Economy Drumpfers feel bad about the economy even though the economy is extremely strong backed by data

[Loiosh]

What generally happens is that prices don't come down but wages and wealth levels rise faster. And that's been what has happened recently.

People expect prices to come down and resent others making more money.

Stupid ass insult name. I prefer trumpturds or tards.

The question doesn't make sense. Things are more expensive because people are making and spending more money.

That's unfortunate, but most people are.

Where did you get that 7.5 billon from, David Dennison, John Barron or John Miller?
I would get a cramp in my hand, typing out all of 3rd generation Trust fund Baby's Trump's business failures. The only thing he did decent at was Real Estate which wait for it, his grandma who started the company he is currently head of, got her start. Dude could not even make money in a casino, and that included his Daddy losing millions in them on purpose to keep his bad at business son afloat.
Trump is a dude that was born on 3rd base and brags to everyone he hit a triple.

Less than 6 weeks ago, Forbes estimated Trump's net worth as $7.5 billion.

Continuing the baseball narrative; it's more like Trump is a random MLB All-Star, bragging about being a Babe Ruth.

jesus. i'd be shocked if actual hard assets of his go as high as a billion. he probably has a couple mil in cash and he borrows like crazy with real estate as collateral.
there's ZERO way he is worth 7 billion.

Trump has stated for the last 40 years he has accumulated his wealth from a small million dollar loan from his Daddy, which is impossible to believe if you are not in a cult. Trump is currently running the company his grandma started.
The fact the dude has stone faced told that lie for 40+ years when it is so easy to disprove, means Trump is an insecure psycho. Trump even told that fucking lie in the Presidential debates.
Ole Man Joe and Ole Man Trump were both born in the 1940's, I am sure when they grew up they never saw one gay dude or chick for that matter. I mean one is 80 and the other is damn near 80. If you were a gay man in the 1940's thru 1960's you just told every one your were happy bachelor and every one assumed you were just not getting married because you were getting lots of chicks when actually you were getting a ton of dicks.
Cliffs Trump and Biden are really fucking old and unfortunately those are our choices.
Also I am calling the million dollar loan lie a lie, then you went to black people for some reason. Did Trump make all his money from one single million dollar loan from his Daddy?

Trump was born and raised in NYC. He was 23 years old when the Stonewall riots happened - in his home city.

He's worked in the media for almost 40 years. LGBTIQA+ people aren't exactly aliens to him.

This is a fantastic question; just not for the reasons you think it is.

Let's say you had a business that sold buttons. Your first year in business you have a difficult time making sales, and you're forced to drop the price of your buttons from $4 to $2 to try and increase demand. You have to do this because people don't have the disposable income to be able to afford more expensive buttons.

A year later you find that so many people are buying your buttons that you can't keep up with demand, so you double the price of those buttons to $4, and they still sell just fine at that price point.

From your perspective as a business owner, which year's economy was better?

From the perspective of the buyer, which year's economy was better?

I'm not saying this correlates to the world economy over the last few years, but it's a simple hypothetical to demonstrate how "good economy" can mean different things to different people. Everything being cheap doesn't in and of itself mean the economy is doing well. When gas was $1.25 a gallon during the pandemic, that wasn't exactly a good indicator of a strong economy now, was it? No, it was an indicator of supply crashing.

It's a complex topic with a myriad of factors ranging from supply, demand, input costs, corporate profits, et cetera...

Better explanation than most. Where can I find your buttons?
