Can someone explain why consumer sentiment is almost rock bottom? it's completely out of sync with every metric I could find, I checked, nothing like this showed up in 70+ years. did trump's first year just mindfuck everyone?
>>61315003people expected trump to, at the very least, undo the stagnation we had under biden. instead he went absolutely turboretard and the current situation is ten times worse
>>61315003>can't buy groceries but at least my smartphone has more AI integration now
>>61315003interest rates arent going fucking down. I literally feel like im taking insanity pills that I have to keep fucking repeating this all the time the interest rates are NOT. GOING. DOWN.
>>61315020Trump was supposed to push the economy into dangerous euphoria. Instead he cut government spending and put in tariffs.
>>61315003consumer sentiment questions are a mix of current status responses and forward looking responses. everyone who works for a living recognizes that they are currently getting obliterated on rising costs. and now basically everyone, except for the dumbest of MIGAnigger holdouts, recognizes that the future will bring nothing but misery and destruction, endless jeet/spic immigrants, $800k starter homes, etc.
>>61315091at least chief sodomite scott "child molester" bessent (brought to you by Soros™ Fund Management) said that zognald is considering dropping the coffee tariff. MIGA!
>>61315020how can it be as bad as peak covid or when inflation was like 30% a year? because that's what the graph is saying.
>>61315123because people had hope for the future. that is now gone.
>>61315123people are retarded and think inflation going away means prices deflating.>deflation, now that's a REAL risk!
>>61315138the media should just tell them we're going to have robot butlers and AI researchers are going to cure cancer. they did that in 1999 with the internet, a lot of movies back then glorified the tech with 3D hacking scenes and magic internet bullshit.
>>61315123Imagine if your rent went up by 30%. And the next five years it went up by 5%. Would you suddenly feel relieved?
>>61315091AKA austerity. Something that has worked really well every time it has been tried.
well it appears the democrats actually knew what they were doing with the economy and pumping everything and now everyone realizes how much of a retard Trump is and yeah it's basically over.
>>61315003>did trump's first year just mindfuck everyone?He and his cronies cucking to russia and china, and telling americans that they will hire more pajeets may have contributed to that.
>>61315259inflation is constant. if inflation was the cause than the sentiment index would be straight down forever and ever.>>61315282that makes sense, so when does he start up the money helicopters?
>>61315042Nor should they. Consumer sentiment is the only thing that makes sense right now
>>61315003Literally everyone can tell that even if theyre able to pay the bills for the next month, their ability to do so for the next 6 months is in terminal jeopardy. Inflation for groceries isn’t 3%, it’s 5-7%. Everyone is relying on debt to finance the lifestyle they’re accustomed to and are running out of the margins required to do so.
>>61315116But Miga told me we will just bring back coffee manufacturing home
