Didn't Trump say other countries were sending millions of their young military-aged men, the insane, the rapist, the vicious criminals, and pet-eating people into the USA to bring us down? Sounds like a cultist declaration and about as unhinged as one can get. Certainly, at least one sycophant, you, is sucking it up like Kool-Aid.
The EU is just playing for time - time to circumvent the US trade - the trade deficit with the US is 200B - the EU is a net exporter to the US by 200B.Maybe, like Canada, the EU will take the easiest route and work around Trump's tariffs too. Have you seen the posts about Canada avoiding his tariffs? It doesn't look good for us with the rising costs of steel, copper, potash, and... tomatoes.
Prices are rising because of the tariffs: vehicles-6 to 10k, food-3%, housing-14K, and god knows what else. I'm guessing the cost of building that border wall is up as well.

A key difference between the EU agreement and Canada is that goods covered by the USMCA are exempt from the tariffs. Prices on certain items have risen as a result of the tariffs (ex. Walmart raises prices on some items) but at an aggregate level, the CPI somewhat surprisingly remains well below the four year average under the previous administration.Maybe, like Canada, the EU will take the easiest route and work around Trump's tariffs too.

It returned to normal after the big drop in Q1.
The projection is strong with this one. You’ve mistaken your tantrum for global consensus again. Strange how a "universally hated" man draws massive crowds, secures historic trade deals, triggers global elites, survives endless investigations, presides over a booming stock market, rising wages, historic peace deals, and still lives rent-free in your head. If he’s such a fool, what does that say about the people who can't beat him, silence him, or stop obsessing over him? Maybe it’s not admiration you’re lacking, it’s introspection.
What were you predicting about the economy six months ago?
Yep. No comparison. Biden kept spending on top of Trump’s Covid stimulus package. Inflation rate peaked at over 9%. Overall prices rose 21.2% during his term.
Oh, dear, is that kool aid going down nicely?
Biden made several trade deals and I don’t recall them being headline news. Eventually people need to ask themselves why does the mainstream media fawn over Trump so much?
Nobody said inflation was below the target rate. Joe Biden actually thought he inherited 9% inflation and was surprised to learn it spiked to that under his watch.Poor BabyBoom is so desperate to deflect. Inflation is above the target rate and going in the wrong direction.
Agree. Buying time, placating are the best tactics when dealing with Trump. He will either change, cave or morph into some rant.
"Placated the bully?” Please. The EU folded like a cheap lawn chair at the first hint of pressure. This wasn’t diplomacy, it was economic triage. They didn’t buy time; they rented survival on America’s terms. The only thing they negotiated was the shape of the boot on their neck, and they still thanked us for the privilege.
Glug, glug, glug - you really can't get enough of that kool aid, can you?

Refute it or STFU!!
