Thank you, Trump, for great economy

What economic data are you seeing that shows that the stock market is moving in the opposite direction as the overall economy.(k-shaped) Please tell me you haven’t come to this conclusion in the last 60 days with a tick up in gas prices.

It's not difficult to find. You're on "the internet".

Regardless, I no longer try to discuss markets & macroeconomic analysis and practical application -- my profession for over two decades -- with Trumpsters. I know it's a waste of time. And your definition of "K-shaped economy" is incorrect.

For the blindly devoted, reality is a pliable trumpian construct shaped to fit the needs of the moment. It's both humbling and discouraging to know.......with absolute certainty..........that no amount of factual material brought to bare against their fantastical beliefs makes any impression whatsoever.

Being a Trumpster means you're more educated, informed, experienced and credible than anyone else on any topic.

The rest of us can only observe in heartfelt admiration.

How is it incorrect? The upper arm of the K indicates groups that are doing better and the lower arm of the K indicates groups that are doing worse indicating clear winners and losers.

After hearing countless secular TDS folks lecture Christians on the tenants of our religion, I tend to disagree.

Most extremely wealthy people take mortgages out on property, especially income generating properties. If the interest rate on a loan is less that the income the property is generating, it makes perfect sense to have a mortgage. Also, interest on commercial real-estate loans is tax deductible.

So now the stock market doesn’t matter? I can go over to the stock market forum and find many posts blaming Trump when the markets are down and inferring that it is a sign of a pending economic disaster. Wouldn’t the opposite be true or not in TDS land?

It isn’t just the stock market that is doing well, but economic indicators as well, especially given that we are in this conflict and with the problem in the Strait. Not sure if you knew, but the stock market rises and falls quickly with economic data. A bad PCE or jobs number can cause the markets to drop precipitously. The stock market and the overall economy may not be identical twins, but they are siblings.

Stock market has a bad day: Trump is destroying our economy!

Stock market at record highs: That doesn’t count.

Worth it to keep the Islamic terrorists from getting nukes. (Plus, the tax cut more than makes up for the added cost in gas.) And the stock market? Wow.

AI Overview

Based on early 2026 data, the 2025 tax cuts do not make up for the increased costs. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is projected to add roughly $4 to $ trillion in national debt from 2025-2034, with tax savings primarily benefiting high-income households while tariffs and other costs offset gains for consumers, causing a net fiscal strain.

Key Findings on 2025 Tax/Cost Impact

• Net Cost & Debt: The 2025 tax legislation (OBBBA) is expected to add $4.5 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, with that figure rising toward $5 trillion, when including tax cuts.
  
• Distribution of Benefits: The tax cuts are heavily skewed toward high-income earners. The top of households (1%) could see average tax cuts $80,600, while lower-income households (earning under $28,600) might see average benefits of only $110
  
• Tariff Costs: The administration's sweeping tariff regime, designed as a 2025 policy, acts as a tax on imports. These costs are largely borne by American businesses and consumers, reducing overall inflation-adjusted incomes, say analysts from Center for American Progress.

It is the rich that is getting richer, but the middle income and poor are paying out of their own pocketbooks for what Trump is doing!

Heck, going to get gasoline 3-5 times will WIPE OUT their tax benefits, without mentioning all the additional high cost of living.

Stop kissing Trump's ass, unless you are among the top 1% of Americans. If you are, I understand your love for Trump.

Prices will come down when the conflict is over and we will be much better for it with a feckless Iran. Suck it up, like everybody else is doing as evidenced by the economy and the stock market.

bs

 

[Clipper]

Based on your surly attitude, I believe you have been run off of many jobs.

Based on your stupidity I'm sure you never made it past 9th grade.

Your the type of idiot that Trump loves because he can walk all over you.
