Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

[thethe]

Except the reality on the field still is what it is. You can tell people not to believe their lying eyes. Biden tried it. Didn’t work out so well for him.

Speaking of which:

Its a great thing that we have 6-9 more months to reap all the benefits of the seeds planted.

How could prices go down if no massive supply was added. I was told this was the only way.

Mass deportations solves every single one of our societial ills.

 

[thethe]

Wait, no more Tucker???

Haha - Tucker is great and serves his purpose. HIs quirkiness will make it tough to win a campaign though.

We're quoting Cramer, now?

 

[mqt]

Thats ok that this is your angle - I get it.

I also know you hate what has been done so far in this admin and I can't give you comfort in the fact it will continue, at an accelerated pace, and will move even faster during Vances two terms.

Enjoy!

The President made a bunch of people fly into action to cover an important announcement that ended up being a PowerPoint presentation campaign ad. It’s dumb and a waste of resources.

Brilliant media strategy by Trump and team.

Much like the left calls everything racist, calling everything the orange dude does as brilliant really does make it tough to discern what actually matters anymore

A media session calling the economy great when it is objectively not is not brilliant, from my POV

anyhow, life changing money opp for you to bet on the Republicans retaining power in 2026

Is it a real stat?

Trump wants to own the economy. The more people that says it’s him because it sucks will have no excuse to give him credit when it turns around.

Yup - and lots of Americans who wouldn’t otherwise hear this heard it

Cramer is the naacpi of economics

I have zero interest in his analysis. Is the stat a real stat and do you think that’s a good thing for Americans. In addition, what in your estimation is driving prices lower?

 

[sturg33]

I have no idea if the state is correct. My home is estimated to be worth more than double what it was in 2019.

And the house I build in 2023 is worth nearly 50% more. So at least where I sit, im not seeing 2019 prices


But Cramer is the ultimate contrarian indicator

 

[sturg33]

Nothing is gonna correct the inflation problem of 2020 outside of a depression level economic collapse

So you’re in the camp it’s not a real stat. Got it

Mass deportation will take big chunks out and additional real wage increase. But you’re right - we aren’t solving all of the inflation issues for sure. Growth growth growth

Yes I dont believe home prices have been cut in half

 

[thethe]

Yes I dont believe home prices have been cut in half

The stat wasn’t this

 

[Jaw]

I suspect the market is driving builders to build more efficient homes. We’ve seen homes trending more and more towards mini-McMansions for decades around here. Now I’m seeing things that are more like American Foursquare or Cape Cod floor plans, without all the bump outs and doglegs that jack up the price for nominal square footage gains. Outside of modular builds there isn’t a better price per square foot than those foursquare and Cape Cod shapes. In a market seeing unsustainable cost growth it’s a positive change, but I think it undermines the point of those calling lower new home prices a big positive economic indicator.

Fair

That is not a good way to govern.

 

[Jaw]

If anyone really wants to make the price of housing better, incentivizing the modular industry would be a good start. Those guys build better homes than site builds and save an easy 25% doing it, even after the cost of crane setups. It’s such an obvious solution that I’m not sure why it hasn’t been done yet.
