Trump is laying a big deuce on Davos right now

[Th'Pusher]

The Congress is paralyzed. In the Congress, mega donors (very rich people) defeat attempts at higher income taxes, higher estate taxes and wealth taxes and the business lobbies defeat higher tariffs. Trump bypassed the lobbyist with executive action, which the Supreme Court could still partially strike down.

Tariffs at least promote domestic investments whereas higher income taxes often do the opposite.

Honestly, congress literally didn’t have to do anything to increase revenue. Just not passing the BBB would have increased revenue as the 2018 Trump tax cuts. But he chose to extended the tax cuts and introduced tariffs (which may be unlawful).

If the goal is to reduce the deficit, How about laying out a reasonable policy plan to achieve that, build support for it with the American people, then pass it into law? The most significant durable thing Trump has done from a policy perspective is reduce revenues through tax cuts which increase the budget deficit and the national debt, unless you’re still working under the assumption that tax cuts pay for themselves

Gotta love the continued mental gymnastics Trump s go through to convince themselves that Trump does things with the best interest of the country in mind.

Antoni has nothing to do with the Atlanta Fed's GDP forecast you ing idiot.

Tsa will never say how his food bill and Healthcare costs have gone up

Blake doesn't understand that food and healthcare aren't the only things used to calculate inflation. Blake doesn't understand the word offset. Blake didn't know there were two different inflation gauges. Blake isn't aware inflation is lower now then in 2024 when he didn't care about inflation and never talked about it.

Blake will never say how he's doing worse now in 2026 when inflation is lower, wages are higher, and markets keep hitting all time highs.

Blake is an idiot.

"..."To say the US has 'virtually no inflation' is factually incorrect and a classic Trump overstatement," Thomas Ryan, a North America economist at Capital Economics, wrote in an e-mail.

Core CPI — a measure that strips out energy and food prices, which can be volatile — "remains uncomfortably high for policymakers at 2.6%," Ryan wrote..."



"....Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's, also told CNBC that inflation remains "uncomfortably high."

"Inflation is especially problematic for lower and middle-income Americans, given the high inflation for many staples such as groceries, electricity, apparel, furniture, childcare, and healthcare," Zandi wrote in an e-mail.

Ironically, Trump's tariff policy is putting upward pressure on inflation and preventing the U.S. policymakers from claiming victory, economists said...."

You are such a ing moron

Did you even read the article you posted past the first paragraph where you thought you found your gotcha?

Let's look at some highlights from the rest of the article you linked and didn't read

Mortgages

Mortgage rates, which typically follow the lead of long-term Treasury rates, are significantly lower than where they were a year ago, helped in part by Trump’s push to have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds. Just on Trump’s announcement of that plan, the average rate on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage sank briefly below 6% earlier this month.

The average rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage is 6.21% as of Tuesday, according to Mortgage News Daily, down from over 7% in January 2025.

Rent

Rent payments have also been trending lower.

In December, the national rent index fell 0.8%, ending the year with five straight months of declines, according to real estate data site Apartment List’s monthly report.

While this is generally in line with how rents perform in the winter, it was the steepest winter decline since 2022, according to the report. Across the board, rents nationally were down 1.3% from a year earlier. The national median monthly rent now stands at $1,356.


Energy

A gallon of regular gasoline costs about $2.81, on average, as of Jan. 19, according to the Energy Information Administration.

That’s a nearly 10% decline from $3.11 per gallon on Jan. 20, 2025, the day Trump took office, according to EIA data.

Groceries

Grocery prices have risen a relatively muted 2.4% over the past year, according to CPI data.

Airfare

Airline fares declined more than 3% year over year in December, according to CPI data.


========================

Now let's take a look at Mark Zandi from Moody's

Mark Zandi in January 2026 with inflation at 2.7% steady to trending down ---"Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s, also told CNBC that inflation remains “uncomfortably high.”

Mark Zandi in January 2024 as inflation rose 0.3% monthly and 3.1% year-over-year "Inflation has fallen considerably since the peak back in the summer of 2022, and by the end of this year we should be back to the Federal Reserve’s inflation target, as measured by CPI, of 2.5%."

https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/05/3...ark-zandi.html

"In 2024, Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi
grew optimistic about U.S. inflation, believing it was moderating "gracefully" and would return to the Federal Reserve's target by year-end,"

average inflation for 2024 was 2.95%

Yeah, I don't see raising taxes as a winning issue in the upcoming election. Most Americans (like Chumpdumper) don't even have a clue about the state of the country's fiscal health, so I'm not sure how much they even care about it.

You don't care about the debt. You didn't say about Trump's tax cuts for the rich and huge deficit spending unless I brought it up.

You're right. Most Trump voting Americans like you think that companies are eating the tariffs and Trump is making the trade deficit right again. They're too stupid to know that we're the ones eating it. They also have no clue about the true state of the country's fiscal health because they're vegged out on Fox News 24/7 where Trump and America are doing great again.
