Or, the billionaires club wanted rates to go down and thought this was a good way to do it. The writer of that "truth" was likely different than the China all caps one.
So the NYT has an article today about people coloring potatoes this year for Easter because eggs are too expensive but according to Trump they're down 69%. Must be true because everybody knows he's grocery shopping on a regular basis.
You could make the interest rate zero, but that won’t cancel out 25% tax on cars. It just allows rich people access to cheaper loans. It’s just something he could take credit for.
While our military heroes who died in Lithuania last week returned to Dover Air Force Base last night, Trump was at his golf course having dinner with Saudis and LIV golfers. The Lithuania president and residents were more respectful to the military than POTUS & DOD’s Hegseth.
Eggs were only down 59% according to his last lie on Wednesday. Now they are 69%.
And if interest rates are down, why does he need a Powell to lower them again. Just sloppy Donald lies, again.
Oh. And jobs won’t be “up” next month. All the fires Fed workers he fired will be counted in the jobs report. Should bring that unemployment number up, too.
I’m so sick of his whining and chaos and lies.
Gas prices just went up 22 cents this week! Eggs have only dropped at the WHOLESALE level, not at the RETAIL level & NOT because of Trump but because bird flu cases have dropped! Mortgage rates have dropped due to the tariffs but likely WON'T last due the higher cost of goods!
The Dow is down, 401ks are down, morale is down, poor people are now down and almost out, anyone not a white male is being put down...the list of things down is far more concerning than his list of "up"- which if I checked is probably mostly bullshit
So, now he’s gonna meet with Vietnam, saying that they’ll go with zero tariffs on U.S. Wait… what?? What about bringing the jobs back? What about tariffs obviating income taxes and paying for tax cuts??!
You know after repeating (and increasing the number a couple times now) the lie about what percentage egg prices are down by, I’m starting to be convinced he’s confusing “percent” and “cents.” As in eggs are down 69 cents (at best), not percent.
Imagine a car speeding toward a sharp curve. Trump’s yelling, “Step on the gas!” while Powell, gripping the brake in the passenger seat, warns, “Slow down—we need to see the road ahead!” Slashing interest rates too fast is like hitting the gas without checking for a cliff.
F*cking Drumpf!
Nope. Archie was a bigot, but he also demonstrated a willingness to learn … he didn’t like it, but it’s what saved the character. Archie had a heart. Remember the Beverly episodes.
Archie pretty regularly showed humility, learned, and grew in his own way. Same with Tim Taylor from home improvement, hell, even Al Bundy was capable of learning and growing in some respects. Conservatives just missed all the jokes in these shows making fun of them.
As dumb as MAGAts are to have voted for this lying cretinous con-man, don’t tell me that they are dumb enough to believe Trump that “jobs are up” when he & Musk have fired hundreds of thousands of workers in just 2 months!!!!
Trump eliminates social and support services. Crashes economy and stock market. Pressures Fed to lower interest rates. With economy in shambles, hedge funds & private equity take advantage of low interest rates to borrow for free and scoop up everything for Pennies on the dollar.
The job numbers for last month were good. That was three weeks before the tariff insanity. Powell no doubt paid attention in Econ 101, unlike certain others.
Also, he’s a frigging idiot: Inflation (higher tariff taxes added to items) is going to definitely be up! Dropping rates will only make inflation (corp gouging) go up MORE! Guy not only wants to be bailed out, he wants the rip off to continue.
Interest rates are down? Eggs are down? Jobs are up? The felon 🍊🤡 is lying to his MAGAts, but we know better. NONE of it is true. He wants interests down so his OLIGARCHY can purchase land for cheap. I am so sick of this chaos, and it's been only 2 months. JFC!
Politicians should not be permitted to engage in this sort of behavior. Truth Social and X are now weapons against the best interests of the USA through enabling foreign and domestic enemies to spread harmful propaganda to millions. God help us all.
He's playing politics, The fed is actually doing research, analysis, .market research, sentiment, etc. Before he makes decisions. Something he should have done prior to this shit he did.
Oh, he didn't use that crap--he just told his idiot followers to! I think it was the equivalent of a bully making a kid in the playground eat a bug. Actually, though, he probably was stupid enough to believe it but his doctors didn't let him do it.
He made a bad bet and overplayed his hand only the bit players will line up to kiss the ring.
The big boys will just link up and work around us
He's pushing 80, there's no real ideology behind any of this+ his fragile coalition of freelance loons has no real cohesion or power w/o him.
Wait him out.
When a narcissistic autocrat knows things aren't going the way he had planned, he doesn't learn from this and reverse course; he doubles down and makes things worse as he attempts to seize more power. This is not going to end well!
China imposes 34% additional tariff on all U.S. goods from April 10, retaliating against Trump's comprehensive tariffs.As of December 2024, China imported $15.3 billion USD worth of goods from the United States.
He is so ignorant of economics. The markets aren't going to recover with an interest rate cut because the selloff has NOTHING to do with interest rates. And anyway, the threat of inflation in the face of tariffs is very real, so yeah, no interest rate cuts in the future. That's pretty certain.
He happens to read "Groceries Digest" and knows all about the groceries prices that many people are talking about. He got IDed at the checkout counter and everything.
Groceries is such an old-fashioned term. It is just a bag with different things in it. It's a beautiful term, though; and it really is no wonder that we have laws where if you add a loaf of bread or an apple from the refrigerator to that bag of different things, that you have to show ID.
Ugh. Would be helpful if social media users, including indy journos- would think twice before mindlessly reposting & especially importing disinfo posts from maga platforms. Careless sharing just increases maga 45/47 visibility, amplifies their lies, false claims, false narratives, & disinformation.
What? Reduce dollar value and increase oil prices, which may save Russia (btw), potentially cause a run on the dollar and close down America. It's another great plan!
the new Nintendo Switch 2 just announced they will delay preorders to compensate for tariffs. Sounds minor, but there are 46mm people with switches in the US, they will not be happy..,..
Uh no interest rate will not go down. Actually it will go up. Does this guy know anything about basic economics ? It has the word “CON” on it so he should know it more than other people aside from Musk?
This has been his goal all along. And can we trust THIS administrations job numbers? AND…were these tariffs an actual attempt to bring manufacturing back to the US or was it a negotiation tool to bring down or eliminate other country’s tariffs against American made products?
Well gas prices went up overnight night here in Louisiana 🤷🏿♀️even though oil companies were given an exemption from the stupid tariffs prices still going up.
Everything in that post is a Lie ! Food is Up, Gas is Up, Jobs are Down, Stockmarket is Way Down , And the Fed is not going to lower rates when everything is pointing the Wrong Way !
Oil prices fell by as much as 3% on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs that investors worry will enflame a global trade war that will curtail economic growth and limit fuel demand.
Y'all ready?!?!
Tomorrow is supposed to be the BIGGEST protest with over 1000 cities participating. If there is a city hall close to yours, there should be a protest going on
If you'd ever wondered what you would do during the Holocaust, civil rights movement, slavery.. you're are doing it now
Eggs in SE Michigan were 4.99 last week for a dozen large AA and they are 5.69 today, so I’d like to know where they dropped 69%, they went up .69 cents instead.
Exactly, George Soros sent a subliminal message via space laser down to our Chinese microwave ovens to interact with the mRNA vaccine microchips inserted into the chickens, forcing them to stop laying eggs, increasing the price and profit, so he can build more planned parenthood offices.
From Switzerland and South Korea a magat coworker was telling me. Switzerland. A land locked country the size of Pennsylvania and an Asian country. He said this a week before I saw this at a supermarket.
I know he likes to make up numbers but c’mon, 69? Is it random or a nod to Laura loomer coming back into his life recently? (Crass I know, but if we don’t laugh we will cry, and I’m done crying).
I don't think he knows how this works. The Fed has no power, none, to tone down a tariff driven inflation or recession. They can't make the price hikes caused by tariffs go away. But maybe he's trying to find a scapegoat for what he knows can't be stopped.
Exactly! In what world are any of these things down? Eggs are still up and gas has been creeping up to $4 the last few weeks here in Washington. None of what he said is reality.
Eggs are almost $10 where I am and gas is $2.89. Honestly gas prices haven’t really moved much in my area for a while. I’m sure that will change though.
The feds may not do anything until #fElon47 is gone. They want to react in an environment where they know they will have a positive impact. That won't happen until the GOP remove him from office or he dies. Uncertainty will cause us all to wallow in the mire.
I actually don’t give a fuck about eggs. I’m currently watching all my hard earned savings…Go down the shitter right now. He can go and fuck himself right now as far as I’m concerned.

