Never going to happen in the current partisan political climate which is the fault of both dems and GOP.

The dems have been the ones guilty of too little carrot, and no balls as well. Their policy is dictated by not getting anyone mad at us. Current dems make Obama look like he was a raging conservative.

Quote of the year material.

The usual libs around here don’t see that. The Dem party has moved so far left in the past decade that it’s unrecognizable and a threat to western culture.

Dems aren't in power. Let's not pretend we have to jump from no carrot, no stick to all stick, little carrot.

That's what the markets rejected, btw. Why we're on TACO Plan S-5.4

Its been that way for awhile so again, until the political climate changes I we will just have to deal with whatever the current party in powers does.

It's not the political climate. This is personal leadership style and desire for continuity.

Businesses and the markets crave that continuity

So we have low inflation, tax cuts staying, record high stock market, low unemployment and a healthy economy under Trump and “markets crave more”.

We haven’t even started cutting rates yet for this cycle. The economy is going to boom when those rate cuts kick-in.

Trump runs the economy like a business.

[HDGristle]

Oof, he bankrupted a few of those. Let's hope he doesn't run it like a Casino.

Ironically, I think we have more to thank Jerome Powell to thank for the current situation than Trump... so Thank You J. Powell for being the adult in this economy we desperately need.

“The U.S. and Japan finalized a trade deal on July 23, 2025, setting a 15% tariff on Japanese exports, including autos, down from a threatened 25%, while Japan committed to investing $550 billion in the U.S. and opening its markets to American cars, trucks, rice, and agricultural products. The agreement, described as a boost for both economies, aims to create jobs and strengthen supply chains in sectors like semiconductors and pharmaceuticals”

Lol. He's failed at every business venture he's ever taken on, and he was only able to fail at all those ventures because of a $400M loan from daddy. trump is the last fucking guy we need "running the economy like a business".

In July 2025, the U.S. and Indonesia reached a trade deal reducing U.S. tariffs on Indonesian goods from a threatened 32% to 19%, the lowest among ASEAN nations. Indonesia will eliminate tariffs on 99% of U.S. exports, including agricultural, industrial, and tech products, and commit to buying $15 billion in U.S. energy, $4.5 billion in agricultural products, and 50 Boeing jets. The agreement includes rules to prevent transshipment of Chinese goods, labor rights protections, and digital trade reforms.

It is the political climate because it is the same no matter who is in office. Theyve been talking immigration reform for 15 years.

Ive noticed you dont like to listen too well, only try to prove your point that Trump sucks.

[tommy156]

Well, trump unquestionably fucking sucks, so...

The future will show if this is as great as Trump says
