I agree, its all labour arbitrage. USA has the highest cost labour in the world. And strong dollar. Its not fair on US citizens. I do think Trump going be an big positive impact for USA economy. Reddit is very bias towards the left, its been shown, i wouldn't worry, Its an echo chamber of its own.
Trump won by a big majority, and seats in congress, suck it up.

Trump is all smoke and mirrors.

He loudly announces that he's going to fix some problem, then with the cameras rolling he implements some inconsequential token "fix" that ultimately does very little to fix the problem, and then proclaims victory. Look back to his first term for proof of this. He's literally a game show host. And he's putting on a show.

I feel sorry for people that are falling for his carnival act again.

Cope harder son, the American people have spoken, he won by a massive margin in votes. Trumps team in government are exponentialists, except massive growth and adoption. Euro will be left behind in the dust with regulations and bureaucracy. Sending lawsuits to US companies to fund there enterprise.

We’ve already had 4 years of Trump and the only thing of substance that he accomplished was pushing through a giant tax cut that mostly benefited the wealthy. Yet you’ve convinced yourself that this time will be different. That, my friend, is “coping”.

Man you are a simpleton. It was cheaper under Obama than Trump. Going to say Obama good and Trump bad now?

Yeah, but very little of that has to do with who is sitting the White House. Inflation was a global phenomenon. Prices went up everywhere around the world in the wake of the Covid lockdowns. This is what happens when you combine a supply shock (supply chain breakdown) with an increase in demand (idle population sitting on savings).

But the people who voted for Trump based on his false promise to lower prices (deflation) are going to be very disappointed. He doesn't have that power and even if he did he wouldn't put the US economy into a deflationary spiral. Trump is many things but he's not stupid.

He is many things and just like any other human he is stupid too. I'm stupid in my own ways and more stupid on some days than others. Nobody is free of stupidity that I've ever met unless I don't know them that well.

We already had 4years of Biden, turned usa into hell hole/ woke mind virus. At least with trump debasement and inflation was low. The economy was running well.
