Want more inflation? Vote Trump!

[firegiver]

Dude - Joe Bidens and Obama dministration pitted Americans against each other more than any previous administration.

Obama was the race divider in chief and the architect of DEI poison.

Biden was vaccine passports and arresting political opponents.

Spare us the dividing talk.

In what way was Obama a race divider? List an actual example.

Biden arrested political opponents? I'm pretty sure he was too senile to do that. If you are talking about the cases brought against Trump from various DA offices, I think you are making very simple a complex situation. But thats easier for you to believe. The constant manufactured grievances of a Trump supporter justifies voting for a billionaire, who has by all accounts, lived a greedy, shitty life where he screws people over to gain wealth and power.

I understand why people voted for someone to 'shake things up', but the self delusion that Trump is a good person or that he's going to help you in any way, is hilarious.

He was too senile to arrest political opponents, but lucid enough to pardon his own son and many other violent criminals.

So what is it, lucid or senile? Democrats want to pick and choose what Biden is capable of. They are a mess.

What does coming back look like? Would we need to agree that pathological lying, divisiveness, chaos, inciting insurrections and incompetence are good qualities for a President?

Bidens ending inflation statistics

Joe was a piece of trash for 50 years. He worked against the American people to benefit himself and his family. He didn't win the election in 2020, but was "selected". I'm kinda 50/50 on this one. Does he get exposed, or does it get let go so we can we can move forward.

Funny how those imaginary things you believe about Joe weren't uncovered in the two full years Comer Pyle and Co. spent investigating him with the full power of Congress. And we know you you don't have any proof either because you're just a dummy who believes Catturd and Insurrection Barbie.

Trump’s Plan to Supercharge Inflation

Voters believe Trump would handle the economy better than Biden. Economists think differently.

Biden's ability to govern was limited as autopen was worn out so we don’t really know who was signing documents

It's a fair criticism to say that Trumps tariffs MAY cause inflation. But one thing is for certain, prices have come down under this administration.


CPI comes in lower than expected this morning.





Inflation comes in lower than expected at 2.4% - CNBC

Consumer price inflation eased more than expected in March as President Donald Trump prepared to launch tariffs against U.S. trading partners, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday.

The consumer price index, a broad measure of goods and services costs across the U.S. economy, fell 0.1% in March, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.4%.

Excluding food and energy, so-called core inflation ran at a 2.8% annual rate, having increased 0.1% for the month. That was the lowest rate for core inflation since March 2021.

Funny what happens when the economy slows down

Yeah, that happens when you remove the dopamine. It was being pumped up like an artificial chicken. Still is. Doesn't matter too much, as value is value and it will get sorted out one way or another. The longer value is distorted, the more drastic the mean reversion.

I do agree tariffs destroy value. It's why i hope all these countries negotiate to an even playing field. On an even playing field, America wins.

Tariffs are a negotiating tool. But if you get an irrational actor, who knows how China will respond, then instead of both people winning, both people will lose. The idea is to get to an even playing field.

The rational thing would be for China to come to the table. They are "winning" in trade with us. They will still be better off by coming to the table than not coming to the table. XI risks death if he doesn't come to the table in my humble opinion. Thats how failed dictators are removed from office historically.

So admittedly Trump is taking a big risk with the economy. There is no guarantee it will work. Something needed to be done. So, let's let him cook and see what happens. So far, so good.

Trump didn’t care that the stock market was crashing. Bond yields were the ‘pain point’ that finally got him to pause tariffs

An alarming spike in 10-year Treasury yields finally persuaded Trump to act on tariffs.

I saw this article and thought about you. Seems like The Bond market might actually be the metric Trump watches the most, which makes sense when you consider his primary work experiences is real estate investment using financing.

Trump has a massive win with China and XE now isolated on a financial island.

China has no choice but, in the end, to come to the table.

Of course, there will be bluster and chest beating, but Trump killed it the world in regard to getting free trade on the agenda.

I am laughing all the way to working on my wife's new chicken coop building LOL

What a man must do for a lady to keep her happy

BTW @fatpiggy want to make it clear I am just a modest investor, but last week I suggested in a few posts that NOW was the time to buy into the market with any spare cash.

My son does some day trading but has not lately as he was doing with Treasury Bonds

Anyway, point is my family dumped in what we could and used MAG 7 as primary.

So, when everyone was running for the hills panicked, we racked up a few dollars

Probably will close out positions and pay regular taxes just to keep a cash position

On another note, people complaining about Elon Musk need to shut up as he paid 11 BILLION YES BILLION in taxes last year.

Have a great day and now to the chicken yard and building that new Chicken Taj Mahal for wifey

Soctt Bessent told us this a couple weeks ago, I wasn’t smart enough to figure it out myself. I am smart enough to see that Bessent is a very successful macro economic guy. He fully understands macro economics and I would suggest listening to him. (He is a Charleston guy too. And gay. And no one cares because he is the best man for the job)

But yes the 10 year going higher is very concerning. I think it was solely China dumping their treasuries although there are conflicting reports.

Anywho, Trump has an end game in mind, and he is relying on very smart people in their respective sectors on how to get things accomplished.

I was very impressed with Lutnick and Bessent.

Bessent gives me high confidence. His is highly qualified.
