re: It’s obvious Trump and his team Do Not know how to run this economy

It was 3% without a trade war when Trump took office.

and dropping.

Trump instituted tariffs, it stopped dropping and started rising.

Wonder how all those redditors who totally owned stocks and sold them all off in April feel now?

Haha. I made a nice chunk on Amazon and Lulu on that one. Just need my accountant to offset those gaaaiiinnsss

I've been repeatedly assured the last 4 years that the President does not control the stock market.

I'm on record for not being a fan of how the tariffs were rolled out. But there is absolutely no comparison to be made between what the dems have done to the economy this century versus what Trump and his team accomplished in his first term by simply getting out of the way of regulating businesses to hell and back like the dems have a long history of doing. He unleashed the American entrepreneur and I'm forever grateful for that opportunity.

PS: Our sales are up 41.11% YoY. We've had one down year since we opened a little over 8 years ago. Wanna guess who was potato in chief when it happened? This is already our best year ever and every order pushes that higher and higher. I can not be a fan of his tariff rollout while acknowledging that something shifted in our clients approach and it was to our benefit.

Stock Market isn't the economy. Companies are laying people off, inflation is still high and grocery prices remain little changed sans eggs.

I remember several months ago that Scotty B (Scott Bessent) predicted that the stock market would hit 50

Might happen, and we still get stagflation.

Unemployment and inflation are both still rising.

quote:

---

Stagflation is an economic condition characterized by slowing economic growth, high unemployment, and rising prices (inflation) simultaneously.

Stagflation is an economic nightmare, both for those who live through it and the policymakers called on to solve it. This rare economic condition defies the conventional economics that links inflation with economic booms and falling prices with recessions.

We have a dual economy, the income and the wealth economy. IF you dont have investments, you are fricked in this environment.

And rising.

And the cpi was lower than expected this morning almost guaranteeing an interest rate decrease.

This 2nd term is master level trolling. He’s got the media all worked up about the East Wing while his people can focus on actual important shite
