Trump to address the nation tonight: Timing, what to expect

[martybegan]

The article shows that rents go down every winter. You could have claimed the exact same thing this time last year.

This is weak even for you.

Nice excuse, I'm sure you will make up another as they continue to fall into the spring.

It’s literally in the link you provided.

“According to Zillow’s November Rental Report, rents edged down as the usual winter slowdown took hold. The typical U.S. asking rent fell 0.3% from October to $1,925. This decline mirrors patterns seen in prior years. Cooler weather and fewer moves typically ease pressure on rents, contributing to the seasonal dip.”

This is why good data is seasonally adjusted.

Are rents lower now than they were a year ago? Yes or no.

A year ago we were still in the grips of Biden inflation.

Rents will continue to go down as demand goes down due to removing illegals, especially in urban areas.

Thank you for making my prediction come true.

You use this silliness all the time.

You're a sock and socks are trolls.

I asked if you could admit that Trump lied. And I predicted you could not.

I was correct, unlike your prediction I would run away. I am sitting here with a broken foot, no running away for me.

What do you think the chances are that the people around him are feeding him bad information?

About the same as those feeding you information (bad information).

GDP grew 0.7% in the first two quarters of 2025.

LOL. You are as dumb as you're wrong. GDP was 3.5% in Q2.

Now you're on ignore. You're both wrong almost all the time and you're a liar. You never link what you say until forced to and then you still get it wrong. You make all kinds of errors and never admit them.

And I'm not angry one little bit. I reserve anger for important things.

Trump is in charge this year and rent hasn’t gone down.

You lied.

Rents are not going down over all. Maybe in a few random cities but nationwide they are up

 

[buckeye]

I readily admit when Trump lies. He embellishes almost everything he says.

On inflation, he's correct. The mess Biden, the democrats and Powell made has caused a very stubborn inflation issue.

The blame does lie with Biden, the democrats and Powell.

And you're a sock. Why do you feel so ashamed of who you are?

I calculated the GDP growth in the FIRST TWO QUARTERS.

That means Q1 AND Q2. Q1 was a contraction.

Oh, and when you say GDP was 3.5%, that’s an annualized rate. When I say GDP grew by 0.7%, I used real GDP and didn’t annualized but used the total growth over 2 quarters.

You aren’t dumb, your brain is just heavily distorted by politics. I try to be nice to people like you but you make it very difficult.

At the end of the day, the people don’t think the economy is doing well. Maybe that has a lot to do with the expectations Trump set, but might have even more to do with the labor market. Either way, the people don’t like what they see. Your hopes and dreams are not substitutions for actual results.

Trump lied about the inflation when he took office. It was not at 48 year highs when he took office.

That you cannot admit that is pathetic.

Trump got nothing right last night.. not even his Chief of Staff's name.

Notable moments:

• Stumbling over the correct amount of military bonuses when announcing a "warrior dividend".
• Diverting into an "incoherent" story about dangerous snakes in Peru and his son's experience with anti-venom.
• Appearing with what many social media users observed as heavy, smeared makeup on his hand.
• Referring to his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, as "Susie Trump" in an apparent slip-up.
• Screaming like a crazy grandfather up past bedtime
• Creating new math to suggest anything can be reduced by 400% much less prices
• Utterly misstating or lying about every single metric he mentioned as pointed out below.

Chavez nationalized private companies and did steal their property. How short is your memory?

Good for the benefit of his own people and Country not yours, Chvez Nationalized Venezuelan oil his Countries oil how dare he what was he thinking?

Is that why everyone who can walk is fleeing the worker's paradise, about 8 million at last count?

Wonder why? hang on maybe something to do with sanctions like you have had on Cuba for 60 years, you just can't abide any Country not following your orders.

Vicious circle, ain't it. At the end of the day Venezuelans pay.

They went from riches to rags.

You lied.

Rents are going down.

 

[Marener]

Rents are going down.

If someone had said that in December 2024, you would have laughed your ass off.

Well from 2020-2024 you couldn't say that due to rampant inflation obscuring the actual rise or fall of costs related to availability.
