Well, their expectations were wrong. That means they should stop making predictions, since they’re wrong.

Don’t hold your breath for positive articles about Trump, and don’t look for articles about the Democrat Party being in such disarray.

Amazing what happens when you reduce overspending and printing money to pay for it.

Any so called economist who predicted a large increase in overall inflation from President Trump's policies should be ridiculed and never be taken seriously again

I’m at the point now where when I hear, yet again, someone lamenting about Trump ruining the economy or the stock market, I just say “Wait” or “Watch”. Haven’t been wrong since at least last Spring 2024’s rally when the market knew Trump was going to win. Rinse and repeat this year except it’s China instead of the election.
