THere's an outlier Atlanta Fed forecast Trump is touting is 4.6 but literally the consensus is 1 and some are still forecasting negative GDP.

Note, the people forcasting 4.6 that Trump is touting are the same people who first reported negative GDP for Q1 which Trump called completely fake news partisan reporting. 2 days later the official report came out with negative numbers.

The difference now is that was AFTER the quarter was complete and the data was available it just hadn't been released. The Q2 report won't be complete until after June so these are all forecasts


"That is well above other GDP gauges which expect closer to 1% quarterly growth. The Atlanta Fed’s GDP gauge was last updated June 2 with its 4.6% growth projection."
