What the bond market is saying about a trump win.

Not only will it increase consumer prices, it will increase the annual deficit which also causes bond yields to go higher.

If you have all the answers, why aren’t you running for office?

The country already has too many armchair generals.

Here's a question that should be easy to answer. Yes or no, trump's mass deportation plan, reducing the workforce with unemployment already extremely low, is inflationary because it will cause wages to increase?
 
Are you advocating that we enter in to destructive trade wars?
Certainly not in a hurry to do that. However somewhere long line you have to address the flood of cheap foreign labor diluting the American markets or you are an effect already in a trade war.
 
For the unaware, the bond market, in terms of dollars invested, is many times larger than the stock market. Long duration bond yields had been dropping for quite a while in response to the Fed getting inflation under control. More recently, bond yields have been climbing again over concern of a trump election victory. Because bond market players realize his idiotic tariff plan is inflationary.

No

Surgical, targeted tariffs to address specific issues can be useful. trump's all encompassing sledgehammer approach will be disastrous.

Every country in the civilized world imposes tariffs on selected imports
 
Certainly not in my lifetime (I'm 68).
Senility must be terrible. You should talk to the outgoing vegetable. I agree after his tenure, it will take years to recover, but we have the right man and senate to get the job done. Chin up, your life is fixing to get much better.
 
I am not sure that trump plans tariffs on every imported product

Even from our closest allies and trading partners

If so that would be a mistake
If what I've heard him say is any indication, he has no intention of putting tariffs on every import. His focus is on China and I believe some surgical action on selected others.

Well yeah it will cause inflation at first but not as bad as the inflation caused by the loss of a manufacturing base to an undercutting foreign competitor. We stupidly backed ourselves into this corner and pain is the only way out.
There are benefits to making products in America

If the only tariffs we impose are on chinese products it will benefit the US

Because it hurts china
