Since you called me out I'll respond, even though you aren't mature enough to respond to me, but I know you will read this. I never said the economy was doomed, this is your RDS. What I said was that it will cause inflation, and it has. Has it caused as much inflation as I thought? No. I can explain why... 1) Trump backed off the comical level tariffs like the 150% on China and the tariffs on things we don't make like coffee and bananas. That has helped bring those specific prices down. 2) Corporations went on an importing spree before the tariffs started with inventories lasting for most of 2025. 3) Corporations have eaten much of these tariffs. This one blew me away, but it happened. Trump pressured CEOs not to pass it through and many bent the knee. 4) Several elements of the economy have slowed which has naturally brought down inflation even with higher prices. Less demand has limited the impact of higher prices. I thought we would be between 3 and 4 by now so I was wrong on this. What does 2026 look like? 1) Tariffs could disappear any day now via SCOTUS which would be good and invalidate any points below. 2) Pre Tariff inventories have been depleted and corporations will have no choice now but to pass more and more of the tax onto consumers. 3) A new fed chair will drop rates which will cause more investment and higher inflation. So assuming 1 doesn't happen, I believe 2 and 3 will drive inflation higher during this year. We'll see...

In an interview, the president said he should have ordered the National Guard to take the machines to find evidence of fraud, but added that the Guard might not have had the sophistication to do so. The statement also came as he has continued his attacks on digital voting machines, saying that he wants to “lead a movement” to get rid of them altogether in advance of this year’s midterm elections. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/us/trump-voting-machines-2020-election.html Trump knows he's going to lose the midterms. He knows he's going to be impeached after losing the election. He's said both. He's also said he would like to cancel the midterms. Magas will say he's just trolling, he supports democracy and anyone who suggest this has TDS. Smart people listen to what he's said and see what he's done in the past and know this is a strong possibility.

After Jan 6, during the impeachment, McConnell voted not guilty in an attempt to save face with his base but at the same time hoping that the new Biden admin would hold him accountable, or that the events were so politically bad that it would end Trump's career forever. Then Merrick Garland, so played the prosecutions for similar reasons, didn't want to make democrats looks bad and rally the trump base, and at the same time just hoping that he would go away. Listen, and understand! That Trump is out there. He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead.

That was the strategy that got us on the situation we are in now.

Should we talk about the authoritarian measures of his second term? Looks like I was right and it wasn't just TDS. -

Every time you accuse me of having TDS, I'll just find another example of where I was actually right. -

When people like Jerry say we have TDS, it's good to show them we actually were right all along. Eventually they'll get it. -

Most ate them initially, more and more passing them on. This year they will have no choice, prices will rise further. -

Also the thread title says "might", he won't. He can't. He's just saying stuff so his base hears it and likes it. -

As I side, I was right, as I've been largely right about what Trump has done while you keep accusing me of having TDS. In would suit you better to start listening to people like me and not newsmax and gateway pundit when it comes to trump.
