If inflation is truly brought under control...

The main driver of inflation is fed.gov spending and devaluation of the dollar... which, NOBODY - including Trump - ever talks about.

In fact, they all, including Trump, spend like bitches at the mall, and weaponize the dollar, scaring investors, particularly foreign investors, away from it.

To his credit, Trump seems to notice the folly of dollar weaponization, and has brought revenues up via tariffs etc., but is still a big spender.

Agree about the spending. In my opinion President Trump has made two big mistakes: not taking Elon’s recommendations more seriously (despite what he says publicly, he clearly doesn’t really care much about the deficit or the national debt), and prematurely declaring victory against inflation and demanding that the fed continue lowering interest rates when inflation is still a problem, which basic economics and history says you are NOT supposed to do.
