How soon after Trump is elected does the economy right itself?

In order to decrease Inflation you are going to have to stop giving Illegal Aliens US Taxpayer money for food and shelter and deport them. The extra demand will not be removed unless they are.

Yeah...and that is not being negative about Trump

Anything positive that happens right now will ramp up inflation.

Curbing inflation is going to cause economic belt tightening.

Stagflation is on the way

Yep. Best thing short-term is we know he is business friendly and should give companies confidence to make investments.

With the number of rate cuts expected by the Fed, we’re probably looking at a recession through most of 2025, no matter who wins.

Don't forget, if Dems lose, people behind the scenes will create crisis - economic, a virus, a war, etc.

It's gonna get worse before it gets better. There is no immediately turning it around. The only way out of it is going to be painful.

This. I'm pretty sure that the left are fine losing because they know we have an inevitable crash coming, and they would be happy to have a Republican in office to blame it on.

Exactly.

They're going to do some form of an "autopsy" after they lose, and then move towards the middle with moderate candidates for 2028 to get 8 years post-Trump.

Would not even shock me if they're already working on the "it's the economy stupid" campaign for 2026 and the midterms.

Let's assume you're right. How is that not going to lead to immediate runaway inflation?

We have a world of shite waiting for us at some point. Biden put a bandaid on it and kicked the can, but it can only go so far. It's highly likely the can cannot be kicked any further during Trump's new administration.

There is no easy fix. We have a lot of pent up inflation that needs (requires?) a major recession. Any attempt to thwart that major recession will likely trigger inflation.

There are small measures that can lower the cost of doing business (more petro production, some regulatory reform), but it's not big enough to fix the hole we've dug since 2009.

*ETA: this is non-partisan. Biden kicking can isn't a good thing. It was done for political purposes. There is no fix.
