trump promises huge deflation

[pjmret]

Prices will come down,” Trump told voters during a speech last week laying out his vision for a return to the White House. “You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.” Prices will come down and come down dramatically and come down fast,” he said.

of course, he has no plan on how to do that. Just like he promised a new health care plan, infrastructure, and eliminating the deficit and debt, he hasn't a clue how to do that.

even worse, "“The way to bring about deflation would be to create a massive recession. That would cause businesses to start cutting prices,” Wolfers said.

so basically trump is promising a massive recession. not that his supporters are smart enough to realize that.

It is entirely impossible that most prices in the supermarket will actually decrease. That happens only with a few items, like dairy and eggs and vegetables. What Trump wants to do is to put a 10% tariff on all imports.

That would include Canadian potatoes, Mexican avocados, Chilean Sea Bass, Peruvian Quinoa. and he also claims that the prices of these items would not rise due to the tariff.

This is because Trump is either lying or really, really dumb.

taffis raise prices and hurt the economy. as a supposed business person, he should know this. maybe he does, or else he figures his voters are just plain stupid.
