Frustrated Americans await the economic changes they voted for with Trump - eviltoast

Summary

Americans, frustrated with high prices despite a strong economy, voted for change with Donald Trump’s election. Trump promises to reverse Biden-era policies, vowing steep tariffs, tax cuts, and mass deportations.

Economists warn his plans could worsen inflation, increase the federal deficit, and destabilize growth. The Peterson Institute predicts Trump’s tariffs could drive up costs for American consumers, while deportations could shrink GDP by $5.1 trillion.

His proposed tax cuts could add $4.1 trillion to the deficit, while economists question his willingness to address fiscal imbalances through spending cuts.

    All the while, Trump and his rich buddies are going to rob us blind.

    Yep, people that are liquid are going to buy up America for pennies on the dollar. Oh, and the Democrats will of course be blamed by the demons in the wingerverse.
