It legitimately was. They changed the definition of recession and they massively over estimated job creation and always had to scale back.

Tell me what I am lying about?

Not that tariffs are helping (in the short term) but the economy was not great to start with.

you're lying about literally both things.

A) nobody redefined recession, you made that up.

B) the job numbers are ALWAYS revised.

This is nonsense. Yes two quarters of GDP decline is a decent rule of thumb but it's not the definition nor is it acceptable when you're unable to square it with growth everywhere else. We had the opposite example, where GDP was growing in spite of an obvious recession, last time.

The Great Recession saw employment peak in November 2007, personal income less government transfers peak in December 2007, the unemployment rate was up to 5% from 4.5% in the summer, GDP fell 1 quarter in Q4 2007 but rose in the initial estimates of Q1 and Q2 2008 GDP. The NBER called a recession literally because of every piece of evidence except GDP. https://www.nber.org/news/business-cycle-dating-committee-announcement-december-1-2008

Yes, the start of 2008 when the Fed bailed out Bear Stearns, GDP was growing in the initial reports. The initial GDP report was wrong in calling that recession. Eventually revisions brought it down across 2008.
