The Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate by a quarter-point in response to a steady decline in once-high inflation that angered Americans and helped drive Trump’s election victory.
What’s going to happen is that the ripple effects of the current good economy will finally hit people a few months into Trumps term, they’ll give him all the credit, then when his policies decimate fucking everything and every poor person, they’ll find a way to blame either democrats or trans people and learn nothing.
Inflation is down, but prices haven’t come down–they are just not in increasing as fast as they were. We would technically need deflation for that to happen. That said, you are absolutely right that the ‘better’ economy will get attributed to Trump and he’ll go on making messes elsewhere until he dies or leaves office.
Inflation is super down, like crazy down.
