on with business as usual, and plenty more will be coming where that one came from.

#US #Economy Grew in #Q2 as #Tariffs Scrambled Data
#GDP rebounded in the spring after contracting at the start of the year, but #ConsumerSpending remained weak.
Economic growth softened in the 1st half of the year, as tariffs & #uncertainty upended #business plans & scrambled #consumers’ spending decisions.

…The #Q2 figures are preliminary & will be revised at least twice in coming months as more complete data becomes available. Those revisions can be significant….
