what would gdp growth have been, if not for the one time run up in purchases of us giids. and if trump and the eu agreed to work toward zero tariffs, then what are the tariffs that everyone is so afraid of, that they’re stockpiling today.

businesses can’t survuve a one time surge in demand? even if that’s what this is, which is a bug if, it’s better that the surge in demand never happened? how does that make sense? i can’t win piwetball every year, that doesn’t mean it’s bad if i win once.
