In normal times all of this would be simply be clear evidence of a Democratic sweep - the "blue wave" - in this year's elections. It's not the first time that polls have shown the party in power rapidly losing support and facing a rough - perhaps very rough - election cycle.

The problem, of course, is that we're not living in normal times, and Trump's minions can read the polls too. And as we get closer to November there's a very good chance that panic will set in among Trump 2.0 and MAGA World in general about what will happen to them and their movement if the Democrats sweep the November elections, and they are capable of doing anything to prevent such a nightmare for them.

What does it actually mean to "focus on affordability?" Trump constantly jawbones the Fed Chair to reduce interest rates (to the criticism of the media/Dems). He's replacing the Fed Chair with Kevin Warsh - who will reduce rates. That would probably be the most effective way to further reduce inflation. His policies already have energy prices down. Trump is trying to cut the size of government which is opposed by Dems and liberal interest groups. The BBB reduced taxes on working people (no tax on tips) and otherwise extended the Trump 1.0 tax cuts.

Housing is too high, particularly in urban/suburban areas. What can a President do? In general, he's trying to reduce/eliminate onerous environmental regulations, which should help.

Lol, you think the fed reducing the discount rate would cool inflation? You can't really think that, can you.

Holy crap...

Reducing interest rates reduces inflation? You sure about that, chief?

There is literally no evidence whatsoever that Trump is trying to cut the size of government, if $$$ is the metric and of course it should be. The ICE money alone ends the argument.

No but it would reduce mortgage payments, particularly for first time homebuyers. Obviously, the trick is to lower rates enough not to spur inflation as we were doing for decades prior to Biden.

Mortgage payments are fixed for 99% of mortgages. They don't change based on what the Fed does, lol.

You have negative knowledge about a startling variety of subjects. Good lord, man, I was eight when I understood interest rates and inflation. It's not hard: low rates discourage savings and encourage spending. More spending = more demand = more inflation. There is a reason why the Fed has for fifty years raised interest rates to combat inflation. Hell, longer than that.
