The Trump Economy

This has gotta be FAKE NEWS...

DONALD told me “We've had the greatest stock market in history,”

Can't believe those liars....
After all, From Trump’s inauguration day to January 20, 2026, the S&P 500 rose 13.3% — healthy gains by any standard.

What?
But it was the worst start to a presidency in 20 years.
The stock market in President Donald Trump’s first year back in the White House was the weakest of any president’s first year of a new term since 2005, when George W. Bush started his second term.

Unless I'm mistaken, he seems to like doing this on a Friday or over a weekend. Does this help people align resources for the next market opening?

Part of it's his negotiating style (red text). Ask for $1000 when you're willing to accept $100. It works well in Middle Eastern bazaars. Not as much when you're president though, as you can unsettle markets and weaken relationships.

That's why Trump wants to cherry pick a new Fed head so they'll lower interest rates which should continue the stock market rally and stimulate more currency creation that will destroy whats left of the dollars value, but it would be a phantom or fake rally which will send precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum soaring to fresh new all-time highs.

Gold and silver have outperformed the S&P 500 since the start of 2000.

Odd...the website shows individual stock holdings, but info is that only certain specified mutual funds.

It is good for kids. How much will it cost us taxpayers?

Dang...next month's heating bill will bite.


US natural gas continued to extend eye-popping gains, ending the day nearly 30% higher than Friday’s closing price as freezing weather sweeps across much of the country, boosting heating demand and disrupting supplies.

Not gonna blame Trump but puts a crimp in the 'energy costs in half'

I've come to this year's World Economic Forum with truly phenomenal news from America. Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of my inauguration, and today, after 12 months back in the White House, our economy is booming.

The American public doesn't seem to be convinced...

U.S. consumer confidence declined sharply in January, hitting the lowest level since 2014 as Americans grow increasingly concerned about their financial prospects.

The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index cratered 9.7 points to 84.5 in January, falling below even the lowest readings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Drug prices (no, not Trump's miracle 500%/800% price cuts)

Drugs that treat Type 2 diabetes, HIV, and arthritis are among 15 new medications chosen for a Medicare drug price negotiation program that allows the federal government to haggle directly with drug manufacturers, the Trump administration said Tuesday.

The drugs selected include some of the medications on which Medicare spends the most money.

That means the deals negotiated this year have the potential to deliver significant savings to taxpayers when they go into effect in 2028.

2028?!?!?
I suppose it's still good news.

I will note that

The negotiations take place under a 2022 law that allows Medicare to haggle over the price it pays on the most popular and expensive prescription drugs used by older Americans.

Wait...2022 was the previous administration, wasn't it...

*AI Overview

President Trump invoked Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 in January 2026 to address national security risks from imported processed critical minerals, including silver, placing potential tariffs on hold while initiating trade negotiations. This action aims to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities and boost domestic mining.

Key Aspects of the Section 232 Action on Silver:

Negotiations Over Tariffs: Instead of immediate tariffs, the administration is focusing on negotiating agreements to secure critical mineral supplies.

Scope: The investigation covers processed critical minerals, including silver, lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earths.

Market Impact: Uncertainty surrounding potential tariffs caused a significant shift of physical silver from London to the US, leading to a shortage in London and higher price volatility.

Long-Term Strategy: The move is designed to reduce foreign dependence and strengthen domestic mining and processing capabilities, similar to actions taken on steel and aluminum.

Although tariffs were not immediately applied, the President has reserved the right to impose them if negotiations do not achieve desired results.

Is the end near for the USD? Records being broken on a daily/weekly/monthly basis while the lying corporate whore media stays silent. A massive rug pull in progress.
