GDP report officially cancelled. Karoline Leavitt blames the Democrats for cancelled economic reports

The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced Monday that it had officially canceled releasing the advance estimate on gross domestic product (GDP) for the third quarter of 2025. The Trump administration had previously delayed the release, which was initially slated for October 30, due to the government shutdown—but now it seems to have been abandoned altogether.

Last week, the Labor Department called off releasing its monthly jobs report for October, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics scrapped its own report on inflation.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed the Democrats two weeks ago for such delays, saying the liberal party “may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system.” She hinted at further cancellations, saying that data from October “will be permanently impaired.”

It wasn't even enough jobs created to be break even and the unemployment rate went up. The only good news is that the number came in higher than expected. If they were going to fake the numbers, they would have given better numbers.

With a ton of help from Vlad Poop-tin. How much longer this goes on? The economy is total shit except for the bitcoin frauds and AI billionaires.
