President Donald Trump leaked disastrous economic data in a typo-filled social media post on Friday.

In a Truth Social tirade 40 minutes before his Commerce Department released the latest growth domestic product figures, Trump sought to deflect blame for the economy cooling.

The latest figures showed that U.S. economic growth slowed to an annual rate of 1.4 per cent - well below expectations and a significant drop from the previous quarter’s 4.4 per cent pace.

His solution will be to stop gathering and reporting the data.
