"Nice attempt at a whitewash. You tried to say a 3.1% annualized Q2 result was actually 2.3% because"

Because I am not using time when the country was run by that moron Biden in my calculation. Looking at inflation on a 12 month rolling basis is retarded. You look at the 3 month or 6 month average and annualize it to see the inflation UNDER TRUMP'S POLICIES. You are just butthurt because the hyper inflation you and the other liberal -------- predicted never came true.

Here is a hint for you - I said that the tariffs would be eaten by manufacturers and middlemen - and I have been 100% correct. So, here is the 'why'. A vast majority of the goods imported from China are low value goods with HIGHLY ELASTIC demand curves. Thus, when a tariff is applied, that tariff will be eaten by the manufacturer/middleman because they do not have the power to pass on price increases. This is exactly what has been observed. So, we got 2 impacts - 1.) demand for these goods cratered (people went with substitute products) and 2.) those that continued to sell did so by eating the tariffs - which is seen on the record tariff collections.

Again, this is economics 101 so it is no surprise you and the liberal fools like Krugman completely botched it.

"Yeah, it was overstated as a collapse"

Not just overstating, you are living in alternative world.

"LOL nice non sequiter."

I don't think you know what that terms means or you would not have used it there.

"OHhhh a fast-food joke."

Are you still butthurt that you could be making $8/hr more as a high school drop out washing lettuce than you are washing beakers with an 'advanced' degree from a 3rd rate university?

"Still not sure why your half a&&ed calculation of CPI was wrong, eh?"

Inflation is way down from the Biden years and any inflation we do see is in services - not goods. In general, inflation is about 2.3-2.5% currently based on an annualized 3 month rate. That is all perfectly consistent with everything that I stated in the past.

"For about three years now I've been reading/watching/listening to all sorts of talk about what was coming because of inflation or bond yield curve inversion or mortgage contract cancellation rates or blah blah blah."

That is because you listen to liberal moron like Paul Krugman still searching for the missing inflation from tariffs - I guess that is an easier grift than admitting they were wrong.

"The only one that has had any level of success in informing on current states was talk of the real estate bubble deflating and housing price collapses. But even that was overstated."

Overstated? It literally is not occuring.

"Probably because my finances are just fine"

Lol, sure they are. Explains why you are pushing mid-40's and still owe student loans.

"I realized 3 out of 4 CEOs I've worked or interacted with were moronic s*&^bag excuses for human beings. So you actually track.

That checks out - only a really bad company would employ you. Says a lot about how you pick your employment. That said, I always thought that Chris Kempczinski was a nice guy so I don't know why you didn't enjoy working for him or was he the 1 good one of the 4?

"Or perhaps you are distracted by Trump's drawing in Epstein's Birthday Card of a, um, nubile female figure, and his reference to their, 'secret'?"

Not part of the new files dropped - this is months old and Trump is suing over it claiming he did not write it.

"Or perhaps you ignore Epstein's telling his Pedo Pimp Mistress that Trump was, 'the dog that didn't bark' about 'the girls' to the Authorities."

Again, months old and your interpretation is retarded. Epstein wrote this after he tried to set Trump up in a honey pot with Trump spending hours with one of his girls and NOTHING happened. That is what a 'dog that doesn't bark' means - Epstein assumed Trump would fall for the honey pot and he didn't. This is exonerating, not incriminating.

"Trump and Epstein were best friends, both had, 'modeling agencies', and both, 'liked them young', as Trump put it."

No proof of them being best friends and Trump kicking him out of Mar a lago points to the opposite. Regardless, this is DECADES old at this point.

"These files put Trump on the plane and at the island many more times than he's admitted."

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE INCIDENCE of Trump at the Island and YOU KNOW THIS. So, why lie? There is literally NOTHING in the latest drop that states or implies this - this is a whole cloth lie from you.

"#19 | Posted by Corky"

Seems you are completely unable to respond to my challenge. All you have is tired and old talking points and that is why the Democrats are still a joke of party being played by Trump. He leads you around by your noses while you think you are Columbo.
