Huh? Just because inflation’s falling doesn’t mean incomes are rising (they’d have to be growing faster than the falling-but-still-high inflation). In fact incomes have been taking a big hit (See first graph here https://t.co/qaGJF5QIq2). Do you need any more material grounding? https://t.co/jzgqrEQ0BI

An idea so crazy …. Let’s say there are 100M people in the US who think a second Trump presidency would be a huge disaster. In order to reach Trump’s reported $5 billion ‘dropout price,’ they’d each have to contribute an average of only $50. Seems doable! https://t.co/McjEBTmp3Z

The leading solutions to this mystery (from my readers-not me) are 1) He thinks it will help slow inflation (and a possible Fed-induced pre-Nov. recession) by lowering wages; 2) He thinks he has time to sluice in as many as possible, then reverse course in time for election. https://t.co/RVyvNyRhVk
