The 5% cheaper groceries will be a gigantic help when your income drops by 100%

Trump can’t magically reduce prices. A lot of his followers think Trump has magical powers, but he doesn’t.

You realize if he can get enact free market social neo-fascism, that he’d absolutely be able to control the prices, right?

For those posting on this thread who went to college, did you ever take any Economics courses? If you had, you would know that the United States, over the last 75 years, has only had 2 years of declining prices, 1949 and 1954. You would also know that no President can control prices to the extent that you would see any period longer than a year of price decreases. As to the claim that Drill, baby, Drill would bring all prices down, oil companies will not cut their own throat by flooding the market to bring oil prices down.

Check the link from Investopedia.

increased the money supply by 40% in two years. Spending has been through the roof for four years or so.

Have to get spending under control and government's share of GDP down first.

In the aggregate? Yes.

Usually happens during catastrophic economic meltdowns. That’s what some posters claim they want.

Itll literally take the entire term to stop the bleeding. He cant just take back investment firms swollowing and artificially inflating the real estate sector. It'll cost tons of money to deport bidens pay to win voters he flooded the country with. We've been set up with the worst geopolitical situation you can imagine. I could go on and on but if we broke even on this term, it would make trump a monster of a president. The fricking democrats have us literally nose diving as a country, there is no bright future, just praying it doesn't get fricking worse. Welcome to modern day, a production of the weak and cowardly human beings that shouldn't have a fricking word to speak among the intelligent and strong.

Weak men, hard times, but I can't emotionally invest in the idea that the pendulum is swinging back without collapse and war until I see some evidence. The geopolitical state is chaos, its REAL bad, and demorats would cheer for that chaos as long as they can blame it on trump, when it was entirely orchestrated by the endless corruption of the left.
