Trump Says the Value of the Dollar is Great as it Declines 10% Over the Past Year

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The dollar is seeing its worst year since 2017 and Trump's comments caused it to sink another 1%. A declining dollar equals less purchasing power. If the dollar is doing great while it’s declining, Trump is here to kill the dollar as the world reserve currency.

Our exports will be cheaper now.

 

[pknopp]

Makes it easier to undermine the dollar.

How little you know....

Let's just say it will increase inflation...

Higher borrowing costs..

Trump wants it to sink.

He wants Americans to be poorer because THE RICH (oh, this topic again) get to make more money, and the poor get to be poorer.

The Great Society is over 60 years of age now. Technically there are no poor and those who are hungry.

What, you mean the dollar US is not haemorrhaging?

17 Oct 2025The US Dollar is undergoing its most punishing run in over two decades — a retreat of roughly 12-13% year-to-date that has seen the dollar index slip beneath the 100 mark and prompted fresh debate about whether a long-running dollar "supercycle" has turned.​

What, you mean the dollar US is not haemorrhaging?

No, the dollar is roughly equivalent to what it was last April.

Only in the mind of the deranged does a stable value over 9-10 month period equate to "hemorrhaging".

FAGAt.

I'd buy that for a dollar -- but I can't!

This benefits exports and foreign investment in the U.S workforce and manufacturing. Also, tourism in the long run. This hurts Americans going on vacation, outsourcing and moving factories etc.

Volkswagen just cancelled the new Audi plant in the US because it no longer made economic sense, I understand.

We're closer than ever now.

Maybe threatening, insulting, mocking, intimidating and punishing the very people who could make this happen isn't a great idea.

Trump doesn't understand that. The flock doesn't understand that. They are blind, arrogant and ignorant.

The end of the dollar. We're headed in that direction, right now.

Well actually they are trying to get tariffs on European autos down. Right now they are at 15 percent. This is their only play as tariffs have hit their profits and raked in money to the US Treasury.

They have however increased production at their already existing plants in the USA

It'll take a little while to unload the Treasuries so the price doesn't freefall; but everyone has seen the US weaponise every system it controls and has seen the writing on the wall.
