trump said he might call Powell to urge him to lower interest rates

[sealybobo]

I will be honest with you, I really thought Harris could win until I saw this trump campaign commercial:

She kicked his ass in the debate and he lost it. Flat out lied and looked horrible. How people still voted for him after that I don't get.

I asked a lot of women who they were voting for assuming it was Kamala. They were voting for Trump. They all said the same thing. "I just feel like he will do better with the economy". Idiots.

I cannot believe trump can be this dense. We are already looking at inflation from his ill advised tariffs. He wants interest rates lowered so the damage will be doubled.

Appropriate that the only president who pressured the Fed to lower interest rates in the last 50 years was Nixon. And the results was severe inflation down the road. I guess that is what trump wants?

Trump only see things from the billionaire point of view. If he can get richer, and everyone else gets poorer, he sees that as success.

Those billionaires and millionaire convinced us that they can do better running the country. But look at their business'. They pay themselves more than they are worth and they pay their workers as little as they possibly can.

Republicans are good at arguing cold is hot. I love debating with them that the Democrats are now the party of the rich. It seems so obvious that's not true but it doesn't stop them from arguing it.

Trump has tapped an unprecedented 13 billionaires for his administration.​

Reports from various organizations, including the Congressional Budget Office, the Yale Budget Lab, and Americans for Tax Fairness, indicate that proposed or enacted legislation dubbed "Big, Beautiful Bill" or "Big Ugly Law" tend to benefit wealthier households more significantly than lower-income households.

So no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.

Yes the rich have the Democrats in their pockets too but you have to cater to the rich. Democrats can't win without the rich. Oh, and Democrats aren't anti rich. Republicans are anti middle class. Especially lower middle class and poor people.

Yeah, success in business comes differently to success in politics. What do people want? Just better GDP? No. But that's all Trump cares about.

Nothing Clinton, Obama or Biden did was good enough. Good jobs numbers, no recessions, Biden supported unions when he was POTUS. Union workers did great the last 4 years. I really wish Trump was president when they went on strike. I would like for them to see what it's like when a president doesn't support your right to strike.

Problem is people seem to have very short term memories, or no memory at all

A FEAST OF STUPIDITY

You Sheeple still really do not know that Deep State gifted Trumpfy the Presidency .

You have no inkling that one key reason is to organise the fall of the dollar's value so that you can leave the financial DEBT SYSTEM .

Trumpfy does not set long term fundamental economic and financial policy .
That is a matter for the Deep State inner sanctum and the Families . Trumpfy is there as Showman and Fixer .

The Gold Standard will be reached by first lowering rates to promote inflation .
Then the last attempted tactic , --- huge Quantitative Easing .

Finally the curtain will be lifted to show the Sheeple Herd their reward

Nothing .

Projection.

Inflation is your last line of defence against being rendered totally irrelevant.

Keep it up, it's hard to imagine you can look any more stupid than you already do.

The market is knocking on the doors of records. Even countries like Brazil are getting past the fear generated by lackey such as yourself.

Why don't you move to Cuba.

Obama presided over one of the slowest and most sluggish recoveries this country has ever experienced. He was the first one to have trillion dollar deficits.

Oh...I forgot....you morons like debt.

Double Digit inflation in 2026...

I am amazed at how dumb/gullible/misinformed the American people are. My brother got duped with WOKE. But I get it. He's a rich white HR vp who sees that white men don't advance anymore. And he has two white sons going to college. And he's rich. Maybe if I was rich I'd vote GOP too. Actually, the stock market does just fine when Democrats are in power. And labor does a lot better.

The democrats have to change. They suck. Chuck Schumer? Get out of here! No one likes you. Get some new people in there and not ones who call themselves socialists or communists like that guy running for mayor of NY. Young people who can explain to voters how the GOP system is rigged and why we are all struggling, and not having kids.

But Republicans here will say prices are coming down. LOL.

Gas prices might come down. Those oil companies want to help Trump I'm sure so they may lower their prices to help him out.

I'm just waiting for 2 years from now Trump said these tariffs are going to "bring all those jobs back home". No they are not.

By next year, trump will have his people cooking the data, so we will not know if inflation and unemployment are high. We will feel it on the street, but like Hungary, the word from Washington will be "Everything is Great!"

And when Republicans lose in states run by Republican governors, they'll win. It happened in 2016. Rick Snyder rigged Michigan for Trump. Why do you think Trump put Rick Snyder's boss' old lady in charge of the Dept of Education?

Wages are up more than inflation gas is down and many other prices are down. The middle class just got a tax cut. Trumps economy is working

Nope. You can't document current figures that do any of that.

The person Trump appointed, surprisingly, is one who will get the BLS numbers right.

You will be so unhappy.

Americans’ Wages Are Higher Than They Have Ever Been, and Employment Is Near Its All-Time High

After adjusting for inflation, wages are higher than at any point in U.S. history, and after adjusting for age and sex, the percentage of the population that is employed is around its peak in U.S. history.
