And yet, just last week we had an all-time record high in the United States stock market.

Fact matter.

not because of him but in spite of him.. strong earnings and an economy that finally responded to the stimulus money pumped in . it took years to trickle through

Everybody is entitled to make their own silly statements. Trump bashers, Obama bashers. Doesn’t matter.

The only thing that matters in the end is where the level of the stock market actually is.

Price is the last word.

Everything else is just noise.

Wait. I was told that the Chinese were the ones paying the tariffs, not us. Have I been lied to?

odds are we would not see inflation as much as a slow down ... most people are not in a position to buy this and that ..if they spend more for something that extra dollar spent will not go to buy something else . it is gone and a business will suffer ... inflation usually comes when we can buy this and that not this or that

Costs are passed on to consumers. I've seen it in one segment, bicycle sales. Up to 25% price increases as a result of the trade war w/China starting last year.
