Trump has his work cut out for him to persuade Americans that he’s making headway on affordability. In CNN’s most recent poll on the economy, 61% of Americans said Trump’s policies have
“worsened economic conditions in this country.”
This week, the New York Fed reported Americans’ expectations that they’ll find a job fell to an all-time low!

Price hikes picked up speed for US-based businesses toward the end of last year, a potential signal that inflation has yet to peak and prices could soon rise faster for consumers.
Fubah, dont worry cause on jan 20th everybodys electric bills will be cut in half, so people will have more money top pay for those other price hikes.
This what trump promised at all his maga morons rallies. Now would trump go back on his promise of cutting our electric bills in half? This is something trumpy does on a regular basis and would he lie to all his maga folks? Am counting on opening my electric bill after the 20th and seeing a 50 percent cut, because trump is a man of his word and he the greatest deal maker the world has every seen.

The “funny” thing about all this Trump policy nonsense - is that a lot of what pushes inflation up - is the markets perception that inflation will go up in the future - every important market is trading on the future prospects ! So even if Trump got the fed to lower interest rates - the market would know it wouldn’t be good for your overall economy going forward - so the interest rate you pay on your debt would go up - not down in such a situation (because it uses future projecting numbers on inflation - and one of the most important things to keep that down is actually the market believing your institutions are independent)
Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

He also kind of undermined your entire trading scene - when he published those jobreport numbers on Truth Social hours before their official release ! People only want to trade or invest in stuff if they know the one you trade with don’t have information not available to you - if that comes into question - none will invest in your markets at all ! For real if these things are not proof to you that he has no idea what he is doing - sorry to say then you are in no intellectual position to talk about finance

High food costs continue to give consumers a stomachache CBS NEWS -Food prices, which outpaced overall inflation for much of 2025, rose in December at an annual rate of 3.1%. That remains significantly above the 2.7% for all goods, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data.
On a monthly basis, food prices rose 0.7% last month —
the largest jump since September 2022!

Americans are paying more than ever for cars! Cheap models are disappearing
Trump’s 25% tariffs on imported cars and auto parts have raised costs for automakers, although many companies have eaten most of the billions in additional costs because of concerns that consumers would reject price increases and delay purchases, said Ivan Drury, the director of insights at Edmunds.com.
[trump's] tariff costs likely doomed the least expensive models.

I find it hilarious that people are in here complaining about inflation, but yet dismissed it during Bidens term. Y'all fooled. I paid less for my eggs today then I did 2 years ago. I paid less for gas today then I did 2 years ago.

Just curious, are you upset that the gov't is collecting taxes? I thought liberals want more taxes? I am so confused by liberals frustrations on tariffs. Do you only want higher taxes on individuals and not corporations? Or do you just not like Trump?

YEP! And the following valid, accurate point bears repeating:
We have seen this play out time and time and time and time again.
If a smallish, feathered, winged creature looks like a DUCK, flies like a DUCK, floats on water like DUCK, waddles on land like a DUCK, and quacks like a DUCK...
then, to normal, rational people >>>>>>>"it's obviously a DUCK!"
...but to MAGAs,
it's an elephant!!! if der Führer of the MAGA REICH says so!

Higher risk of global stagflation if oil supply disruption continues for a long time. Diplomatic solution appears unlikely because of Trump demand for unconditional surrender and new hardliner leader in Iran. Even if shipping resumes tomorrow, normalization might take months. In polymarket, probability of recession has reached a 3 months high.

trump caused the biggest oil disruption in history
CNN - A historic disruption to the world’s oil production [caused by the fascist leader of the republican party who PROMISED during his campaign no new wars/regime changes] sent crude prices smashing through the $100 barrier Monday for the first time in nearly four years.
With no end in sight to the war with Iran, oil futures could have considerably more room to run even higher.In fact, oil prices very nearly hit $120 a barrel overnight...

We should all applaud a President that is willing to make difficult decisions to avoid a Nuclear Iran. Sure, there will be some fallout when War is started.
Biden avoided all confrontation, so he could prioritize his early bedtime at 5PM....
