even the report says "not by alot,but enough to show"

so the "big bad horrible" inflation causing bullshit that was predicted because of tarriffs never happened

stay hungry

You'll be sure to let us know when trump will be "lowering prices starting on day one", won't you?

Also, inflation takes time to catch up to policy. There was never going to be an immediate spike because of the tariffs. And truth be told, if he hadn't chickened out of his tariff threats so many times, prices would be even higher now.

The fucking clown has no idea what he's doing, and he will never be able to lower prices on anything by imposing tariffs. That's not how tariffs work.

Funny part is, he's learning all this in real time, which is why he keeps dangling the carrot, then pulling it back. Hence, TACO trump.

The even funnier part is that anyone who knows anything about economics was trying to tell him this way before the shitshow started. But, trump always acts first and listens never. It's all been so predictably embarrassing.

You guys keep going to an inflation discussion. That’s a different but valid discussion. Looking at strictly the market, Trump is doing ok.
Now the dow is above 46,000! Cha-ching!

I agree. If you understand how to play the Trump "game" it's easy to make money in the market.
The thing is Trump has nothing to do with the market going up, except maybe pressuring the fed to lower rates. Just like most other presidents, unless the do something dramatic.

But if it goes down it's his fault?

Stephen Moore, yes, THAT Stephen Moore, wrote a great opinion piece in the journal today regarding tariffs and the impact on U.S. jobs? You see it?
