How stupid is Trump?
- Thread starter Mandala
- Start date
I will take a guess
Interest rates go up to take money out of system as the cost of borrowing goes up with higher interest rates?
They can also raise taxes to decrease money supply ?
Best way to defeat inflation is to produce more goods as inflation is too much money chasing too few goods?
Did I pass your test?
So Trump is quite stupid as he lost millions and millions over his lifetime.
As it's getting late earlier and earlier these days I will remind you all, my little buttercups, that Trump is an idiot.
Cheerios!
Cheerios!
TBH, my post was not intended as a political or economic statement. I was being challenged as to my mortgage rate, so it was simply my intent to stifle a particular individual.
He's already senile but Musk and project 2025 will keep propping him up while they do their dirty work.
Your mortgage rate went up during inflation? I assume it does because interest rates rise in inflation to stop money borrowers so there is less money in the system, assuming you have a floating mortgage rate. Most borrowers do as it is cheaper than a fixed rate unless rates go up but it is a gamble if interest rates rise but pays off when they fall

No. It went down, yet the other debater claimed that those were inflationary times.
He is an idiot just like every single voter that voted for him. It's well known that the US contains a whole lot of idiots.
Me? I am a bastard motherfucker who would love to have a society where every citizen could have full free healthcare and education and a nice little roof by being a simple nurse, teacher, janitor, or entrepreneur... To be honest I have much more respect for a nurse then a billionaire...
I believe Wall Street is saying lower intererst rates will increase money supply that will increase inflation, along with tarriffs that will also increase inflation and Trump ran on inflation control
"Donald Trump’s call for interest rates to be lowered seemed to stump The Wall Street Journal’s conservative editorial board, which wondered aloud whether the president needs an economics lesson.
In an opinion piece published Wednesday, the Journal's editorial board delivered a scathing analysis of Trump’s demand for interest rates to drop, which he added on his Truth Social platform “would go hand in hand with upcoming Tariffs!!!”
“The layers of intellectual confusion here are hard to parse, especially since higher tariffs will mean higher prices on the affected goods,” the Journal's editors wrote. “But perhaps the president wants the public to look elsewhere when assigning blame for rising prices.”
The “Trumponomics” of it all in the face of rising inflation left the editorial board ready to enlighten Trump. His economic message also presented another risk, they warned.
“Does President Trump understand money?” the Journal’s editors asked. “Not money as in cash, but the supply of money, the price of money as measured by interest rates, and their impact on inflation? The answer would appear to be no.”

Trump says he is a billionaire and Trump is a pathological liar , OK?
You cannot believe anything Duck Donald says
But you have a point, he has won two presidentcies so it is wrong to call him dumb, he just says some very dumb things
Trump is stupid and not stupid at the same time
It is more accurate to say he is not bright
But it not his intelligence that is the problem - it is his meglomania!
I would make a better president than Trump because I would defer to the experts.
Meglomania is
- Glorious identity They are considered famous and important and everyone should revere them.
- They exaggerate their capabilities They attribute abilities that they do not have or with more skill than real ones.
- They think they are perfect Any mistake or failure is the fault of others and therefore they do not learn from their mistakes and experiences.
- Everything is possible In the mind of a megalomaniac, any activity or challenge is easy for them, and can lead to dangerous situations in risky activities.
Does that not sound like Trump?

Is he smart because he had someone else write his SATs ? Do you consider cheating and not having consequences as intelligence ?
Maybe its just that he thinks MAGA are stupid.
Heard they will rename President's Day. It will now be known as Felon's day.
