Do you plan to make any last minute large purchases due to likely Trumpflation?

[bcherod]

Nope, confident that a businessman who understands finance will prevent inflation, unlike a corrupt grifter who never had a job in the private sector in his life and had no idea how his leftist policies impacted the economy.

Good lord. Your businessman is the biggest grifter ever. You people have not been around this guy since the ‘80’s like some of us have.

What a joke that you would fall hook, line and sinker for a realty TV guy that leaves his Trump Towers unfinished but sells the penthouses.

Didn’t think so.

we’re stockpiling staples and the essentials (TP etc.) filling the freezer and buying a generator before Trump takes office.

I’m expecting rampant inflation. And I also think it’s likely he again bungles the response to a flu pandemic.

"The sky is blue". "No it is not, prove it," says joelbc. Fuel prices rose, the cost of transportation rose, consumer goods prices rose.

Who negotiated with OPEC to cut production that led to $5 gasoline here in 2021? There’s your answer.

You’ll likely never acknowledge this truth because it doesn’t fit within your false narrative.

Which fuel is more expensive than last year?
Poster implied that Joe policies are continuing to cause higher fuel costs. Which ones?

Yeah, because the corrupt grifter in chief sold oil out of the strategic petroleum reserve for the election and now is trying hard to start WW3 so we are doubly ****ed. So let's give our money and arms to the corrupt regime in the Ukraine in order to appease Hunter's (and the Biden family) benefactors. New President, no more money for oligarchs, no illegal aliens, no more being screwed by other countries in global trade. NATO will pay their share of their GDP to defense according to the original NATO charter. The left will continue to whine and bitch, but that is OK this time around, the country is no longer listening to you whiny bitches.

Peak HROT after 4 years of Biden and cumulative 20% inflation.

What is the inflation rate now? Do you think it will be below 2.4% under Trump? Are you actually hoping for deflation ?

Real estate is going up under Trump. I'd buy now.

 

[Flie]

With expected rampant inflation next year, are you buying anything now you weren’t planning for?

I’m trying to prepay for a garage construction since lumber prices and labor will skyrocket prior to next summer.

Nah I’m going to wait until I get my Trump discount soon. Right around the corner!

When did Biden sell some of the reserve?

“No more money for oligarchs…”

Bro. Have you heard of this guy Elon Musk? Peter Thiel? Timothy Mellon? Sheldon and Miriam Adelson.

Laughable (but predictable) hot take from you.

 

[BioHawk]

The main inflation driver, maybe even bigger than the COVID stimulus was Biden's Green initiatives and his crackdown on fossil fuels which drove up prices on all goods.

You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.

 

[goldmom]

Nope. Just waiting to watch it burn.

People might start doing their own pest control

Is Trump also supportive of putting Tarrifs on European whores?

 

[Gimmered]

All of his supporters are calling for $1.50 per gallon on gas, that alone will lead to deflation.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

 

[praguehawk]

I do think gas is on a good glide path downward. There is a glut of inventory forming and it recently flipped back into a contango. Cessation of hostilities in the Middle East may also take off a bit.

 

[Chewback]

Well I post on HROT so obviously I'm too rich to give a rat's ass what inflation does.

 

[ISUBryce]

And their's the deflect.

I’m buying gas for 2.30 in the metro. Cheapest I’ve seen in years.

Yes Biden is a buffoon, thank you for pointing it out. Typical leftist no clue Biden was selling oil from the strategic reserve. Even the left wing media covered it..

 

[win1forthe]

Eggs. I’m buying lots and lots of eggs, because eggs were a major factor for millions of voters, so if I hoard eggs, I’ll make a tidy profit if those pesky tariffs have the opposite of a desired outcome.

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

Stock market should do well under Trump. I'd buy now.

Do have have solar? If not, I wonder how much that electricity will cost to run that freezer....

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

There was always going to be inflation following the COVID stimulus packages that kept the economy afloat. It was a necessary evil to avoid a major economic recession. Mind you, these stimulus packages started under Trump. Then consider that inflation in the United States was the lowest (or one of the lowest) of all world leading economies, and that real wages (i.e., adjusted for inflation) are higher now than they were pre-COVID.

Again, nobody is denying that inflation was bad. But it was manageable to the point that real wages have actually increased and we avoided a prolonged recession.

The difference between COVID inflation and predicted tariff inflation is that tariff inflation would be unnecessarily self-inflicted.

And I am not a leftist - e.g., I don’t support student loan forgiveness. I believe in free markets and support free trade. Those were Republican principles in the pre-Trump era.

Do you support imposing tariffs? If so, why?

Spot on and what I have been saying all along but MAGAs just don't understand.

 

[Finance85]

Yup, half the country are idiots and 100% voted for Trump.

Funny how the smart people couldn't field a candidate to beat Trump.

I had no illusion my candidate would win. He did manage 0.4% though.

The population of the United States as of November 29th, 2024, is 346,189,562. Which means approx. 20% of the population are idiots AND voted for Trump. But it is strange the remaining 80% of people didn't field a candidate that could beat Trump.
