As Global Markets Melt, Donald Trump Declares 'No Inflation', Says World Abused 'Good OL’ USA'
About a week after these tariffs were announced—and after global markets took a hit on Monday—Donald Trump listed the prices that have fallen, including oil and interest rates.
US President Donald Trump on Monday declared that there is “NO INFLATION” even as global markets tumbled, with several stock indices recording their steepest declines in over a decade. Donald Trump’s statement makes it clear that he will double down on keeping retaliatory tariffs on goods coming into the United States. About a week after these tariffs were announced, and after global markets took a hit on Monday, Trump listed the prices that have fallen, including oil and interest rates.
On the social platform Truth, Trump asserted: “Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow‑moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long‑time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place.”
"This is despite the fact that the biggest abuser of them all, China, whose markets are crashing, just raised its Tariffs by 34%, on top of its long-term ridiculously high Tariffs (Plus!), not acknowledging my warning for abusing countries not to retaliate. They’ve made enough, for decades, taking advantage of the Good OL’ USA! Our past “leaders” are to blame for allowing this, and so much else, to happen to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!," Donald Trump said.
