Trump says economy is strong, but Americans should buy fewer dolls​

The U.S. economy has shown signs of resilience with the stock market up this year and overall growth looking solid for the third quarter. But many Americans see the prices of housing, groceries, education, electricity and other basic needs as swallowing up their incomes, a dynamic that the Trump administration has said it expects to fade next year with more investments in artificial intelligence and manufacturing.

So far, the public has been skeptical about Trump's economic performance. Just 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's handling of the economy, according to a November survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

But Trump indicated that his tariffs and other policies were helping industries such as the steel sector. He said those industries mattered for the country as he then specifically told Americans that they should buy fewer pencils and dolls from overseas.

"You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter," he told the crowd. "Two or three is nice."

So.......the trump formula, as described in his rally speech yesterday, for fighting persistent inflation is for consumers to cut back on spending. You don't need to be a graduate of a renown business school like Wharton to know what happens to an economy, an economy largely founded on consumption, when people begin to spend less.

Lou Heddy, a retired maintenance mechanic who voted for Trump last year, said he's noticed in the past month alone that his and his wife's grocery bills have risen from $175 to $200, and he's not sure Trump can bring food prices down.

"Once the prices get up for food, they don't ever come back down. That's just the way I feel. I don't know how the hell he would do it," said Heddy, 72. (Hey Lou, neither does he)

It wasn't the only sign of an elderly man struggling to connect with reality.

The president repeatedly confused slowing inflation down with bringing down prices — which would be deflation, with its own risks. “Our prices are coming down tremendously,” he insisted, before wandering off topic. Later, he said that “inflation is stopped.” His own Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that as of September, inflation was running close to 3 percent, almost exactly where it was at the end of the Biden administration.

Mr. Trump came armed with a raft of statistics carefully selected to make his case, and blamed Mr. Biden for leaving him “the highest inflation in history.” But then he acknowledged that Susie Wiles, his chief of staff, told him recently, “We have to start campaigning, sir.” (Inexplicably, the president called Ms. Wiles “Susie Trump.”)

I don't need to point out what some folks would be saying about Biden if he referred to his chief of staff with his own surname. Or could not differentiate between lowering inflation and lower prices. But they wouldn't be calling him a stable genius.

Berg is another leftwinger who doesn't understand inflation can ONLY be caused by government spending. And the Big Beautiful Bill addresses that starting January 1.

Well sure, you're dumb. Thats the kind of thing shallow, dumb people like.

What a stupid lie. Why do you even bother?

I really find it hard to believe that voters are going to believe Trump's insulting bullshit, when they had just come from the grocery store when they get to the polling place.

But then again, who knows.

You can easily convince people they are worse off than they are… everyone wants to think they are a martyr… but it’s impossible to convince a meaningful number of people they are better off than they are. If he does that i will be impressed. So far he’s failing miserably at it

see you have no idea of what was being talked about when you jumped in......you are cluless...so typical of you.....and i lived among and worked with just about every Hispanic person there is.....were you got what you said ill never know....

 

[citygator]

Dude, your TDS is getting really old

I don't know your financial situation but if you're not better off now than you were under Spuds you're either welfare or clueless

If you didn’t amass a ton of wealth under Biden you were a free loading social security recipient complaining on the internet. I doubled my personal wealth that was already doing well.

And it’s still growing under Bone Spurs too,.

Oh no!

EvilCat Breath just admitted that last year they were lying when they said Biden made prices too high and they would bring prices down. Groceries Trump bragged won him the election. The high cost of groceries. Remember he said that?

So the fact that things are more expensive now than they were last year, is a huge black eye on Trump. And his tariffs caused it. He wants to blame Biden? I think Trump has BDS don't you?

They made a HUGE deal about inflation last year and blamed it all on Joe. It wasn't all Joe's fault. Joe was getting us out of the inflation caused by the Trump regime and covid, supply chains, Trump's stimulus checks he sent out, etc. Biden had to spend to get us out of it. And raise interest rates. He didn't cry like a ***** like Trump is when the Feds raised interest rates. There's a reason they do that Donald you dumb ******. And all your supporters. Idiots.

Probably plenty of blame to go around. The short definition of inflation is this; too much money chasing too few goods. Stimulus checks do that regardless of who signed them. History shows the blob sent out $400 more than Biden in terms of Covid spending and gave away a lot more taxpayer money to industries he favored.

What is unquestionably true is that we import less because of tariffs, we produce less because of mass deportations, and we buy less as a result which leads to less imports and less production. That is all on the blob.

dont be shocked you have been called worse here...

 

[sealybobo]

The biggest criminals in my area are the police, not the illegals.

The police are constantly getting caught dealing drugs, having sex with minors, and other crimes.

Maybe we should deport them.

Replace the word police with Republican and your post is still 100% true

so who would call bobo if you got robbed?....

 

[sealybobo]

so who would call bobo if you got robbed?....

The police. I didn’t say anything about my local police.

He was talking about the police in his area. Maybe they are corrupt. Like those DC cops who wouldn’t let the peaceful mob in on Jan 6. Bad cops. You do acknowledge some cops are bad right?

Like cops in blue cities. Clearly they are either corrupt or stupid right? Or are their hands tied by democratic mayors?
