    It's the lazy stupid underwater basket weaving leftists who have no idea.

    They just squeal like the pigs they are and repeat whatever poop the NY
    Times farts out.

    Sure he does. Damaging the standing of the US in the world, destroying the value of the US dollar and driving the US economy into the ground is all
    part of the plan.

    Prices always drop during a depression.

    Unless something called “stagflation” happens ...

    So does income.

    Depression - recession plus deflation

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_depression>, “Definitions”:

    Generally, periods labeled depressions are marked by a substantial
    and sustained shortfall of the ability to purchase goods relative
    to the amount that could be produced using current resources and
    technology (potential output).[3] Another proposed definition of
    depression includes two general rules:[4][5]

    1. a decline in real GDP exceeding 10%, or
    2. a recession lasting 2 or more years.

    Further above from that:

    Other signs of depression are prices deflation, financial crises,
    stock market crash or even bank failures, or even specific
    behaviour of economic agents or population, that are also common
    or also non common elements of a depression that do not normally
    occur during a recession.

    Yes, but stagflation is not lowering prices.

    Precisely my point.

    So, the choices are two.

    1) [Trump] lowers prices by engineering a depression
    2) he fails to lower prices by engineering inflation - stag or
    otherwise.

    Those are possibilities for what might happen, not choices that the US President is smart enough to make.
