A selective reading of the data can be made to support almost any conclusion, and I think Bloomberg has a rather obvious bias. As TFA says: "A faltering economic outlook in coming months would likely cast a shadow over President Donald Trump’s re-election bid."

And even if there wasn't an election going on, we should consider a source's track record when evaluating their latest predictions. Bloomberg Media is the boy who cried "recession".

That’s a fair point. I forgot Bloomberg had entered the race to be honest. That could cause a lot of Bias.

However I do think the economy isn’t well, if it was I doubt the fed would have restarted QE.
