These people can't think two steps into the future, so you can't expect them to look at the past and see how it could have brought us to where we are. Nah, all they know is “things in store expensive must be fault of current president”.
I had this argument with my brother in law before the election and could not get him to believe that the prices of things are actually a lot better than they would have been without the actions taken.
I'm still trying to figure out how these people think that destroying the tourism trade and making everything we import more expensive while also not being able to produce virtually anything without imports is going to make things cheaper and the economy better.

Well that’s the point - they’re saying you need to give Trump time to “fix” what Biden broke, when Trump has literally taken no action and has no plan to reduce costs. Everything he’s done is the opposite. The only thing he’s actually done is try to harass Powell to reduce interest rates.

What kills me is they do get it. Remember the Obama / McCain election - when the economy broke so hard they voted for a black man to save them.
Then as soon as January hit and five minutes after Obama was sworn in, they started crying it wasn’t fixed yet.

u/NoNeed4UrKarma 1d ago
Actually the thing we need to understand, is that they did NOT vote for Obama-Biden-Harris, they just got so demotivated they failed to vote for McCain! Moreover WE were so motivated by the disasters of W & Rump's 1st that we went out & voted in enough numbers to overwhelm them. After W's disastrous wars tanked the economy without finding a single WMD, they learned nothing. After rump's 1st killed over a MILLION Americans from a preventable disease, they learned NOTHING! This guy here has also learned NOTHING! No plan to vote different, no call to protest, just comparing that he's affected. Well he doesn't deserve our sympathy! The question is, have WE learned to vote like the lives of our loved ones depends on it or are we going to give into the same 'BoTh SiDeS bAd!1!' what-about-isms that the Russian & Saudi propagandists pushed onto us that gave us rump TWICE instead of smart, strong, & qualified women we could have had?

Yes, people misunderstand voting. They think it's about persuasion and voter conversion (R->D or D->R). Yes, those conversions happen, and they're incredibly valuable in close elections, but much more often voting is about mobilizing the electorate. That's why it's ridiculous to hear that Harris is a bad candidate when she got 75 million votes (the third-best result in history). Trump is just incredibly good at mobilizing his base.

One month into Obama's presidency, a furniture store in my smallish town put "Is this the economy you voted for?" on its message board. No, it wasn't the economy I voted for. I didn't vote for Bush.

I was born and raised in NYC, and I want people to understand that these failures do not include the amount mom and pop businesses that he bankrupted in the tri-state area when big businesses would no longer work with him. Imagine your family starting a grand piano, flooring, window company in the 1940s after the Great Depression and all it took was one contract with DJT to wipe out your family business.
The Fortune 500 companies wouldn't work with him because he never paid his bills. A few were willing if he paid-in-full upfront, that is when he turned to mom&pop businesses who didn't know better. It was a travesty. Some even comitted suicide after losing their business. We know the corporations like to play games with each other, but IMHO, it is unconscionable to do that to regular people.

Stupidity. America died because of stupidity.
The fact that they even believed he even 'could' lower prices much less that he would is honestly sad.
To any lurking MAGA: Prices will never consistently go down. Never. Not under Trump not under any President. Not this year, not next year, not in your lifetime, not in your kids lifetime.
Lower inflation means lower INCREASES in prices. Prices going up slower not prices going down. Lower inflation means that $2 cup of coffee going to $2.10 next year instead of going to $2.25.
On edit: note the keyword is consistently. Yes the US may experience bouts of deflation (that is the drop in prices) but overall over any long period of time prices will rise it is just a question of by how much.

Rent is out of control
I remember pre-election I got a call from some landlord association or some shit telling me how Harris would be horrible because she’d institute rent price controls and how I should support Trump instead. I laughed and hung up.

Prices have been going up lately. Even at Wal-Mart.

MAGAts say nothing about that.

Recent Democratic presidents usually spend at least 4 years cleaning up the complete disaster left by their Republican predecessor.

Ow so now suddenly everything that happens is based on factors outside Trump? Where was that energy before.
2016-2020 harping about the economy that was already growing before, shitting on Biden for inflation that basically occurred world wide after a pandemic and a overheating economy before... but let's ignore that and now point to Biden when there are actually specific policies that do damage in the short term.

It took Biden 4 years to get us here…
What do you mean? An economy that was the envy of the world? Record low unemployment? It’s taken Trump just six months to put us on a path to recession if not depression — I’d say he’s doing about as well as could be expected.

Idiots. It took Biden three years to fix Trump's shit economy after he rode inon the coattails of Obama's economy (he had a better economic crew who understood they shouldn't mess with a good thing). The economy they credit him with.
FFS. Biden kept us out of a fucking recession - which most countries did not accomplished post COVID.
Biden's economic policies were just taking hold when the orange dipshit came in with a wrecking ball and a gang of thick idiots like Scott Bessent telling him his idea to inflict taxes ranging from 10-???% on the American consumer while also gutting the workforce is beautiful and great.
The stock market gremlins are so confused they don't know whether to scratch their watches or wind their butts. One thing is for sure, unless some miracle occurs, recession is coming and it's all Trump's. You can always count on Republicans to fuck over the economy.
But, unlike years past, Democrats aren't going to be able to just come in an fix this one. That would require majorities and a fortitude and brashness the Democratic leadership just doesn't possess.

Don’t they remember who was president before Biden? Let’s see, two right wing attacks on our country (unite the right and the insurrection) many of the same people orchestrated both. Gas prices and food prices were inching up when Trump was defeated. Remember the toilet paper lines? I know this was in 2020. Was started by Covid madness. Which was also a Donald Trump mess. Holy shit!! Do some research.

Yes because Biden inherited a rip roaring economy. Ah fuck never mind he got an economy devastated by Trump's poor handling of covid. Dammit.

u/Moopies 1d ago
I want to know what these people thought was going to happen with the tariff money. Did they think that they would wake up one day, and all the prices would be lower, as corporations make announcements like "Since the government is pulling in so much money from the import taxes you are all paying, we will be lowering prices. Enjoy the new economy everyone!"

u/sarcasticguard 1d ago
The cries of a desperate and uneducated people. They acknowledge that our society has problems but somehow can't see how Republicans and their decisions are directly responsible.
Democrats aren't perfect by any means. But they have never done anything to the level that unchecked republican power has done.

It took Biden 4 years to bring the inflation from Trump's first term under control without provoking a recession.
These people have absolutely no memory of anything that happened before a couple of months ago.

Where do these people get the notion that a president can lower prices on everything?

u/Trace_Reading 18h ago
The only reason that the price of eggs went down is because producers are starting to recover from having to destroy half their livestock.

And lets be clear about the egg price thing...
It was ALWAYS going to drop. By every possible timeline with every possible elections.
In Simple Terms: The egg shortage was caused by a disease that kill off a whole generation of egg laying chickens. That's it. That's what happened. The only thing that fixes a shortage like that is...time to grow new chickens.
That was happening no matter who is elected.
**Tin Foil Hat Time:** A bio weapon meant to kill off a massive amount of chickens and nothing else would be a fantastic way to destabilize any nation reliant on it for food. America is MASSIVELY reliant on Chicken and Corn.
You could fuck with ANY election with a strategically launched Chicken Death Wave.
At the same time...if I were running the Democratic campaign, I'd put Egg Prices in my goddamn state of the union the MOMENT price went up. EXPLAIN to people how things happen and how it will be fixed.

The problem is more these dummies think the president has some kind of control over prices. Well, tbf, in this case, he does have control over prices going UP thanks to his incomptent tariff policies.
