Trump is doing pretty much everything that he promised.
End DEI, ICE deportations, stop funding the Ukraine War, bringing the jobs back to America.
If he continues with all of this during his 4 years term he might become the greatest president in US history.

keep in mind the tariff regime is targeting trade deficits specifically. behind the scenes, this leads to sovereign wealth funds acquiring domestic assets (land, stocks, companies). this means the countries with the highest new tariff levels are also the ones with the biggest piles of cash available on hand to make investments inside the tariff barrier.

tariffs are good policy. trump ran on tariffs and everyone with a pile of money overseas is trying harder to spend it here. a lot of these investment deals are tax deals in disguise. trump is using every lever available to the executive branch of the US to push cash money dollars lost to overseas trade imbalances back into the US domestic market by any means necessary.

this should help ease US poverty conditions for the average citizen. it could also easily destroy the average 401k balance or REIT. the federal reserve chair spoke yesterday and implied trump's tariff policy has unknown and unpredictable long term effects, and that he hates it. well, we all hate 4.5% rates because of massive government fiscal and trade deficits. bringing back all the cash money should bring rates down regardless of fed pivot. 'dont fight the fed' well fuck you fed, he should have resigned and now here we are. without 2.5% rates to refinance $40T debt, the US lower class will work in peonage for ten generations. we can get there with or without Federal Reserve Bank. the Treasury is powerful enough to do it alone.

Ukraine War funding never stopped.
In fact more equipment than ever is shipped straight to Ukraine. Hundreds of M114 Howitzers through Targu Mores alone
If you think that peace in any case or form is on the horizon you haven't been paying attention.
Russia EU and Iran US war is coming and its coming fast

I think we're looking at around $250/500 price increase monthly

tarrifs are deflationary, they remove money from circulation

Rarely in real life do things go smoothly, It would be wise to not declare victory when the Tariffs haven't even fully kicked in fully. Let's keep our looking glass towards the short term, the cost increase for the bottom 80% of society monthly will be atleast, $250-500 monthly.
Now how many Americans are scraping by just now..the full affects will be felt by Fall..

tarrifs are deflationary, they remove money from circulation

Tariffs are Deflationary and Distortionary, yes it's a "tax" increase and it comes down to semantics. Taxes decrease the money supply if it's used for debt destruction, on the backend you have Government spending up 7.4% from last year. So we're going to get this affect where the bottom 80% get wrecked, the 20% connected to Government spending will think things are great. So despite the hooplah of the Doge cuts and I agree many Federal Gov workers got slashed, that does not stop the Government funding train. So the poor will spend more for neccessities through a tax increase which isn't increasing the money supply, so they will reduce discretionary spending elsewhere.

In general I agree with what Trump is doing but remaking the economy will take decades. Our unskilled workforce is already terrible with young workers not just being inexperienced in work but also in basic life skills. Green fielding a factory will take about 4 years assuming permits are issued swiftly. Getting it running well is another 2 years. Good luck finding competent engineers to design many new factories at once. Our engineering firms are already jeeted at an alarming rate.

$250-500 monthly

A net win just if housing prices are pushed down.

so they will reduce discretionary spending elsewhere.

They're adding trillions to the deficit, retard. They're boosting the debt limit by $4T

They're adding trillions to the deficit, retard.

You didn't understand my point.
The poor and unconnected to the Government's credit card will get wrecked. The people STILL connected to the obscene levels of Government spending will think things are great. Gov Contractors , Military spending, Mega-Globohomo INC.

Miga niggers WILL line up for the Elon mines working 80 hour weeks.

it is $70B total potential, enough to eliminate taxes on the lower 50% of taxpayers. if that happened, the effect on the lower class would be total liberation from poverty for all time. we wont get that, but the point is to compare quid pro quo: $70B tax on foreign consumption for 51% tax-exempt poverty polity.

I see Tariffs as a complementary policy rather than THE policy. You really have to address other systemeic issues like our money system Let's be honest Asset inflation is the FED's REAL mandate. Then you have Regulatory capture designed to crush competition, Reduce taxes, reduce Government spending then you go apeshit with Tariffs to fund the Government and pay down it's debt. But this tariff only approach will most likely just help out the big club since they have access to cheap capital and Gov funding through the FED and Lobbyists.

This is really grim.

