The Reality Distortion Field In Action

[g5000]

Inflation has been rising since April, mostly due to Trump's far left tariff war. It is now at 2.7 percent.

Yet the Trump Administration has activated their Reality Distortion Field, and is claiming inflation has "beat or matched expectations".

Even worse, they expect MAGAs to swallow this bullshit. If not, then they are "Panicans".

Every month since President Trump took office, core inflation — the best measure of inflation — has beat or matched expectations. The data proves that President Trump is stabilizing inflation and the Panicans continue to be wrong about tariffs raising prices. - Minister of Propaganda Karoline Leavitt.



Leavitt's idea of a BOOMING economy is 0.5% for Q1.

The Trump Cabinet lackies obviously believe, like Trump does, if you say something in all caps, it induces magical thinking in the rubes, and summons the reality distortion field so critical to totalitarian regimes.

GDP growth for the year is expected to continue to be anemic unless Trump quits his idiotic tariff war.

Forecasts:

• Deloitte: 1.4% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026.
  
  [*The Conference Board: 2.0% in 2025, revised down from previous projections.
• Trading Economics: 29681.00 USD Billion by the end of 2025.
• • 
    
  • Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia: 1.4% in 2025 (annual average). [/S]
  • Kiplinger: 1.2% to 1.4% for the full year, with some media reports citing 1.7% to 1.9%.
  • Goldman Sachs: 1.0% growth, with potential for upside from policy changes.
  • Atlanta Fed GDPNow: Has fluctuated but currently points to 2.6% growth for the second quarter of 2025.

Well, it's worked for him since Escalator Day. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

They should be insulted, but they don't know enough to be insulted.

They've bought everything, up until this Epstein fiasco. They'll buy this inflation stuff.

Expectations: “Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” - Donald J. Trump

So long as inflation continues to rise, Trump's demand the Fed lower interest rates is suicidal.

Reality Distortion Field has long been the dominance of the rightwing in America, and no one exemplifies this distortion of reality more than the leader of the party.

However, this affliction also struck the Democratic party during the 4 year term of the Honorable Joseph Biden, who allowed the extreme elements of this party to argue that children should be able to change their gender.

American voters rejected this principle, and rejected the party in the 2024 election cycle. Hopefully Democrats have turned off the Reality Distortion Field and can see clearly, as we do not need both parties using this device in order to guide their decision making.

No one is sure if the Democrats have regained their balance, as they have remained largely absent from politics with the election of Trump. No word yet on their timeliine for returning.

Cool story, some third rate sci-fi outlet might be interested in your make believe.

You loons ignore the fact that Trump boldly announced that his policies to fix the Biden disaster would occasionally cause some economic pain. I'll step away now, you can continue your little TDS fantasy rage fest.

Inflation increased less than expected last month which is a win for Trump... and dude inflation has been increasing for the last 5 years because of Biden... now Trump has is slowing down... that's a win pal....

"Moderate Mac" keeps his unbroken streak of Trump basher posts alive.

Dude, I really don't want to get into the dynamics of inflation with someone who is so economically illiterate. I mean to me, it just isn't that hard to understand. Too many dollars chasing too few goods, period. You can decrease the dollars, like, oh, I don't know, reducing the deficit? You can increase the goods, and yes, some of Trump's policies might actually do that, but it hasn't panned out yet.

No, Trump and Republicans have done the opposite. The Big, Beautiful Bill increased the deficit. They upped the debt ceiling. That is more dollars. And this racist and misguided attempt to deport illegal, and frankly, legal, immigrants is only going to decrease the amount of goods. We are already seeing it in the food markets. It is intuitive that inflation will start increasing. I mean I predicted from the very beginning and I have yet to be proven wrong.

And I got to be honest. "Less than expected", that is like saying, damn, that ass ******* I got, it hurt "less than expected". You go ahead and roll with that.

Trump's goal in collusion with the former GOP is to destroy Democracy so they can stay in power. MAGA scum sits by & applauds. Inflation? They don't give a shit because Trump tells them WHAT to think. About everything.

Trump owns the MAGA rubes & the fact that he also rules over the former GOP HOR & Senate is just the icing on the cake.

It's over.

5000 is a Never-Trumper who would rather see Biden or AOC in the Whitehouse than Trump.

We don't need democrats. 5000 prefers democrats to Republicans.

You prefer Biden's 9.1% inflation and US families losing $11,400 in buying power. Stupid Never-Trumper.

Americans need an extra $11,400 today just to afford the basics, Republican analysis finds

Compared with 2021, the typical household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain their standard of living, analysis shows.

CBO projected 1.8% GDP.
We'll see how it unfolds.
Reality is that REAL Americans like Trump (46%) to democrats (19%), sucks to be on the wrong side.
