You said he was removing all trade barriers. But unfortunately tarrifs his only trade policy are trade barriers which he has increased.
If you are going to make out consumer sentiment is up under Trump dont you have to contextualise it that it had dropped massively since he became President and hasnt yet returned to Pre Trump levels.
Ha and that is something else you are wrong about! Take a look back at Pickles posts they are nothing like mine. And arent I about the forth poster on here you have accused of being Pickle? Seems his and my views are not that rare then?
Stupid little man!No, I’ve only ever accused you of being Pickle, nobody else. And I don’t need to read through Pickles posts I know it’s you.
Can’t wait for all the scum bag Dems to get exposed for all of their lies, corruption and treason. I’m especially looking forward to seeing Hillary get her dues.Typical Trump supporter ignores facts when they are presented to them. But yes why bother checking Pickles posts I mean that would prove it one way or the other. Oh and dont come back with our similar views. Does that make Goose or Hammer I Am Pickle?
You think Trump isnt a liar and a felon and a child molester and a cheat. Amazing. Im looking forward to when he gets what he deserves which may come sooner than you think.
Youve never got over being slaughtered on here about your undying love for Moyes have you![]()

Tariffs were already in place AGAINST the USA from other countries and in addition there were trade restrictions against USA products that have all now been lifted. Do the USA can trade in these countries without restriction. That is what I mean with trade barriers.
Yes, I do think Trump is bringing in Trullions in new investments, 100%.
As for consumer sentiment you can pick any period of time to find a win, example I could go back to a number of any different months and Inflation was much higher than it is today, over 8% in some months. I don’t do that though, why? Because it’s a retarded argument.

You’re just bitter because Trump has come out way ahead on all these trade agreements.
Poor GooseWeak consumer demand I said.
This was my exact post from the day before:
”Strip out trade inventory & government spending and you have “Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers”. This is underlying demand growth.
Q2 was 1.2%, a step back of 0.7% from Q1.”
Weak demand growth for Q2, behind Q1 and a mile behind LY.
3 months of weak job data.
5 months of manufacturing contraction.
as for consumer spending, 0.1% after being adjusted for inflation.
yeh Trump is really “winning”.Fuck me, you’ve got adjustments for your adjustments.
strip this out and strip that out and you’re still nowhere near stagflation or the sky falling in. And all this with absolutely no help from the Fed, in fact the opposite. This is what real capitalism looks like, not that Crony capitalism that heavily relies on the Fed to constantly step in and pick winners and losers.
Trumps making all the right moves, nobody said it was gonna happen over night or that it would be plain sailing but at the end of the day it’ll be worth it, especially for the middle and working class.

But you carry on getting busy any time you see a dip in the numbers, we were on an unsustainable path under Bidenomics, Trump has reset global trade, he is removing trade barriers, generating additional revenue and investments into the USA while lowering energy costs and bringing inflation down. To expect him to get everything handled instantly is a bit silly even for you.
Give it a minute for Trump to clear out the illegals and companies to build new plants and factories and tax cuts to kick in and the US economy will sky rocket and the debt will be attacked. Oh by the way have you seen the current trade deficits?

Uptick Inflation puts us at an inflation rate not seen since Feb. We are still way better off than we were under Biden and a minor up tick is a small price to pay when you look at the trade deals Trump is bringing in.
As for the Job numbers they are immigrant job losses. Which explains why we finally have wage growth. Again a temporary and welcomed development in our job market.
As anyone with half a brain knows and as I’ve explained to you a dozen times or more, the manufacturing Jobs and new Jobs of which there will be plenty won’t show up yet as Factories, plants and warehouses have to be built. It will happen or are you denying that all these companies won’t be moving production into the ISA to get around the Tariffs?
Lets see, Trillions in new investments, removal of trade Barriers and an estimated $300 Billion per year plus in Tariff revenue, all the US consumer has to do is buy products that are produced in the USA.
Yeah A major win for the US I’d say and all this achieved without any help from the Fed.
