Trumpâs Biannual Disappearing Act: Earnings, Truth Vanish!
In the grand tradition of hiding bad news under the rug, President Trump pitched ending quarterly earnings reports to the SEC, proposing companies shout their financial secrets only twice a year. According to Sen. Elizabeth Warrenâthe Massachusetts dazzler who isnât buying the hustleâthis isnât about easing costs but about 'not wanting real numbers reported' because, surprise, the economyâs struggling. Trumpâs Monday idea promises savings and 'long-term thinking,' which probably includes time to sculpt more alternate facts. Warren called this a 'standard Trump trick': if you donât like the numbers, just make them rare sightings, like a unicorn or a quietly fired Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner. The White House fired back with a burn using Warrenâs Native American DNA controversy, because nothing screams SEC policy debate like genealogical insults. The U.S. has been quarterly since 1970, while Europe downgraded to biannual in 2015, as if less frequent financial check-ins inspire more long-term fake optimism. SEC might fast-track this nonsense thoughâafter all, who needs transparency when you have hashtag Pocahontas punches?

Quarterly earnings? Too frequent. Trump prefers financial reports on the half-shellâhalf the info, double the denial. Because if you canât fix the economy, just file it under 'see you next year.'
Cutting earnings reports to six months because hiding economic problems is apparently a classic business strategy, right? Investors might want full disclosure, not half the clues like a bad mystery novel.
Trumpâs plan to hide real numbers longer than your odd family secrets isnât about savingsâitâs a Magic 8 Ball answer to: 'Is the economy fine?' Spoiler: The answer isnât looking good.
