Fed Chair Jerome Powell has delivered an alarming warning about Trump’s tariffs causing stagflation.
Jerome Powell has once again said what everyone except Trump seems to already know: Lowering inflation while enacting staggering tariffs is virtually impossible.
“If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they’re likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment,” the Federal Reserve chair said on Wednesday. “The effects on inflation could be short-lived, reflecting a one-time shift in the price level. It is also possible that the inflationary effects could instead be more persistent. Avoiding that outcome will depend on the size of the tariff effects, on how long it takes for them to pass through fully into prices, and ultimately on keeping longer-term inflation expectations well-anchored.”
This is exactly what Trump doesn’t want the American public to hear.
They want violent riots so they can declare martial law. They likely have agents provocateur on stand-by in every city, in addition to the cops they usually use.
„They are not even smart enough to be as evil as you're giving them credit for.“
Trump isn't. Don't be so sure about the authors of Project 2025
