Among the great number of fantastical promises Donald Trump made on the campaign trail, one of the boldest was his claim that under his stewardship, the United States would see economic growth of up to 6 percent a year. So yuge would this boost be, Trump said, that he would be able to eliminate the national debt over a period of eight years, a feat not achieved since 1835.

Since entering the White House, Team Trump has moderated its goals slightly, reducing expectations for “MAGAnomics” to yield sustained 3 percent growth. That figure, too, has been roundly mocked by people familiar with the macroeconomic field, from Fed chair Janet Yellen to BlackRock C.E.O. Larry Fink. But White House budget director Mick “Outright contempt for mathematics” Mulvaney remains adamant he can make the numbers work. The magic formula, according to Mulvaney, lies in MAGAnomics’s combination of tax reform, slashing regulations, decimating the social safety net, “rebuilding America’s infrastructure,” fair trade, and “government spending restraint.” The one problem? Tax reform—allegedly the biggest piece of the puzzle to unlocking higher growth—remains little more than the one-page, doubled-spaced, bullet-point outline that National Economic Director Gary Cohn and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin unveiled in April. Despite the benefit of looking like relative geniuses compared to the people presiding over the epic failure that has been the attempt to repeal or replace Obamacare, it’s not clear that Team Tax reform is anywhere close to producing a real bill, either. And the International Monetary Fund, among other serious economic institutions, has taken note. Per Business Insider:

The International Monetary Fund has sharply revised its forecast for US economic growth in a direct indictment of Donald Trump’s presidency and lack of action on promised policy changes. The IMF downgraded its forecast for US gross domestic product growth to just 2.1% this year, down from 2.3% previously, and also cut its 2018 estimate to 2.1% from 2.5%. That revision is especially striking since it matched cuts not seen anywhere in the world other than two major emerging economies facing deep political crises—Brazil and South Africa.

This follows the news that despite Trump promising a historic corporate tax cut, from the current rate of 35 percent down to 15 percent, the best that the administration can probably hope for at this point is 25 percent, as it bumps up against “political and fiscal realities” like blowing out the deficit by $10+ trillion over the next 10 years. ($7 trillion is obviously much more palatable.)

“The major factor behind the growth revision, especially for 2018, is the assumption that fiscal policy will be less expansionary than previously assumed, given the uncertainty about the timing and nature of U.S. fiscal policy changes,” the report said. “Market expectations of fiscal stimulus have also receded.”
