President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Yeah. I’m trying to be “reasonable” and appeal to the crowd who would say I’m being reactionary to insufficient data by giving the administration an out but I made the post because I think it’s the most likely scenario based on the current course
Eh, when asked why you're celibate and never had any interest in shagging a female or male, you got super indignant at the question and stated that you would not engage in any of that and just wanted to troll on politics.
That's an example of a guy who gives a shiit what others think.
No it's not, Buster Brown.
geezer’s asexual?
I’m sure conservatives are totally cool with that word and wouldn’t freak out about it at all.

I'm guessing for conservatives the order is:
heterosexual
asexual
the rest
what would rank ahead of asexual besides hetero?
There is a very real possibility we have a scenario by the end of the year where:
1. Dollar is downbad
2. Interest rates are up
3. Deficit spending is up
4. Economic growth is down
Which would be an absolutely devastating state of affairs
Let me help out a bit.
1. Great. More exports and less imports. Americans win!
2. The Fed’s fault. I told him to lower rates.
3. (Insert the dumbest version of reaganomics and make it stupider)
4. No it’s not. Unprecedented growth because it’s me. Would have been even better if not for (anyone but Trump)
Vietnam doesn't pay the tariffs. US Companies pay the tariffs and pass the cost onto the customer.
All tariff revenue is essentially a tax on US citizens
I don't even mind additional taxes but they are just lying to everyone blatantly over and over.
I enjoys the lefts position that tariffs are a tax on a company that get passed down to the consumer but we should raise corporate taxes because they are paid by the rich.

tariffs are* a direct tax on consumption. if a corporation has their taxes increased, if they try to shift the burden on the consumer they will just have some portion of that shift recovered by taxes.
that said I’m not sure increasing corporate taxes are the right way to go, depends on the tax plan.

Is my position somehow worse than Trump lying to your face over and over while you open your mouth to hopefully catch some spittle?
I’m kinda impressed that every single time I think blahblah’s slavish devotion to Fox News consumption can’t make him any stupider he finds a way to be even stupider
As the renowned king of whataboutism's i say no
These would be
After Trumps first term how many of his tariffs did Biden remove? none
Do we really think Kamala would have had a balanced budget? not a chance we would have a larger deficit
Unless you dramatically cut defense and entitlements no one is balancing a budget

Im not one to complain about the meta discussion in general, and Im sure this post will have the opposite of the desired effect, but now we have talk about geezer's sex life spread across nearly every active thread. jfc will you guys shut up about him?
No sane market observer seriously believes "lower rates" is driving the weakness in the dollar. It's a contributor for sure but it's not the driver.
The drop this year is absurdly massive by FOREX standards and the deltas in interest rates (and in expected interest rate changes) don't even come close to justifying the moves we've seen since Trump started his stupid trade war.
Right, and Trump's stupid trade war can slow down economic growth, potentially forcing us to lower rates, relative to the competitor - which is what the market will attempt to figure out.
When the inflation data between jan-march showed signs of cooling when CPI and PCE came in lower than peak, dxy falls.
When data also points to softening of labor markets, dxy falls more.
When the markets began to aggressively price in rate cuts for sept 2025 and the futures reflect, dxy falls.
But there is also a perfect starm of other shenanigans that is also weakening the dollar (but again for reasons that often lead to rates).
I agree that Trump attempting to burn down the nation and investors looking for other safe havens are also causing the dollar to weaken but a lot of those disasters that are being discussed are also increasing to the likelihood of rates being forced down. It is a big driver -alwayshasbeen.
...but I will say that Trump is checking off every box outside of borrowing costs that would lead to the weakening of the dollar.

you can also raise revenues to balance a budget (ie raise taxes) which actually trump is attempting to do on poker, so this is just bullshit
This would actually be awesome.
its amazing how often you miss the point
this is your form of saying "holy **** this is really bad and i'm a ****ing idiot for supporting this dumb ****"

You should see a doctor. Your chronic anger gives you arterial risk.

I rarely agree with Victor, but he is obviously correct about this.
