Things He promised and failure on how He delivered, those are more of a factor this time
I am thinking really hard right now. Remembering all the Presidents since I first voted in 1988....
Nope, none delivered on the bulk of their promises. Just unleft items for the next election cycle. Crumbling infrastructure has been a real thing, in election cycles for 30+ years.
The current admin, to me, has at least attempted to follow through on promises. Many of these struck down due to political games being played by partisan judges. I guess that doesn't matter to you. Got them glasses on.

You are wrong as usual.
They are a major cost.

This is true; however the cost of everything is much higher than people can afford. Trump has some blame in this due to his decisions during COVID including PPP money where most businesses didn’t need it. That started the inflation and Biden made it much worse. We need wages to catch up but that will take a long time. Unfortunately I think we’ll continue to see credit card debt skyrocket.

There will not be deflation, nor do you want to see it. The best opportunity is real wage growth that provides relative affordability improvements.

Everything you just typed is largely irrelevant to inflation and the price of goods and services, it’s almost like you deflect because you are ignorant. Tax cuts don’t lower prices, they give you more money back to increase demand. Family values? Less government spending would lower the inflation rate, umm how stupid are you? You will get your wish and your stupidity will come crashing down

People love repeating this. Deflation is not always bad. Especially when you take on price increases in four years that would have otherwise taken 20-30. If you want the gap between goods and wages to close then it would require some deflation.

Correct, deflation caused by a shrinking of the money supply through government policies would be a necessary evil and a net positive in the long run. Most people are referring to deflation caused by cratering demand and economic growth which would be a bad thing. The only way we are ever going to get economic recovery is through massive decreases in debt and government spending but it’s never going to happen

Millions of immigrants, many producing nothing, others as out and out leeches grifting off the taxpayers. They are given money for food and housing and medical care. This is competition for scarce items driving up costs. 20 million let in by Biden.
The people have forgotten who and what triggered inflation. Trump overpromised that he would lower prices. The best that can be done is to increase wages and lower inflation.
As the new manufacturing facilities are being built and higher paying jobs result things will look better to people but that takes time.

Rhetoric?
Maybe don’t say on day 1 do this or that.. say what you mean and mean what you say. It matters.

Well shite, this would be long if I kept going
So which one of these puts more into our economy than taking out?

Promises made, promises kept.
Also notice the states where inflation is highest. They are mostly run by democrats.
Posted on 2/14/26 at 3:43 pm to Rip Torner
Agreed. I do think some pullback on demand would be good. Look at vehicles for example, people continue buying vehicles they can’t afford with longer finance terms etc. It would be better if that would stop forcing auto makers to lower prices. I can’t imagine how leveraged most households actually are.

Well then, job cuts, not gov employees, manufacturing down bc of tarrifs, lack of confidence in spending. Higher prices for electricity/natural gas, housing and childcare does.
Who is working on that?

This right here disqualifies everything else you say.

Since all three of these are down in most of tUSA, I see you care not for truth so that also disqualifies everything you say.
