trump’s been on a monetizing the presidency world tour since he took the oath he regularly ignores.
Let's see how long that lasts. Trump's tariffs will raise prices.
BS. The effects of the Trump Tariffs are the vast amounts of money flowing into the treasury as well as massive foreign investment flowing into the United States.It’s amusing that you go to a comedian for economic advice.
From the start I said we wouldn’t see the impact of Trump’s tariffs until October, and that was before Trump TACOed a few times to delay things. Now that tariffs aren’t going into effect until August 1, we shouldn’t expect to see the real impact until January.
Fair point on a very narrow point Maher makes.
You do realize who’s putting that vast amount of money into the treasury, right?
Remains to be seen.
Those vast amounts you mention are from American businesses and consumer. What little benefit Americans did receive from the Bbb, higher prices paid by business and people pay for the tariffs.
Do you have a comment on this or just random horseshot?
Yes but did you read this comment: "You smack the Democrat mule twice, the first to interrupt the identity politics and the second to see if it remembers basic economics." I was having a little fun. If you had even a flicker of clarity, you’d have seen the article was from yesterday, backed by a study released this month. But instead, your kneejerk reaction is to shriek like a cornered ideologue, clinging to dogma as it crumbles under the weight of facts. You treat evidence like a vampire treats sunlight, not because it burns, but because it exposes. And exposure is death to people like you, whose belief system survives only in the dark, beyond the reach of accountability.
These people don’t read the Politics Board.
Americans are growing hopeful about the economy as trade talks progress

BabyBoobs, A TOTAL POS GASLIGHTER / LIAR (MAGAt), just can’t stop GASLIGHTING / LYING.
BabyBoobs own article shows that consumer sentiment is waaaaaay down from last year under President Biden, and inflation is getting ready to roar back due to businesses running out of the stockpiles of lower priced goods they purchased in January & February to avoid Trump’s tariff tax.
But don’t believe me, read these excerpts from BabyBoobs’ own article:
“Consumer confidence has stabilized since May, rebounding from April’s plunge, but remains below last year’s heady levels,” said Stephanie Guichard, senior economist of global indicators, at The Conference Board. “Tariffs remained top of mind and were mostly associated with concerns that they would lead to higher prices.”
But inflation has remained somewhat tame, according to the Consumer Price Index, with only a few categories seeing prices pick up. That’s because some businesses have chosen to absorb higher costs, and many are still stocked up with inventory they front-loaded in the beginning of the year to beat tariff-induced price increases, economists say.
However, it may just be a matter of time until inflation accelerates faster and more broadly as inventories dry up and businesses feel more acutely the sting from tariffs. That could prompt consumer confidence to tumble, just as it did in the summer of 2022 when inflation was raging at a four-decade high.
“Inflation has come into better balance this year — but signs of renewed price pressure are starting to emerge,” Lauren Goodwin, economist and chief market strategist at New York Life Investments, said in a note to clients on Tuesday.
“Goods prices in categories sensitive to trade policy — such as consumer electronics, apparel, and auto parts — have started to edge higher,” she added. “Steep tariffs often create visible economic pain – disrupting supply chains and suppressing demand.”
We. Told. Them. So.
