Trump Economy and Poker
About six years ago I put up a post pointing out that the good Trump economy was probably very good for the poker games
Every country and both parties here were in favor of stimulus to prevent covid from causing an extended period with double digit plus employment. The US was in better position than most countries for a soft landing but insane tariffs and a crazy war have destroyed that possibility.
PPP, while necessary for small businesses, provided absolutely zero safeguards to prevent it from being the single largest scam of taxpayer money in American history
Between printing money for that horseshit, tarriffs and wars of choice (all of which occurred on trump’s watch) it’s crazy Biden was allowed to ruin the poker boom

The US is in the shitter because of COVID, period. You think its Trumps tariffs or his bombing of Iran in 2026 lol - you're out of it. The price of everything has shot up post COVID and wages have barely increased - that's the problem right there. A 12 pack of paper towels cost like 50 dollars now - it's common sense if the cost of living is up 40% or whatever that number is and wages are up 6%, there's a major problem.
it’s so funny to watch your casual dogshit maga realize in real time the covid grifting which helped exasperate inflation occurred under trump but rather than point that out say some platitude how their own life hasn’t changed since obummer
You're a rambling idiot who has Trump on his mind 24/7 - as I said before who was President was irrelevant. Going to block you for now as your posts are drivel with less coherency then a 5 year old.

Inflation was dropping and at 2.8% when Trump took office. I get the hard core extreme whute rurals aren’t going to like it but trump has really messed things up and it was completely avoidable. Sure he botched covid also but that’s not why consumer confidence is at all time lows.
YouTube is an interesting animal. I was recommended some video of an old guy who got divorced lost it all ended up off grid in the woods trying to live off of a thousand a month or something and the chat was filled with comments wishing him the best of luck and money is evil and so forth.
Then i noticed he has 15 million views in two years which I know equates to about 110k in earnings.

We’re 3 months into year 2 of this admin and somehow it’s still Biden’s fault prices are at all time highs
What a cheat code this level of slavish devotion is
You guys remember when ESPN made a scripted poker drama?
It wasn't terrible for what it was. I've been trying to locate a copy of it for years, can't even find it on the seas.

There's been a lot of touching on things in this thread, but it would be difficult for anyone to argue with a straight face, that governments supporting their citizens via economic stimulus or whatever means was pretty much an absolute necessity at that time ... and it would also be difficult for anyone to argue with a straight face, that the United States went about doing it in completely the wrong ways.
(and had we had competent leadership in the US at that time, I would dare posit that there's a distinct possibility that it never would've become the problem that it did for the whole world, but even if it had played out exactly like it did to the point where it became a problem in the US, the US would've been in *FAR* better shape if there had been competent people in the Executive and Legislative, of which there did not seem to be very many at all).

Trump’s k-shaped economy is obviously bad for poker (and the majority of the country), in spite of what his drooling supporters in this thread claim.
You’re just upset cuz mason rejected your book idea or something

In 1977 I was living in Maryland and bought a small townhouse. I had a mortgage rate of 8 percent, which was considered a bargain at the time, and inflation was around 13 percent. Two years later when transferred to California I sold it for a nice profit. So, thanks to the insanely high inflation we had under President Carter, I did quite well.
Also, it took several years to get the inflation number back to a reasonable level. So after "Bidenomics," which produce an extremely high inflation rate, though not as high as Carter, the fact that it's still not where we would like it to be is not surprising.

You're referring to generalized ideas linking a President with the economy - the fact is the economy is suffering tremendously right now and it has nothing to do with anything other than the price of everything going insane post COVID. It really doesn't matter who was President just like when the stock market had it's worse year under Biden in 2022. If you want to look at true economic indicators look at credit card debt, auto loan default rate, foreclosure rate. It's common sense though COVID wrecked the economy - PPP loans were given out like candy, EIDL loans have a major default rate - the fact is a family earning 80k that barely got by in the midwest now probably has to earn 120k to live the same life and their wages have only gone up 3% a year - the math doesn't compute.

Inflation was reasonable when Biden left office after the first Trump disaster. Unfortunately we’re now in Trump disaster 2. And funny enough you never mentioned it might take a couple years for things to get better until we got to the cusp of your original timeframe passing with the economy still kinda crappy. Seems pretty obvious you’re just making up whatever you need on the spot.

You need to read what I wrote. I was just referring to inflation which was improving until the Iran war started. Also, when you say things like “the first Trump disaster” you should point out that this is your opinion.
You mean the iran war of choice that trump and his magic 18 month economy started for absolutely no reason?
The only thing that could possibly derail trump’s economy starting a golden age is trump!

You can’t think of one reason why Trump went to war with Iran? This is just lazy TDS thinking.
Trump day one listed the reasons and objectives.

Lol yeah. If it wasn't for all the stuff Trump is doing, the Trump economy would be great!
... yeah, he actually possibly will end up dropping a nuke if it keeps people from talking about his buddy Epstein for a while.
... The only legitimate reason to pick any fight with Iran is because he withdrew us from our treaties with Iran already.
So, yes, this is his fault to begin with. And it's quite likely, that his deal to stop bombing them will end up being something that personally enriches him.

Trump will have to face the Epstein drama again sooner than later. He ran on not getting the US into forever wars.
He also ran on releasing the Epstein files. Oops.

You do realize the worst inflation we had and the worst performance of the stock market took place in 2022 under Biden? Can we speak facts or is it just "TrUmP DiD ThIs" over and over?
Yeah, and Democrats lost the 2024 election because of that inflation
What else needs to be said?
They reigned it in, had the inflation down, gave us one of the best COVID recoveries in the whole world... then what happened?
