    The funny thing is when Biden signed the IRA inflation was 8% and a year later it was at sub 4%. The idea that IRA or green energy subsidies caused inflation shows how rotten these people's brains truly are.

    They hate facts

    This 9% inflation claim is a real doozy. @raining threes - care to explain where you got that number?

    Go checkout Yahoo finance and an article called Trump vs Biden inflation.

    I'm checking out for awhile. Work calls

    Trump is an Ivy League elitist with a BA in economics.

    This is why @rainingthrees hates him.

    Stay tuned for Taco Tuesday in August.

    Tuesday July 8

    “As per letters sent to various countries yesterday, in addition to letters that will be sent today, tomorrow, and for the next short period of time, TARIFFS WILL START BEING PAID ON AUGUST 1, 2025. There has been no change to this date, and there will be no change. In other words, all money will be due and payable starting AUGUST 1, 2025 — No extensions will be granted. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”


    Monday July 7

    “Is the Aug. 1 deadline firm now? Is that it?” a reporter asked Trump during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

    “No, I would say firm, but not 100 percent firm,” Trump replied. “If they call up and they say ‘we’d like to do something a different way,’ we’re going to be open to that. But essentially that’s the way it is right now.”

    Trump is turning every south Asia country into the arms of China for literally no reason.

    Why would you piss off the Japanese

    The market appears to believe that everyday is TACO Tuesday.

    The big smart money is not believing Chicken Little.

    Most countries are also not believing Trump's tariff threats, as well.