Those kids get to color "dinosaur eggs"
To people who understand the economy, pulling his pants down and shitting on camera would reassure them more than this message.
Giving Trump a transient market raising effect that quickly drowns in stagflation.
We all know it.
Raise them. BIG.
We were denied the shutdown to put a pain in MAGA’s pocketbook.
Tell the truth. Show the facts. Raise the rates.
Call his bluff.
Get MAGA protesting him too.
And if interest rates are down, why does he need a Powell to lower them again. Just sloppy Donald lies, again.
I’m so sick of his whining and chaos and lies.
"If Jerome Powell had lowered the interest rate, we wouldn't have had this problem with the tariffs"
And possibly an excuse for him to take over the Fed too.
'
Energy prices are down because winter is over.
He's such an incurable combo of dumb and dishonest.
1972 all over again. Buckle up for 10 years of misery.
F*cking Drumpf!

Spoiler; it'll come raw, but taste cremated!
Other nations will move after the weekend. They'll need to move in unison. Blood is now in the water.
This is just a starter, main course next week.
Cheap borrowing and price hikes on the horizon is a recipe for 🇻🇪 economics.
You know the country he said Biden would turn the US into.
A fascist communist state!
Pure projection before the election. He delivered what he railed against.
Because no fucker can afford to buy them them anymore.
The big boys will just link up and work around us

Wait him out.
Buying a home?
That’s at around 7%.
Gas prices are declining, yes; increased oil production is coming, which should keep prices down through the summer.
Inflation?
Eggs?
Not sure what planet he’s living on there. Eggs are still high.
America has an ignorance problem.
Oh and he’s lying,cheating at golf, & filling his diaper again! Just like yesterday‼️🙄
-shakes her head-
Who cares if interest rates are down if there is nothing to buy or sell that anyone can afford?
Oil prices fell by as much as 3% on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs that investors worry will enflame a global trade war that will curtail economic growth and limit fuel demand.
He can’t effectively blame Biden or Democrats now, so he is choosing a new scapegoat.
He needs someone to blame the new recession on; as he throws wrenches into the world economy.

Ladies and Gentlemen the POTUS.

Eggs are on your agenda today?

You are so weird.
Ugly, nasty..
Soooo nasty..
Like pukey nasty.
Really now?
Uh. No.
My eggs are 4.79 dz
Was
Gas 2.89 in December
Eggs 1.89 dz
He's a fucking liar!
Does he think we are that fucking stupid? 😡
He is a liar of epic scale, don't be him. Egg prices are all about how poorly we run our bird farms.
I look forward to this dipshit being referred to as “late.”
