Inflation Continues to Boom - Thanks Trump!

[Dekster]

They can't afford the diesel.

Californians driving across the midlands can tow them to DC with their Teslas. Allons enfant de la patrie; Le jour de gloire est arrivé !!!

I, for one, am glad Trump is obsessing about his ballroom, fountains, and arch. It distracts him from screwing even more things up. As for inflation, it is what it is. You cannot give away trillions of dollars to the dirty masses and expect it to not make the rich richer and cost of everything to go up. a big chunk of it is the coattails of COVID. The tariffs and inflation help to pull that currency out of wider circulation and deposits it in the stockmarket where it props up an economic system that has been out of whack for a very long time.

I'm going to be amused watching the board's liberal chorus react when oil prices dip down sharply as the Iran war comes to a close. You DO realize that's going to happen? Right? So what are you going to run on in November? The "forever war" that has already come to a close? All of the liberal policies that have turned Democrat controlled cities into cesspools? Reopening the border?

Oh, and kiddies? I hate to break this to you but the majority of the benefits to our economy coming from "The Big Beautiful Bill" will be kicking in late summer...early fall...which means we should see historically good numbers right before the election! And we should also have five more months watching New York and Seattle show us what happens when you let the left run things!

Yee haw! It's gonna be a humdinger!!!

Live that dream.

Live that dream.

Oh, I will be, Zinc and I'll be here watching you live your worst nightmare! Trump succeeding? The country prospering? The world a safer place? Oh the HORROR!!! LOL

 

[Zincwarrior]

and I'll be here watching you live your worst nightmare!

Dude thats not even in top 1,000 of my worst nightmares. It doesn't come close to goldfish taking over the world.

 

[Man With A Plan]

The left has a little over 5 months to come up with some way to cripple our economy and make the Middle East erupt in conflict. They know they're screwed if the economy is booming and peace breaks out in the Middle East! Any ideas on that Kiddies?

You think goldfish are going to take over the world? That's your big nightmare? LOL Well, that explains a lot!

 

[Zincwarrior]

No. I said its a bigger nightmare. Unless there are clowns its not even in the top 100.

The problem for you of course, is that it will take 5+ months for prices to return, and inflation is just now starting to flow through the entire chain.

Then MAGA gets to explain why.

 

[Man With A Plan]

No. I said its a bigger nightmare. Unless there are clowns its not even in the top 100.

C'mon, Zinc...admit it! You're on your knees every night praying for the Iranian regime to hold on until after the election! Every negative story about the war gives you hope...every story about US/Israeli success throws you into depression! I'll bet you were ecstatic over the looming Virginia redistricting only to have that snatched away by the Virginia Supreme Court ruling it unconstitutional. How bad did THAT hurt, Little Buddy? And then the US Supreme Court ruling against the racial carve outs that have kept Democrats like Jim Clyburn in office for decades? All that work you on the left put in to Gerrymander your way to a House majority? All THAT did was piss off the Republicans into returning the favor in States they control...which means some long time Democrats in previously almost bulletproof districts are now going to be fighting for their political lives!

You have an active imagination. I imagine by the midterms Trump will have bailed from Iran, leaving the world on the hook, and already attacked Cuba or Greenland or Leichtenstein or some damn place.

Imagine THIS, Zinc! Iran's economy is so bad the people finally rise up and throw out the mullahs and the IRGC. The Shah returns to Iran. It becomes an ally of the west and no longer sponsors Hamas, Hezbollah or the Houthis, all of which wither up and die. Real peace comes to the Middle East for the first time in fifty years! The UAE leaves OPEC and then Oman and then several other members. OPEC no longer can keep oil prices artificially high.
In South America, Venezuela oil industry starts booming due to investments from US oil companies. Their citizens, freed from the chains of socialism start to experience prosperity they haven't seen in decades.
Because of what's happened in the Middle East and in Venezuela the price of oil drops meaning Putin no longer has the funds to continue his war against Ukraine. He's forced to sue for peace!
In Cuba the communist regime is weakened to the point where the people THERE rise up and demand free elections.

Imagine THIS, Zinc! Trump has brought peace and prosperity to regions all around the world and the Nobel Peace Prize Committee is shamed...I MEAN SHAMED...into giving him the Nobel Peace Prize because he's done things that no other world leader has EVER done!

How's THAT for an active imagination?

You have it all wrong, the economy is BOOMING...................

U.S. inflation in April 2026 accelerated to 3.8% annually, the highest level since May 2023, driven primarily by an energy price shock caused by conflict in the Middle East. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.6% on a monthly basis, with energy prices surging 17.9% annually, marking the steepest increase since September 2022. [1, 2, 3]

Trump is undoing everything Biden did to help the economy the last 18 months of his Presidency.
Our economy, now, is like Biden's was in 2022 before he brought down inflation.

Nice job Trump.

Trump continually bullshits and the MAGA lemmings eat up the bullshit.

It hasn't been accomplished but it's right there, Elmer. The dominoes are all lined up. The only thing that might keep that from happening now is if the Democrats manage to win the House and spend the next two year doing everything they can to stop every single Trump policy. That's that's the hope that the Iranian regime is clinging to. Isn't it sad that you on the left are the only hope left for a despotic regime like Iran?

Care to point to the liberal alternative, Zinc? How would you theater kids fix the world?

They didn't even have theater in my high school. However, judging from the shows we went to supporting the kids' high school, being around a class full of gals would not have been a bad use of time.

I don't know about the liberal alternative but I have been plain in my hope for 'Manifest Destiny II This Time Its Vertical.' Frankly we could have already conquered Panama, Greenland, and CanadiaLand by now and been reinforcing to launch into Venezuela / Columbia, and beginning amphibious operations to Argentina. I expected Better!

With all due respect, Zinc? Before you go "colonizing" other places? How about you fix the ones here in the US that are controlled by liberals and now look like 3rd World shit holes?

Thats boring. How can we have the largest, most independent in history with that kind of attitude? I mean how am I going to create Canada Brazilian Tex Mex fusion without you know, Canada and Brazil?

Plus if we conquer the Americas, we don't need border control walls.