Hang Tough

Based Winters Reference. Let the President Cook.

all the world's problems pivot around the fed reserve. one thing is for sure, tariff regime is anti-fed action. tariffs are one part of many parallel actions going on.

key will be the new budget, and whether the house will pass appropriations bills. if this alone happens, the entire game of government slushfund spending will end. as part of that budget, new tariff revenue will be included. i can understand why a delay was required to actually implement these tariffs and begin collecting revenue before the formal budget is created.

one thing to keep in mind is trump campaign slogans like 'no tax on tips' and 'no tax on social security'. this fits in nicely with raising income tax exemption to $50k. $50k is the number i keep using because it represents the income limit of the bottom 50% of all income tax payers. politics is a 51% game, so eliminating income tax for 51% of the adult population is good politics and nicely aligns with the same amount of money tariffs raise. trump can't change tax law, but he can pay a tax rebate to these people directly out of a treasury fund off tariffs.

The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.

Americans are barely holding on as it is. The economy was already looking extremely unhealthy. This is going to make people suffer even more. Americans were already standing at the edge of a cliff. Trump just pushed them off

That's where my pessimistic side steps in.
We need wholescale tax decreases, I'm doubtful because Government loves taxing the shit out of it's subjects. Then you have to go in and slash regulations which only serve to prevent competition rather than it being about "Health/Safety/Environment". For me, I would've done the tax decreases, slash regulations BEFORE the tariffs to further incentivize onshoring.

you missed the shell game. treasury rights a rebate check to itself for the tax obligations. the money never goes anywhere, and then the poor people have their liabilities erased. it is better than cash because that cash would have gone to debt financing. it is double good--because US treasury still has the money to retire federal debt notes after retiring private-public debt notes. it is targeted debt deflation in the form of a tax jubilee and it will massively improve the efficiency of domestic service and consumer goods sectors.

Ever since Trump got back in we've collectively dived head first into hyper reality.

No goy. You just have to trust the plan and the mouth of your masters.

you missed the shell game.

I mean maybe, we're entering speculative territory here so it's possible. But on the flip side, things could also get ugly. We're talking close to around $250-500 cost of living increases by Mid July so, whatever it is, it better hurry the Fuck up.

the speculation is only whether a US politician will actually do something good for poor people. trump has the cards, maybe. if the house and senate pass enough law around trump, trump has the cards to change the game here in america forever. the fed is the problem, and erasing the poverty the fed has caused is the goal on pol since before pol, since before boards, since before www, since before dial-in. it'll be the first time something good has happened, so dont count on it unless everyone uses AI to contact all the congress people.

Trump personally and publicly executes Netanyahu on live camera from the Oval Office

my heart skipped a beat just now.

"Hang tight, it won't be easy"

Said the billionaire who has never been desperated in his life

5 trillion in investment for 20 trillion in economic losses.

Trump logic.

Trying to think of what we do know so far.
We know that Trump wants lower rates, prefereably for the FED to go back to ZIRP and QE and that has proven to be bad for mainstreet. Throw in Tariffs on top of that and you have a cost of living increase with an increasing wealth inequality due to FED's easy money. Throw on top of that Record amounts of Government spending. Regulations stay the same, Taxes overall remain the same.
In this environment, the only players I see "winning" is big corporations who have the capacity to 1: Get cheap Credit, 2: have the regulations in place for them to become even bigger 3: US wages do not keep up with inflation so onshoring doesn't help here since inflation over the long term outpaces wage increases. This is what we have so far.

I wouldn't worry about it goy.

there is another factor that you could be missing.
If the FED drops rates, the treasury could roll over it's supposed debt to it for far less. This is why the FED has been so stubborn with lowering the rates again, as they see the writing on the wall and are trying to avoid it.

no tax on tips
no tax on social security
tariffs on trade imbalance
fed wont lower rates

fuck the fed

last step pending

Hello friendly non paid Trump shill that totally comes here to post non propaganda cherry picking and asking questions with pre-prepared answers.

So humble and selfless.
So much different than obama and scores of other politicians that blanket us with empty corporate success stories of how our lives will be increasingly improved by expanding their monopolistic empires with the same businesses that have led to record quarterly profits on the back of exponentially decreasing quality of services and products with toothless regulatory oversight and compensation to millions of ripped off customers, like that silly CFPB who was about to give billions back to swindled customers from fraudulent accounts opened up by our patriotic and benevolent American banks.

Soon to come, mining conglomerates investing billions to add colorful and delicious carcinogens to Americas drinking water supply!

as if the whites have always been oppressors and jews have totally never been oppressors
