Trump needs to get back to hammering Kamala on the economy. Crap is still way too expensive. That is a winning issue that cuts through emotions.

shite’s going to collapse at some point. The Dems are going to try and pull the same shite they did after the Dot Bomb in 2000 and claim it was Trump naysaying a strong economy and not pointing out massive fricking warning signs caused by bad Dem policy.

Her?

Also, what are current CC, vehicle, homeowner delinquency rates? Is the current stress on the states ability to provide services for the immigrants?

As dumb as it is, it feels like voters are gonna give Kamala more of a pass on the economy and this attack line isn’t going to work near as well as it did with Biden.

This is truly dishonest.

And, I bet you don't know that inflation going down doesn't mean that prices go down, do you?

Right now he is working on the black vote about the illegals and linking Kamala with the border invasion and illegals taking over neighborhoods in black communities

Everybody knows the economy is fricked because people see it whenever they have to pay for shite.

Is this not how you move manufacturing back to the US? Is this not how you create jobs?

Or did you want to let China continue to pay nothing by sending their vehicles via Mexico?

Sir, this is absolutely false.

The June 2024 nationwide average for ground beef was only 38.48% higher than the average for 2020.

The current average per pound price for pork is up only 36.69%.

Forty percent...pshh.

Sure, but tariffs would accomplish this by raising production costs and therefore consumer prices, especially in the short-to-medium term.

I'm all for re-shoring and friend-shoring for the very reasons you stated. But let's not pretend that it won't be inflationary. Everything has a cost. If inflation is your primary concern, you should be opposed to tariffs. If, on the other hand, your primary goal is to rebuild our manufacturing base, then you need to shut the frick up about inflation for a while.
