⚡️Trump Won’t Rule Out a Recession;📉 (That he directly caused.)

Thanks for posting this! So much for sticking to his promises of lowering the prices of goods and helping the middle class with stock portfolios and 401k's retirement plans. Instead, he is causing more economic downturn and stealing money from social programs that help the poor to give tax cuts to the rich. Not sure how that is "winning"...

Heard about him saying that on NBC live today. I'm a little tired today & busy, so I haven’t had time for much, let alone forums. In fact, this is my first post of the day!

It's a complete non-event on Fox (where the current top headline is that a federal judge stopped the deportation of a pro-Palestinian activist on legal grounds - because that's apparently the most important thing happening in America right now).

Actually, if you want a laugh, go read the Fox Business interpretation of why Tesla stock is down 50% since December. If you guessed that they do not mention Musk's n**i antics, or consumers' reaction thereto, you're absolutely correct. 😁
 
To be honest the US economy wasn't good BEFORE Trump took office. Cheeto Man has only been President for two months.

Granted that Tariffs haven't helped. It's a game of blink and you don't always win.

Still saying he caused this solely himself is inaccurate.

I am one of the few people on here who doesn't think the Orange Man is either the Second coming or Satan incarnate?

Dunno what you're basing this view on, but Trump inherited a robust economy from Biden - as measured using all objective indicators of economic stability:
  • GDP growth (3%; outlook stable)
  • Unemployment (4%; outlook stable)
  • Inflation (2.7%; trending downward)
  • Consumer sentiment index (74 in Nov 2024 and steadily increasing since 2022)
  • DJIA and Nasdaq both at record levels
All of these are (were) characteristic of an economy that is in fairly good shape.
 
Some of you are acting like the Stock Market isn't accountable in its own actions and decisions as well. There also international markets and economies to consider. The UK's economy isn't brilliant. Germany's isn't hot either.

If the economy was so good then why didn't Harris and the Democrats win big? The Biden administration was printing money like crazy. I wouldn't call large inflation part of a good economy.

I think Trumps Tariffs aren't helping but to point this all on Trump is disingenuous and bias boarding on TDS.

How is Musk Nazi? He's a fucking socially awkward Sperg not a White Supremacist.

Tesla stock is probably down to other factors like nobody is buying electric cars because they suck ass and are expensive. The usual suspects were calling Musk a Nazi before his on stage Gaffe.

Though have you seen those far Left anarchist's attacking and burning down Tesla dealers that can't be good either.
 
You can literaly see the stock market crash in real time when Trump speaks, especially about Tarrifs. He directly caused the recession unfolding before our eyes.

WHICH YOU CAN GO BACK AND WATCH LIVE BEING CORELATE WITH STOCKS CRASHING AND TRUMP SPEAKING ABOUT TARRIFS.

I said its a factor. Trump thinks Tariffs will work out in the US's favour long term. I am not convinced, he may win against some weaker countries but he will to blink against some of stronger ones.

I think Trump should be fighting inflation first before implanting tariffs.

Like I said The Biden economy wasn't great. The world economy has not exactly been stable for a while.

I don't why I am bothering to post back because even though I am criticizing Trump its not enough I have to be biased to the point of having TDS.

To be fair, in my opinion, Biden's economy was mostly pandemic recovery and it never did fully recover. A robust economy and a resilient economy are not the same thing. It's not just the US; the entire global economy is still not as resilient as it was pre-Covid. Do I think Trump is helping matters? No, not at all. But an economy that can start failing in less than 60 days of a new administration in office was never that strong to begin with.

(Everyone here knows I'm not a Trump apologist, but I am a realist.)
 
Yeah a snapshot can capture an unhappy person very well.
It also tells very little about what has happened making that person unhappy.

CPI and inflation has been climbing since 2020. Stock markets chase CPI till liquidity in the market contracts. So being surprised after a five year CPI inflation unchecked climb. That at any point there in near future there would not be a market correction is foolish.


What’s the most curious chart is this one
I’m 2008 and 2020 immediately preceding the inauguration of Obama and Biden there were two massive unprecedented liquidity spikes. Wonder why. Think of it as bribing the economy.


So if you want to get excited about single digit market corrections go ahead. I’m not saying there is going to be some massive explosion in market growth. I’m not an economist or have access to the data to make that call.
So it is just precarious to tout market collapse from such an uninformed position.

Go to a grocery store, try to rent an apartment or buy a house or new car. How much does it cost for a 4-year degree today! Property and school taxes are through the roof! Yup, things were just great! My kids can't even afford to eat at Mcdonalds, and they have master's degrees! Soon it will be just rich and poor no middle class! :mad:
 
Yes nothing like taking social programs away from the poor to give tax cuts to the rich.
Democrats either have an issue with reading comprehension or they’re running a shameful misinformation campaign.
The CR has NO CUTS to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, or veterans’ benefits.
Members of the media: if you're allowing Democrats to make intentionally false claims without pushback, then you're aiding and abetting in the spread of this misinformation.
 
They absolutely are coming after those things if what they have said in the past is any indication. They have explicitly said reductions in medicaid coming.

Question, how are you reading their (reps) minds and predict the future of the rulings of Congress?

However, I'm using my basis of assumption off what many congressman, GOP officials, & Trump have previously stated in the past. They "not going to print more money" apparently to give tax cuts to the rich, "not going to raise taxes", and their certainly "not defunding the military". So... where else is it gonna come from. Gutting the federal government has saved almost butt kiss compared to budget or proposed tax cuts for the rich. 🤷‍♂️

They intend to gutt social programs to make room for tax cuts for the rich. GOP use the excuse states rights to get away with this robbery of the poor. Soon a lot of poorer off Americans will be feeling the pain of Trump's actions and the Trump Recession from his Tarrifs.

It certainly won't trickle down like it NEVER❌️ has in the past. Will only be pocketed by the rich as it always does, growing the unprecedented, sickening wealth gap inequalities.
