President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[Orangeburst]

Not really. I have a guess based on instinct though.
Rates stay unchanged until the full impact of tariffs as well as other economic indicators are quantified.
If continued stubborn inflation plus a relatively strong economy, rates may increase.

If inflation from tariffs is lower than projected plus a weak economy, rates will come down.

A mix of either high inflation plus weak economy or low inflation plus strong economy, rates probably stay put. Or maybe certain rates are adjusted while others are unchanged.

yea, but it is a one time price increase. get what I am trying to convey? what will higher rates accomplish? in fact with higher prices, it will reduce demand, and slow the economy, hence requiring lower rates, not higher.

Joe Biden was an atrocious President. Perhaps, the worst ever. The only thing worse than Joe Biden as President of the United States ... is Joe Biden as a human being.

Joe Biden has been a profound failure in anything and everything that he has ever attempted in his entire empty, wayward, meaningless life. Joe Biden epitomized everything that is wrong with American politics in the 21st century. He was an unaccomplished and untalented career politician, and an empty suit, who had no principles, stood for nothing and inspired absolutely nobody.

We are far more critical of Joe Biden than anything that will ever be posted by the right-wing echo chamber about Donald Trump on here..

Easy to roll off the tongue (type) now in hindsight. Everybody knows. Yet I think you were one of the ones trying to claim Joe was in the top 25% historically or seemed to at least buy it in news articles.

That’s the thing. They’re intentionally misunderstanding the term “immunity”. She’s in prison. That’s not changing. Immunity simply means if she says “o yeah, we also trafficked women to Prince Andrew and Donald Trump”, that she wouldn’t have to worry about having those additional charges added against her.

It’s a very reasonable thing

Yes, but the immunity extends to other crimes for which she may have committed. Her being convicted of other crimes would substantially increase her prison time. Understand Beaver?

I believe Powell is playing politics. I also thought he made Trump look like an asshat in that poorly attempted gotcha moment Trump pulled.

I'm not concernwd with what other countries interest rates are. Not Powells job. Do I think we should have had a rate cut? Yes. And Powell shouldn't be playing politics

Trump’s an idiot. And of course Powell is playing politics.

Once he publicly demanded Powell to lower them, the die was cast - he was never gonna lower them after that.

Trump should have kept his fat mouth shut.
And Powell would have lowered them already.

I think you’re the one not understanding here. If you don’t provide immunity, she’s not going to tell you anything.

No, I don't pretend that all, you dumb MFer. Did you see my point about prosecutors? It's the job of accomplished prosecutors at the DOJ to do it, not the Deputy AG.

An extremely high profile case and the head of the DOJ, has his deputy take the lead? Seems pretty logical to me.

I realize you don't understand the distinction and nuances of their roles. Once again, it's unprecedented. Neither RFK nor Holder as AGs went to a prison and cut a deal with someone who might have detailed info on the sitting President in a criminal case. What don't you get about that DUMBO?

Lmfao there’s a lot of wishful thinking here if you believe she’s going to accuse Trump of criminal activity. I think you’re the one not getting it.

I still don’t get this. Inflation above goal. Future tariffs taking effect are likely to further increase that.

Do you actually believe he should lower rates?

It’s a balance. I don’t think anyone is saying slash them back to the near zero levels from a few years back.

But yes, we should have had a rate cut. No reason to be over 4% right now.

makes me wonder if it should almost be linear..inflation rate = prime rate

Here, I will give you some credit for asking a legitimately good question. Powell's reasoning on not hastily lowering rates is is due to the fact the dollar's value against foreign currency rates has decreased by about 9% since Trump took office. That, coupled with the uncertainty of the chaotic and incompetent international trade negotiations, is an extremely legitimate concern

He’s not “hastily” lowering rates because Trump publicly demanded he do so. He couldn’t be seen as acquiescing to that.

Had Trump simply kept his mouth shut, there would have been a cut already.

No. That is ridiculous.

I never said that Joe Biden was in the top 25% (I assume that you are talking about among American Presidents). I have never said anything like that at all.

If you can prove otherwise, I will never post in the politics forum of VolNation ever again.

Lol you brought one of those Presidential rankings from presidential historians that had Biden ranked like 9th or something.

Don’t worry - I won’t go looking for it.

Link it ... and if I said that I believed it was accurate .... I won't post here again.

Okay. I stated completely legitimate reasons why he probably hasn't lowered the rates. Your reasoning is absolute speculation based on your tribal bias. You MAY be right, nevertheless, the things I mentioned are a legitimate concern

Marjorie Taylor Greene explained just how much demands to release the Epstein files have increased.

MTG is abhorrent but she ain't stupid as she distances herself from the inevitable.

My accusing Trump of running his fat mouth to the detriment of himself, and this country, is my “tribal bias”?

You just taking wild, random shots in the dark here?

I already said I had no intention of going and searching for it.
Hint: I have no intention of going and searching for it.

What a waste of time that would be.

1. You would never actually leave
2. I would never try to affect something like that

You're the one who claimed it's purely political. I just stated some facts why it may not be political. Give me some real technical reasoning as to why he should lower the rates
