    Inflation is super down, like crazy down.

    What’s going to happen is that the ripple effects of the current good economy will finally hit people a few months into Trumps term, they’ll give him all the credit, then when his policies decimate fucking everything and every poor person, they’ll find a way to blame either democrats or trans people and learn nothing.

      Inflation is down, but prices haven’t come down–they are just not in increasing as fast as they were. We would technically need deflation for that to happen. That said, you are absolutely right that the ‘better’ economy will get attributed to Trump and he’ll go on making messes elsewhere until he dies or leaves office.

          That’s because crapitalism values profit over people, the environment or even business practices that would keep businesses open. Americans have a really hateful view of “fiduciary duty.” It’s morally/ethically bankrupt.
