I see a lot of comments saying there is nothing Trump can do. Well, that might be the case, but he ran on explicit promises of bringing down prices and addressing affordability. If he cant do it, he shouldn't have said he would do it. You cant blame Biden for Trump's own words coming back to bite him.
The antichrist in the White House doesn’t care what anyone thinks about anything. The impact of his big beautiful bill will not be felt until next year. The 30 percent that still support him will get their tax breaks and may or may not be better off than they were before they invested so much money in corrupting the electoral process to ensure the constitution was no longer the cornerstone of our country and we became a government of men not laws. It’s not the economy…in fact it never was…It’s the idea that equal protection under the law no longer exists. Citizens want a system that is fair…or at least tries to be.
It seems that the dictatorship push hasn't happened fast enough to shut down independent thought and criticism, so the political pendulum may be allowed to swing back. Hopefully the Democrats, if/when they get back in power, have the virtue to dismantle the assault on democracy instead of turning it to their own purposes.
how can he fix the damage Biden did? Biden permanently reset the the price for housing, labor, and Obama set the price for healthcare. What can he do to fix this?
For affordability, I don’t think there’s any lever in power that can un-do was done from 2020-2024. Both Trump 1 and Biden are largely responsible for that, but unless there is a large scale deflationary period (which would entail a crisis), then the only way to make things more affordable is to let wages increase naturally through higher demand and greater productivity.
Yes, and that message would be a different message rather than endlessly blaming prior administrations (which any president can do) and promising things that cant be delivered
Trump 1 had the large Covid stimulus, which is inherently inflationary, although it did much to help the US from falling into a large recession an therefore was very justified. Still, the artificial demand increase spurred inflation. However, that inflation was nothing close to Biden’s similar Covid stimulus, which just put money into a system that had already recovered and is responsible for 80% of the inflation for that time period.
I agree. Although affordability continues to be an issue, Trump doing any policy that would force prices to decrease would be very bad. In my estimation, the best he should do is severe deregulation so that innovation will help prices by increasing supply and optimizing supply chains.
I find it quite amusing that you chose to have a picture of trump "woke" at his cabinet meeting.

amen to that

I agree with the rest, but how is Trump 1 responsible for inflation in particular or “affordability” in general?
Trump 1 had the large Covid stimulus, which is inherently inflationary, although it did much to help the US from falling into a large recession an therefore was very justified.

Do you have an actual substantive point?
Inflation is now under control.
Deflation to return prices to previous levels would be a bad thing.
So are you simply suggesting that vibes work against reality? Especially when the press is relentlessly leftist, and has TDS to boot?
