They'll corner the market in wine, tomatoes and gender reassignment clinics.

Easily afford the Tariffs.
Can America handle tariffs from both Mexico and Canada. And even China?

They'll rename it Granola when they find out it's all fruits, nuts, and flakes.

The assholes that elected him said it was because he promised to stop inflation LOL, soon they will be praying for prices to drop back down to the levels they were under Biden.

Let's see, it's only been two weeks and he's gone to war with our trading partners, our allies, the US Government, and all the American people who aren't straight white males.

I think I'm going to be afraid of next week for the next four years.

He also in 2016 promised to pay off the debt. Well, we saw how that worked out.

He presided over the greatest economic collapse this country has seen since the 1930s, Biden Presided over the greatest economic recovery since the 30s, and those dumbasses said they voted for him because he would be better for the economy than Biden.  The guy has declared bankruptcy six times, he bankrupted four casinos, that is almost impossible to do. 

His base is galactically gullible and dumber than a box of rocks, that is a bad combination. 

And they all have guns.

Trump filed 7 corporate bankruptcies, a failed airline, a failed magazine, a failed scam university, three failed casinos, a failed pandemic response, the worst jobs record of any U.S. president, two impeachments, and 34 criminal convictions, Trump was fined 464 million dollars for business fraud and is in court for paying a porn star Stormy Daniels hush money. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years

What'shisname left office last month with inflation still at a rate that for commodity average, is still over 20%. higher than when What'shisname took office in 2021, when inflation rate was 1.4%.

Trump has never declared personal bankruptcy. Not once, let alone your accusation of 6. Those were part of 530+ businesses under the Trump Org umbrella [not Trump, the man, they are different entities, even legally, according to law from the 1880s], and they were just not making money; the whole point of maintaining a business in the first place. Therefore, rational decisions. You're dealing with a guy who has a business sense of profitability that ranks 99.7% success rate. Much better than yours, I suggest.  And the 4 casinos were 4 of those 6, not additive to them. I understand if your claims are from MessNBC, or Cartoon News Network, and, no, my information was not obtained from FoxNews. It was from Forbes and Wall Street Journal, and background from NYSE. Why are you so afraid of the man? Sure, I don't like his morals, but I already have a decent moral advisor, and I don't expect any president to fill that role. It's not listed among constitutional presidential candidate qualifications. Nor is being a felon listed negative, by the way. Like I said, my moral adviser is pretty good. Perfect, as it happens. Goes by the name of Jesus of Nazareth, among others.

Take your complaint to all of them. I've given you what I think is important about the role of the president. Any president. I want a guy who can act, even if he may turn out to be wrong. Better than being a fence sitter, and a poor chooser of surrounding staff. That was What'shisname, and his party knew it, didn't they?

Yeah, that's how the economy works, inflation results from a strong economy, it was low when Biden took office because Trump brought us the greatest economic collapse since the great depression.  Trump is one of only two Presidents in history to have fewer people working when he left office than when he went in, 2.7 million fewer people had jobs, 3 million fewer had health insurance.  Fewer people working means less demand for products, so low inflation, and a trade war does not bring prices down.

You missed my point, yes, inflation is bad, and Trump said he would bring it down, his reckless trade war will cause inflation to explode, and increase unemployment, again.

Yeah, but there's the trade deficit, yeah, and the trade deficit went up 36% in Trump's first term.

OK, but there's all that illegal immigration: In Trump's first term, illegal immigration went up 14%, Trump deported fewer illegal immigrants than Obama or Biden, Obama deported more than any other president. Obama placed a particular focus on “threats to national security, border security and public safety” by targeting convicted criminals, in 2015, 91 percent of people removed by deportation orders had criminal convictions.  Trump overturned this criminal prioritization measure as soon as he entered office, just 41 percent of deportations by removal order were directed at convicted criminals in 2019.

But what about the budget deficit: The national debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion, in his first term, Trump gave us $6.6 trillion in deficits, a 33% increase.

Face it, you guys don't have facts, and you don't get results, all you have rhetoric and demagoguery, all you really get is entertainment politics from your reality TV president, hope you enjoy the show as the real-world crumbles.

Americans can move to Greenland if they are not happy with Trump. American alcohol no longer sold in Canada so Canada is not a viable option.

Hmm… it appears that Trump exists no matter what the subject at hand may be. Anyway:

Does the past exist?
It used to.

Does the future exist?
It will.

Do abstractions exist?
Yes, in the abstract.

Do thoughts exist?
If they don’t, then I’m not as smart as I thought.

If something will never be observed, does it exist?
That depends… we talking “Russell’s teapot,” or dark matter, or?

If you have heard that something has been observed, but never observe it yourself, does it exist?
That also depends… we talking Bigfoot, or relativistic time dilation, or?

Did Trump invent Covid? No. Was it Covid that caused the market crush? Yes. Trump's efforts, and others, brought the market back to higher than it was when it dumped in march of  20, in six months. Unfortunately, re-hiring  did not catch-up as fast, and What'shisname took all the credit for that, with the already recovered market having more to do with it than anything What'shisname did.

Yeah, but there's the trade deficit, yeah, and the trade deficit went up 36% in Trump's first term.
According to politico.com it was more like 41.1% [https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/05/2020-trade-figures-trump-failure-deficit-466116 ], but we've had a trade deficit since WWII. So?

Face it, you guys don't have facts,
Who is "you guys?" I'm one person, and an Indie, so is "you guys" you and your wish balloon?
