Anyone remember this list? You may disagree with these ideas, or Trump's methods, but this is what he campaigned on. I think it's fair to say he's trying to keep these promises. Isn't that what a President is supposed to do?

@Sleepyguy saidBiden handed Trump the inflation issue on a silver platter, but essentially all of his economic policies - massive government deficit spending, tariffs, pushing the fed to lower interest rates, middle east wars - so far have been inflationary.

Consumer prices would be much lower right now if Kamala was president.
@wildgrass saidSo one quibble out of 20? Not bad eh?

@Sleepyguy saidI assume this is parody and so will move on.

@Sleepyguy saidLOL quibble. He had an objective and then did everything he possibly could to accomplish exactly the opposite of that objective. Inflation was on steep decline but is now higher than when Biden left office and higher than the rest of the world, and the sole reason is Trump. We're headed for stagflation territory here.
So one quibble out of 20? Not bad eh?
I remember when the price of eggs was 3X cheaper than now, and that time was just 4 years ago. I didn't think it was possible that Trump would have Americans missing the Biden economy but here we are. Trump turned an easy political win into a daily struggle for average Americans. It's hard to cheer on his "success" in detaining tens of thousands of people in prisons for paperwork issues when you're cutting all non-essentials out of the family budget and figuring out how to get by with less.
Each one of those other points in your OP could be it's own thread.
@Sleepyguy saidMost he's failed to do, the ones he's actually done are detrimental to the country.

@wildgrass saidYou actually prefer Kamala 'word salad' Harris? You think this would have helped with Iran ..
Consumer prices would be much lower right now if Kamala was president.
“Iran is a country, but we don't live there, so it's not our country. And when we go there, we are in another country.” — Kamala Harris
You better off paying more for eggs and gas.
@Rajk999 saidA clean distinction. I don't really care that the said that. I'll definitely take the lower prices on everything.

It would be nice if someone here on the forum published a similar list that might be the platform of the Democratic Party? Not to influence such a response, but it would be silly to have one of the platforms be free stuff, as we know nothing is free. Trump was not about free stuff. It was about protecting America, such as that.
@no1marauder saidHey, there you are. Give us a list?!?

@wildgrass saidInflation was already a global problem coming out of COVID—supply chains, energy, and spending all played a big part And excuse me, it is not something that one president just turns on and off. We are all puzzled when you libs say that Trump caused inflation when it was 9% when he took over and whittled It’s way down to about 3% oh well, we are dealing with liberals.

Some of Trump’s policies may raise costs short term, but they’re aimed at strengthening things long term—like energy independence and bringing jobs back.
Curious,,,, As I have all my eggs in one basket waiting for the come, which is for Iran to finally be defeated, are you all sitting there thinking that the war is forever, and all growth will now stop for the rest of our time on the Earth…..that, we will not prevail w Iran.?? Hormuz to never re-open? Wow
We can disagree on whether that’s the right approach, but saying he’s the sole reason for inflation doesn’t really hold up. Your hate of him sure does make your posts seamless,without basis or merit. Same for marauder, look at his one-liner above, sounds like the Suzianne poster.

@AverageJoe1 saidInflation was 2.9% in 2024.https://www.minneapolisfed.org/about-us/monetary-policy/inflation-calculator/consumer-price-index-1913-

It's now 3.3% and accelerating.https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cpi.pdf
BTW, 3 in the OP says "End Inflation", doesn't it?
@AverageJoe1 saidYou are really dedicated to the lie, yeah?

America doesn't feel very "protected".
Trump has thrown us to the lions (corporations).
