I heard Trump is supposed to turn down any gifts from foreign governments. He should just eat his brown bag lunch instead.

Because people are not spending as much being in midst of Trump chaos

CPI is a price index, it doesn’t measure consumption. You are over your skis.

Supply and demand, Econ 101. Lower demand with ~same supply. People are waiting to ride out the Trump chaos, travel has plummeted from Canada, people expect recession. Prices are not going to go up as they would otherwise.

So business is unable to pass tariffs onto consumers.

HHusky · May 13

RR told you that tariffs will appear to work initially.

Consumer sentiment is in the toilet.

So explain your team's economic approach under the dementia patient. Less supply same or growing demand. Bring in 12+ million illegals and then blame rising rent prices on evil landlords. Same with gasoline and electricity. Trillions in new investment in the US sounds like chaos for those leftards on Team Chicom.

Inflation was well down from any historic norm; the same numbers that drew criticism under Biden draw praise now. And we had a bipartisan border bill ready to go. The girls on TeamDaddy ignore what happened next.

Team AOG doesn't do economics, science, math or history. Your lame attempt to play the Econ 101 card was a complete failure. Your Team thought that Milton Friedman was no longer in charge. Like you could repeal gravity.

HHusky · May 13

I said inflation would remain low initially. Perhaps you'll kill consumer spending and inflation will stay low. And GDP will appear to rebound this quarter too.

But, you should definitely get your excuses ready for the end of the year.

You try to win arguments using whataboutisms and straw men. I explained why inflation isn't going up. I'm not here to fucking defend the whole Biden era, which is not "my team" anyway, unless you mean I'm not MAGA.
