So I mean, the Biden team can say, Well, if things are so bad, how could the stock markets on a roll,' Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo asked during an interview with Trump set to air Sunday.

Because they think Im going to be elected, Trump replied.

That you think the stock markets rallying because people think youre going, she continued, before Trump jumped in.

Yeah. If you take a look at Iowa, if you take a look at New Hampshire. The stock markets been going crazy since then, Trump continued. And and long before then, when I when I announced I was running, I took the lead early. And then I beat everybody, including Ron DeSantis. I call him DeSantis. And I took the other names that were.

Naturally, his supporters will believe the now-record stock market performance is due to Trump despite having previously believed him when he said it would tank if Joe Biden was elected.

Didn't the market jump when Biden was announced to have won? The exact opposite of tank, despite the attempt by Trump to slush money into it to keep it afloat?

Why, so you can hide it and not have to face the utter stupidity of what you support every day?

There's a decent chance he's said the opposite, too.

No. Having a centralized location for the discussion and sharing of information has many, many benefits. Not to mention, less clutter for individuals who are trying to avoid negativity and American politics.

You know, it's interesting, I've been now around long -- you know, I think of myself as a young guy, but I'm not so young anymore. And I've been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.

I mean isn't he just articulating the Republican game plan? Inherit the highs of Democratic policies, tank the economy for their own selfish goals, then hand it back just in time for the Democrats to take the blame. Rinse and repeat.

...Why do you think they have to raise prices to begin with...? It's like you're so close to comprehending it, but also so very far away.

Everyone.

Let me help you out.

  • Interest rates are a major contributing factor to inflation. Trump urged the federal reserve to keep interest rates low.
  • Printing new money is a major contributing factor to inflation. Trump injected trillions into the economy in his response to Covid.
  • Supply and demand are major contributing factors to inflation. Trump impacted supply with his protectionism policies towards China, Canada, and the EU. He also contributed supply chain disruptions with his bungled response to Covid.


Trump's economic fuck ups notwithstanding, study after study show the primary driver of inflation is corporate greed.

Didn't realize this was old news for this board. No shade towards the TC or anyone else, it's just that one of my progressive pundits has been talking about Trump saying "the stock markets are doing great because they expect me to win" for what feels like most of last week so I thought it was a little more well-known.

Anyways, that guy has Trumpers call into the show periodically and so far not even they have given credence to Trump's claims. As dumb as they are, I think even they would find that hard to believe that the markets are actually doing so amazing based off the idea that Trump might be POTUS almost a year from now. That is a truly shit-for-brains take.

Man. If only there was a bill that would have helped with that that was voted against near in lock later by a single party.
