But if the government doesn’t release any information then is there any real stagflation?
The thing that made me realize what was coming was this story. The American economy is in trouble and people don't even know it. If consumers are worried and are not spending then we we are headed into a recession and that orange imbecile will only make it worse.
US consumer confidence drops unexpectedly to near-recession levels ahead of Trump's 2nd term
The Conference Board's Expectations Index dropped to a five-month low in December, nearing a threshold that typically signals a recession ahead.

Price of the brick too high, no one buys the brick. Now you stuck with all these bricks, no customers.
Except you’ve got a country of a few billion people across the ocean with enough money to fill that void. And then there’s another country of a few billion right next door that also has the money to take some of those brics off em.
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
Those are Mexican cartel bricks u talking about
Yup can't keep threatening nations we shouldn't use our power like this
Colombia
These countries got a lot of fukken nerve, take back your citizens.
The day it all comes apart will be a huge shock to most Americans.
A world of 7 billion people wont be dictated to by a nation of 350 million for much longer..
You cant tell the international community, ''America First'' for much longer..they'll just band together and sanction you back.
Yup and get rid of your military bases worldwide
Imagine your family being so lucky due to lucky past events that your family now getting all your groceries and such practically for free..only for your drunk senile uncle to come around and tell everyone thats been supplying you they aint shyt and are subserviant to your family. You can now kiss those perks and great deals away
It's an indirect way of getting Americans to boycott certain products. Colombian coffee will cost more than coffee from other regions so people will, in theory, stop buying it.
The risk, in my opinion, is the world market adapting to a world where it doesn't rely on America. If one person is unreliable and playing hard ball, the alternative is strengthening ties with others.
I also think people would do well to track the investment trends of those around him. It'll be interesting seeing how many people he's close to invest in competitors before the tariffs are announced.

The other threat is people just stop buying stuff. What he is attempting to do makes more sense if he has a strong economy. Basically if he did this in 2016 it makes sense.
