The Failing Legacy Press Refuses to Acknowledge they were Wrong about Trump’s Tariffs Being Inflationary
If the corrupt and irrelevant liberal press didn’t have double standards, the radicals in the media would have no standards at all. One of the more common and pathetic tactics these partisans pretending to be journalists often use is to fearmonger about the consequences of Trump policies, and completely ignore the fact that these absurd predictions never come true. Since the 47th President was elected in 2016 the failing liberal media has gaslighted about his nonexistent ties to Russia, lied about his statements on race at Charleston and about veterans and Normandy, and even suggested that world war could break out if Trump assumed power.
The press never gave Trump any credit when the stock market hit record highs twice during his first term, but these same corrupt media figures were quick to blame the 47th President when there was what ended up being a short-term sell-off in equities after Trump announced his reciprocal tariffs several months ago. The same corrupt press also proclaimed that the President’s tariffs would lead to both higher consumer prices and slower growth, even though those 2 predictions are contradictory since a slowing economy obviously usually brings inflation down. The reality, as is often the case, has been the exact opposite of what was predicted by Trump’s opposition.
While the full effect of the President’s tariffs has not been felt, the inflation data for the last 2 months has been very encouraging. The rate of price increase each month has been below 3 percent since February, and Trump’s actions have clearly not led to any inflation. The CEOs at several major companies, including Home Depot and Ford have also stated these companies do not plan to raise prices either. The economic policies of Biden left the economy weak for Trump when he took over this year, and companies realize that the consumer is not in a position to absorb price increases as easily right now. Companies also understand that the President is using tariffs as a way to leverage negotiations for better trade deals, and these are not likely going to be long-term measures.
The facts are clear. Trump’s tariffs have not led to any significant or sustained price increases. Despite Fed Chairman Powell’s predictable gaslighting about the impact of the President’s economic policies, there is no evidence inflation has increased, or growth has slowed because of Trump tariffs, and the Republican tax plan should create a significant boost for growth and the stock market in the second half of the year as well. The same dishonest media that tried to tell the public that product shortages and price increases would ravage the economy, is once again quiet with none of these absurd and dire predicted consequences coming true. There has been no accountability from the media since Trump came onto the scene in 2016, and nothing has changed over the last 9 long years.
The American public is smarter than the left-wing radicals pretending to be journalists think the country is, and with the media landscape more decentralized, people are getting actual and real news to compare and contrast with the gaslighting and lies of what little is left of the failing legacy media. The corrupt press is not honest or authentic. Americans have watched the failing media endlessly repeat false and misleading stories about the President on Russia, Trump’s comments at Charleston, and many other issues as well. The media never praises or gives Trump credit for any action, and when these radicals are caught lying, there, as usual, is zero accountability.
