Are there any (at least mildly) explicit counterexamples to the statement $$ \sum_{m \in \mathbb{Z}} \|P_m f\|_p \lesssim \|f\|_p? $$ (Or some good reason to expect this to be false?). Here $P_m$ is the $m$-th Littlewood-Paley projection, that is $$ \widehat{P_m f} = \psi_m \widehat{f} $$ with $\psi_m(\xi) = \psi(\xi/2^m)$, $\psi(\xi) = \phi(\xi)-\phi(2\xi)$ and $\phi$ is a real radial Schwartz function supported on the closed centered ball of radius $2$ and which equals $1$ on the closed centered ball of radius $1$. $P_m$ being (initially at least) defined for Schwartz functions. *Edit: Of course, I am interested in the non-trivial case $p \neq 2$.*
