FEBRUARY HARVARD CAPS / HARRIS POLL: 58% OF VOTERS ARE MORE SATISFIED WITH TRUMP'S JOB AS PRESIDENT THAN BIDEN

[Pommer]

All of it.

I’m all for pithy, short, concise views, but passive-aggressive answers that are simple dismissive don’t serve to further conversations.

 

[rambot]

All of it.

Then I'd expect you to prove it because all that stuff feom the first time around is a matter of record

All of the economic facts and the very, very low inflation from Trump's first term as president are well known. I am not going to take the time to show facts that all of us already know. It is well known that, despite tariffs, the GDP grew at a very good rate, and the rate of inflation was very low.

Great, it’s eight years after Trump’s first trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, how’s things now?

His second term in office is only 36 days long. It is going to take more than 36 days to fix all of the damage from the Biden Administration.

Funny, I coulda swore it’s been like 6 months since Trump has been back.

 

[Hazelelponi]

We've just been happy that long. No seat until 36 days ago.

We are working though! Woohoo! I am happy enough so far... This is a good administration

What’s your favorite thing that the Trump 2.0 Administration [This Time We mean Business!] has done did, so far?

I like that he's working towards an end to the Ukraine Russia conflict and towards ending Hamas, I also like that we have a national border again and that we are getting criminals deported, I also enjoy the fact we are rooting out poor spending practices in our government bureaucracy and looking at trimming down costs and labor within the same.

I am also happy so far with the transparency provided. I'm sure there's more, those were my big ticket items.

 

[Say it aint so]

Incorrect.

The floor is yours. What is incorrect?

Yes, when the whole world literally shuts down the world wide economy because of a world wide pandemic, then you get low inflation. It literally had not one thing to do with what Trump actually did, as juxtaposed of the harm this first term tariffs did.

From the CBO:

"Inflation, the rate at which economy wide prices rise over a given period, had been low and stable for the two decades before the pandemic. In early 2020, inflation hovered around the Federal Reserve’s long-run target of 2 percent. When the pandemic began in 2020, inflation initially fell as many people reduced their social interactions and lessened their consumption of in-person services​

Your claims, albeit irrelevant like the inflation claim are nice, but don't mean nothing if you can't back your claim of my error up.

 

[Say it aint so]

"long been preparing" may be a bit off but they were certainly more prepared.

China has long ago ramped up soy bean importation from Brazil.
Canada two years ago signed a trade agreement with Canada and the shipments of crude has ramped up.

 

[Bradskii]

I like that he's working towards an end to the Ukraine Russia conflict

By calling the Ukraine president a dictator and saying that his country shouldn't have started the war.

and towards ending Hamas...

By saying that he'd take all Gazans out of Gaza and build some sort of playground.

I also like that we have a national border again and that we are getting criminals deported...

Less than Biden did so far. And promises to have thousands of detainment cells built at Guantanamo Bay.

I also enjoy the fact we are rooting out poor spending practices in our government bureaucracy and looking at trimming down costs and labor within the same.

By sacking important people from departments and then trying to rehire them. By lying about who spends what. By stopping all humanitarian aid so that people are literally dying

I am also happy so far with the transparency provided.

Apart from all the lies that you've been told, did you even know who was in charge of DOGE?

We had low inflation BEFORE the pandemic.

 

[Say it aint so]

We had low inflation BEFORE the pandemic.

Just prior to covid we had normal expected rates of inflation.
And more to the point, I made several statements of fact in post #7 you said were incorrect.
Again, the floor is yours. What was incorrect?

We had tariffs before the 2020 pandemic. We still had low inflation.

 

[Bradskii]

Could you give us the extent of the tarrifs then versus what Trump is planning now? Otherwise that statement is worthless.

The statement is NOT worthless, unless you know of a way to have absolutely accurate predictions of the future.

If you say that inflation was low with tariffs in 2020 then you are drawing a comparison with what inflation is likely to be to be now. With tariffs. So flesh out whatever point it is that you are trying to make.

I've already made my point. It ain't my fault that you appear to want me to be a psychic fortune teller.
