Here's how the MAGA King can lower inflation. First of all, let's say that inflation is not necessarily a bad thing. Inflation is good for debtors. Inflation is good for property owners. Inflation is good for the environment. Inflation is good for innovation. Inflation is how all fortunes are made. Inflation is a very, very good thing. It can feel a little painful just dieting and going to the gym, but there is much to be gained out of that little pain.

Inflation helps debtors by reducing the burden of pre-existing debt. Debtors will be repaying loans with less valuable dollars. In other words, in real money, debtors owe less as the dollar depreciates and prices increase, which is what people refer to as inflation. This helps the United States because our Nation owes a lot of money. National debt is at record highs. We can pay back that debt with less valuable dollars.
Conversely, inflation may be bad for lenders (banks) because they will be paid back with dollars that are less valuable. China, for example, is owed a lot of dollars. China will be paid back with dollars that are worth significantly less than what they were worth when they lent the money to the United States.
Inflation is good for property owners, especially real estate landlords. Real estate prices tend to go up with inflation. Therefore, if you own real estate, the prices of your property are higher now. That is the case all across the United States. Home equity is at record highs. Real estate investors and landlords like Trump, the MAGA King himself, are making a killing thanks to inflation.
Conversely, inflation can be bad for renters because landlords increase their rents. Most renters were happy with the free money stimulus checks during COVID, but not too happy now that prices are increasing. Less consumption is also good for the environment because less raw materials are converted in junk cheap products. Also people are motivated to recycle and buy used or pre-owned goods.
Inflation is also good for the environment because people are forced to consume less. America's consumerism addiction is at record highs just like obesity. It is a little painful to buy less junk at Walmart and Amazon, and it is a little painful to eat less. Inflation helps everyone to spend less and be smarter about consumption. Record high gas prices can also motivate everyone to invest in renewable energy source such as wind and solar. All that energy is free and abundant. We should stop burning oil because we are burning our planet with harmful emissions.
Inflation is good for innovation. Necessity is the mother of invention. When people can no longer afford to waste money on frivolous things, they can be motivated to improve consumption and production habits. People can create alternative products and services that will look affordable in comparison to gas and other harmful products. For example, instead of wasting paper and killing the environment with paper products, inflation brings a movement towards more electronic communication. Instead of wasting money on unnecessary trips for face to face meeting, inflation forces people to use face time, zoom, and other technologies. We can all benefit from consuming less.
Now let's go back to the initial premise of how the MAGA King can bring down inflation. The MAGA King proposes to curtail immigration, which can reduce the number of workers and may increase U.S. wages. Higher wages are the #1 factor for inflation. The more people are paid, the more money they spend. The more dollars chasing products, the higher prices get. The MAGA King proposes tariffs on Chinese products, which means that most products sold at Walmart, Amazon, and everywhere else, will be priced higher.
The MAGA King can significantly increase oil production in the United States. That would be a move in the opposite direction of climate progress, but it could bring gas prices down so that people can keep moving around burning the planet to the ground.
The MAGA King can make a deal with Putin. The MAGA King can take the United States out of NATO and leave Ukraine and Europe to deal with Putin themselves. The MAGA King could buy oil from Putin to make him richer and richer so that Americans can drive around and fly around.
The MAGA King can end American democracy and bring back slavery. Free labor may reduce prices for those allowed to buy things in the Kingdom of Trump. The MAGA King can begin a Civil War. That would reduce the number of shoppers bringing down. The MAGA King can turn America into a kleptocracy like Putin's Russia. The Kingdom of Trump could then structure prices and decide what people can buy and what companies can sell and what prices.
Nothing that the MAGA King can do to alleviate inflation seems beneficial to Americans. Yet millions believe that the MAGA King can save America and may re-elect him into and move him from Florida to the house of whites in Washington, D.C.
It will be interesting to see how things go under a sequel to Trump's presidency.
