The 2025 Krasnov Economy - Just Lie About It

Krasnov hit the air publicly touting that his tariffs had lowered our trade deficit by 78% in 2025. This was broadcast all across the country, maybe still is on Magat radio and TV.

The real number - Krasnov's tariffs lowered our trade deficit in 2025 by 0.2%


Boast #2 - Our 2025 4th Quarter GDP grew by 5.4%, the Krasnov economy is booming he proclaimed, no one else predicted this.

The real number - our 2025 4th Quarter GDP grew by 1.4%

This is Krasnov's economy, a bunch of fat lies.
