Did you believe Trump to bring down prices ?
#letschat Do you have in mind what the first 24 to 48 hours will look like?
I’ll be looking at J6 early on, maybe the first nine minutes. I’ll be looking at oil prices bringing down, you know, coming down very substantially—meaning energy, energy costs coming down. And with energy comes everything else. S

We’ve had the inflation. They lost on inflation, they lost on immigration, they lost on—as a part of immigration, I think a very big part is the border, the border itself. You know, if you can self subdivide the word immigration. They lost on the economy. But it was a different kind of—it was the economy as it pertains to groceries and small things that are actually big things for a family.
If the prices of groceries don’t come down, will your presidency be a failure?
I don’t think so. Look, they got them up. I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down. You know, the supply chain is still broken. It’s broken. You see it. You go out to the docks and you see all these containers. And I own property in California, in Palos Verdes. They’re very nice. And I passed the docks, and I’ve been doing it for 20 years. I’ve never seen anything like it. You know, for 17 years, I saw containers and, you know, they’d come off and they’d be taken away—big areas, you know, you know, in that area, you know, where they have the big, the big ships coming in—big, the port. And I’d see this for years as I was out there inspecting property and things, because they own a lot in California. And I look down and I see containers that are, that are 12, 13, 14 containers. You wouldn’t believe they can hold each other. It’s like crazy. No, the supply chain is is broken
In recent discussions, there's been considerable skepticism regarding former President Trump's ability to deliver on his promises to lower prices. The global economy has faced unprecedented challenges, particularly with rising inflation and disrupted supply chains. Trump's previous assurances about significantly reducing energy costs have placed him at the center of economic debates. Most notably, energy prices influence the overall cost of living, particularly groceries, which are essential for families. One major factor to consider is the ongoing supply chain crisis, exacerbated by global events and trade issues. Observations from the docks reveal a significant backlog, indicating that the transportation of goods, including essential products, is still hampered. Effective solutions for these supply chain challenges are critical for creating a downward pressure on prices. Moreover, the interplay between energy prices and inflation highlights the delicate balance needed for a thriving economy. If Trump can indeed find a way to stabilize energy costs while addressing supply chain disruptions, it could pave the way for a decrease in prices across various sectors. However, analysts are wary; lowering prices is a complex process that requires strategic actions beyond mere promises. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these measures will determine if the economic landscape can return to a state of affordability for everyday consumers.
I think I’m going to need to take a vacation when he gets sworn in preferably one outside of the country there’s gonna be so much chaos and confusion for the next couple of years. I definitely think prices are going to go up.
