Requires constant downward revision ?
Well, let's look at the owebumaManiaMedia GDP reporting template...
First all newsrooms meet and possibly collude with other newsrooms.
Then the matter of how best to show owebuma's economic numbers in the best light to make owebuma look the best.
Next, report the rosiest possible GDP projection.
When the actual GDP number comes out and is a massive downward revision as well as a massive embarrassment to owebuma...
Bury the truth...

If a conservative is president, do the exact opposite of the owebuma GDP reporting template.
