[LeftofLeft]

Do I need to remind you of these FACTS:

The inflation problem was driven by Covid and it hit the entire world (Biden was not responsible for that)

I don’t believe Trump nor Biden were responsible for global inflation. That said, a President’s policies in response to inflation do have accountability. Biden’s oil policies for domestic energy companies only added costs for production which were passed onto the consumer.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Hyperbole?

You mean to say that the market dropping to the tune of $4 trillion loss is hyperbole?

You mean that Trump saying that he "could care less if Americans have to pay more for cars" is hyperbole?

You mean to say that TSLA dropping and causing Musk to lose $72 billion is hyperbole?

You mean to say that most people do not fear the consequences-to-come from tariffs, is hyperbole?

You are a total BS artists

Nope. Under joes regime it was exponentially worse but you weren't uttering a peep.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

THIS is SEETHING.

A ******* Russian asset TRAITOR.

Nope, you're wrong again.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Nope, you're wrong again. I'll not argue with liberal hacks such as yourself.

 

[Ace Nova]

As of now, The Dow Jones, The S & P 500, The Russell 2000 are up. The Nasdaq is down slightly.

 

[Ace Nova]

Nope. Under joes regime it was exponentially worse but you weren't uttering a peep.

I wouldn't say that.

The Dow Jones was at 30,900 when he took office and at 44,000+ when he left office.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

I wouldn't say that.

The Dow Jones was at 30,900 when he took office and at 44,000+ when he left office.

The Dow has been pumped with trillions of govt bucks. Its mainly a facade nowadays. You can keep pumping blood into the corpse but............its still dead.

Nope, you're wrong again.

You're FOS.......AGAIN.

US companies' tax windfall fuels record share buybacks​

AP News
https://apnews.com › article
Apr 4, 2019 — Companies in the S&P 500 spent $806 billion on stock buybacks in 2018, blowing away the previous record of nearly $590 billion set in 2007.


U.S. corporations spent a record amount buying back their own shares last year, using 2017’s tax-cut windfall to reward shareholders rather than to invest or expand their businesses.

Companies in the S&P 500 spent $806 billion on stock buybacks in 2018, blowing away the previous record of nearly $590 billion set in 2007. The information technology and financial service sectors were the biggest spenders, with Apple leading the pack. When share prices plunged in the fourth quarter it only encouraged companies to spend more, setting a fourth consecutive quarterly record for buybacks.


The practice has come under scrutiny by members of Congress, who criticized companies for using their extra tax benefits to boost the value of their own shares instead of investing in outside growth or their workers.


And Trump and his cult want to do the same thing.........All over again.

Nope. Under joes regime it was exponentially worse but you weren't uttering a peep.

You are now going to experience what is "exponentially worse".

Biden could have done better, but it was NOT all that bad, other than immigration (which was bad at the first 2 years of his presidency). A good amount of the "exponentially worse" idea was a con (scam). created by Trump. Facts do not support that statement.

No, the past four years of biden show those facts.

If you take the Covid inflation out (not Bidens fault), prove your words....................I DARE YOU to do it. If you don't, you are a blowhard and a Trump ass kisser.

April 2nd is on Wednesday. Trump picked that day instead of April 1st (April fool's day) so that people will take him seriously and his further chainsaw approach to the economy.

Anticipating this day has already been shown on what the market has done since he took office:

US stock market loses $4 trillion in value as Trump plows ahead on tariffs​

How American Billionaires Have Lost $400 Billion Since​

This Billionaire Is The Biggest Loser From $3.3 Trillion Trump Dump​

Shares of Musk's Tesla (TSLA) have lost $565 billion in value since Inauguration Day, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSurge. That's a bigger loss than suffered by any other S&P 500 company. And Musk is holding the biggest losses as he's the largest shareholder in the electric vehicle maker at 12.8% of the company. The value of Musk's position in Tesla alone dropped more than $72 billion — a larger loss than any other individual investor in S&P 500 stocks.

And now the axe comes down on all Americans:

President Donald Trump Says He 'Couldn't Care Less' About Higher Car Prices​

The president addressed the predicted impact of his auto tariffs amid concerns that prices could go up by thousands on cars

Here are some of the other products that Americans will be paying more for:

In addition,

Beer, Whiskey and Tequila
Houses
Maple Syrup
Fuel
Avocados

and here is what the previous big hero of the Conservative Republican party says about tariffs:



and Trump is the man chosen to make our lives better? Reality is that the normal American is the one that is going to pay the price.

You think things were bad under Biden and the Covid virus? Well, you are about to see how much worse this is going to be with Trump and the virus he brings:

Wrong.
Covid lowered prices, as people stopped spending as much because they stayed home more.
The inflation during Biden's term was caused by Biden blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline that increased the cost of oil world wide.

Jack Smith was in violation of the law.
He lied and claimed it was illegal for presidents to give themselves permanent copies of classified docs.

It is.

Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978 - National Archives​

National Archives (.gov)
https://www.archives.gov › presidential-libraries › laws
https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html#:~:text=The Presidential Records Act (PRA,beginning with the Reagan Administration).
The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, 44 U.S.C. ß2201-2209, governs the official records of Presidents and Vice Presidents that were created or received after January 20, 1981 (i.e., beginning with the Reagan Administration). The PRA changed the legal ownership of the official records of the President from private to public, and established a new statutory structure under which Presidents, and subsequently NARA, must manage the records of their Administrations.
They are public records, NOT private.

Then explain this chart

Then explain this AI generated statement:

The combined effects of increased demand for durables and shortages caused by supply-chain disruptions were the main source of inflation in the second quarter of 2021. Both the direct and indirect effects of those supply-chain problems remained substantial through the end of 2022

Or why there were 8 countries with higher inflation and 4 countries with 1% of the same inflation rate as the U.S.
