That same definition applied to when the Trump administration caused a brief recession in 2020 due to the lockdowns, with the media screaming at him for that.

When I see the current administration which especially the media said that 'they should be doing much better' than the last one, trying to escape by changing definitions, and dodging the hard questions, everyone can tell that it is going to get worse and they knew it would, and the numbers don't lie.

Thus, given that almost all politicians are liars and have spin-doctors distorting reality, should we listen to everything they say? No. A dose of skepticism on what they are 'telling' us will unveil the bullshit that they are saying vs what is happening in reality.
