Trump Administration Predictions (25 Viewers)

The big question is what's the reason for congressional republicans and several appointees turning against Trump? Did Elon Musk light the fuse? Or was it the big beautiful bill, the tariffs, the massive gov worker layoffs? Are constituents threatening to not vote for congressional republicans in the midterms?

Trump managed to do a bunch of unpopular things. He increased the deficit, increased taxes with his illegal tariffs and cut programs voters actually cared about. He also undermined Federal institutions such as the FBI, ignored court orders and extorted money from private universities.

What is really amazing is that most congressional Republicans have gone along with this. I guess they never actually believed in the stuff they said they did.

Unless government employment is reported separately from non-government, you will be seeing a skewed picture since government employment is down a lot and that is by design.

Are all the undocumented workers who did the grunt jobs in America, and were deported, included in the labor reports?

I believe so but they are not identified as such.

Those working off the books jobs were not counted. Some undocumented were working under false SSN's are including in employment statistics. Some deported were under various temporary statuses or even work visas and therefore included in employment figures.

Why are you so interested in lower interest rates? Do you want more inflation?

Trump has always been a big debtor, so it no surprise he wants inflation.

Interest can contribute to Inflation for sure but lower interest rates can also stimulate a sluggish economy. And that my friend would be devastating for the left. A humming economy, lower crime, new stock market highs all bad news for dems.

How did the economy get to be sluggish? Things were going pretty well in 2023 & 2024 after the COVID crisis. We had a humming economy, lower crime and new stock market highs.

By the way, Jerome Powell is a Republican.
 
It's all about perception, who's perceived as doing the best job while being in office. The country spoke on basement Joe and his open border czar Myorkis.

Are you saying that actual strong economy didn't matter to you? All you want is a perception of a strong economy.

Trump did a better job at describing the issues middle America were experiencing. The message was clear and straightforward. Basement Joe, not so much.
 
Biden singlehandedly imploded the democrat party within hours of being sworn in. He did exactly what Trump predicted, he fell into the border trap.

Trump knows he can manipulate the dems by being for something or against it.

It's like Pavlov dog, the dems respond by salivating.

Even more importantly he knows he can manipulate republicans. We won't insult anyone by saying why.

He certainly manipulated the republican base, they followed, and now they're pissed at him because they feel things are heading in the wrong direction.

So you are aware that the economy was doing fine under Biden. And you also seem to aware of the problems raised by Trump's actions. So what exactly do you want?

Do you identify with this quote from the Batman movie "Some people just want to watch the world burn" ?

No, that's what I see the knuckle heads on the left doing.

In the last election the economy wasn't the driving factor for most of us like minded folks. The border and related issues were.

It might be the issue going forward, we'll have to see.

It will continue to take time for tariff increases to work their way through supply chains and distribution networks

And that, which you acknowledge, is precisely why prices won't simply go up in a way that corresponds exactly to tariffs, as you continue to assume.
by "working their way" through the supply chain, what you really mean is those tariff prices being absorbed by various people in the chain until the retailer is finally presented with their price, in which case they may or may not pass it all on to the consumer.
As Target CEO recently said, Price adjustment is the last resort and only one way of mitigating tariff prices.
This is getting too obvious to even discuss any more - you can see by way of many evidences that you're wrong; you just keep repeating the same nonsense
