  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

In a sign that things are definitely going well for his second term, Donald Trump is promising to send cash to every American. Tucked away in a series of posts on Truth Social that railed against recent setbacks for his tariff scheme, Trump promised a tariff dividend for every American worth several thousand dollars.

“People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS! We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k’s are Highest EVER. We are taking in Trillions of Dollars

These tariffs are amazing. The same dollar can be used to pay back the debt, keep the government running and give the voters a cashback.

As a non-American I can state that the part in red is slightly besides the truth. Sure, North Korea and Russia are certainly more despised, but besides these two, the candidates for the bottom are rare.

If the economy is so great, why is he floating the idea of stimulus checks?
Like hitting the nitrous on an already fast car. This is America, bud.

Inflation is elevated, stock market is high because valuations are in bubble territory near all time highs (likely due to the former excessive money printing). The projections for tariff revenues are too rosy, but at any rate, they are not going to over the deficits that Trump is generating. So any rebate "dividend" is with borrowed money.

And as we all know, a tucked-away post during one of his online meltdowns is as good as law. It joins the other proclamations he’s made online during his word vomit sessions, like Taylor Swift not being hot, leading the assault on behalf of Merry Christmas, transgender mice, and Cher’s plastic surgery.

He did stimulus during a good economy in his first term, why would we expect anything else this time around?

Also, I like how the conservatives were so concerned about the inflationary effects of the covid-era payouts, but aren't concerned about those effects now.
