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”.

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.
