I am going to give President Trump the same length of time to improve the economy as the length of time required for you and your kind to quit being disingenuous with all things POTUS and the average hard working American.

2-3 years to see noticeable change. 4 years to get closer to where we should be. Going to take closer 8 years of sticking with the direction for it to really get ingrained as successful.

As long as he is increasing energy production and decreasing spending and printing, he can have as long as he wants.

What is it exactly that those of you who say this expect to see?

The Biden administration set an all time record for domestic oil production, beating the previous record set by Trump, who beat the previous record set by Obama, who beat the previous record set by Bush.

I'm sure we will break the Biden record. Because it's been trending that way for 25 years. Regardless of whether we have a POTUS who chants "Drill, Baby, Drill" or who bloviates about getting off fossil fuel and denies leases and permits.

Doesn't seem to make any difference.

I'll tell you why I think it doesn't. Because technological advances are what is driving the increased output—not policy—and the oil producers are only going to supply so much oil anyway, no matter what.

There's not going to be $1.50 a gallon gas no matter what Trump does or says. The producers don't want the price that low, so no matter what the POTUS does, the industry will artificially limit supply to keep that from happening.

The price of oil isn't going to change substantially for the next four years either.

4 years. But I think it's beyond his ability to fix. What this country needs to overhaul our economy is beyond the current congress and senates ability. They are incapable of doing what needs to be done. IMO.

2 years to start seeing inflation level off and GDP to be healthy again . Because that’s how long it will take minimum.

DOGE work will directly improve the economy.

If the government is spending less then inflation will go down.

More than five months...and, inflation does not work that way. It is highly unlikely that prices, overall, will go down. Rather, the rate of inflaction will slow. Irrespective of if Trump fixes it or not, we do know that Biden/Harris/Walz would have done nothing but make it worse. So, we are much better off regardless...

I am giving President Trump free rein. I am hoping his actions are showing their benefits within about three years.

Explain to me like I am a 2 year old what exactly you mean by this. Can you give me 5 bullet points?

So far, from what I have seen:
- My Grocery has actually gone down a little
- My dog's dogfood was $18.99 and now it is $16.59
- I just put gas in my car and it was $2.54/Gallon
- My Chipolte Chicken Bowl with rice and a side of chips was $12.84, yesterday the exact same thing that I always order was $11.79
- My car insurance went down $12.00 from last month

- EVERYBODY I KNOW IS HAPPY AS HELL WITH DONALD TUMP AND THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNTRY

Please, I beg, give me 5 examples on how Trump has started off with a rocky start.

It would take 10years for that to happen even if Trump managed to make real wages grow 2% faster than inflation, and that would be remarkable.

The relative impoverishment of Americans is due to our politicians spending too much; it’s not going to be fixed soon, and it might never be.

after the midterms

Trump doesn't have that much time. If shite doesn't improve by November, 2026, the House could very easily switch parties, and then there goes the purse.

He's got a good running start at it this time, but he needs to start to address the major spending problems with the entitlement programs instead of just nibbling around the edges.
