7. Self-fulfilling Prophecy
Definition is correct but this is nonsense.
"Interesting Fact: Economic Recessions are self-fulfilling prophecies. Because a recession is 2 quarters of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) decline, you cannot know you are in a recession until you are at least 6 months into one. Unfortunately, at the first sign of decreasing GDP, the media reports a possible recession, people panic and start a chain of events that actually cause a recession."
The same media that so often gets it wrong, economically, gives itself too much "credit" for what happens next.
That's something Trump finally got correct. A couple years ago he sent out a tweet about that exact same thing...How a recession is self-fulfilling the more and more people start to believe in it.
