President Trump is disrupting decades of multinational financial interests who use the U.S. as a host for their ideological endeavors. President Trump is confronting multinational corporations and the global constructs of economic systems that were put in place to the detriment of the host (USA) ie. YOU. There are trillions at stake; it is all about the economics; all else is chaff and countermeasures. We are already familiar how China, Mexico and ASEAN nations export our raw materials (ore, coking coal, rare earth minerals etc.). The raw materials are used to manufacture goods overseas, the cheap durable goods are then shipped back into the U.S. for purchase.

Trillions at stake? You mean like this year's FOURTEEN Trillion dollar budget?
Remember when we all had a collective cow because our national debt was approaching 20 Trillion? Now we spend that much in a year, without batting an eye. smh

Between the irrational hatred of Leftists and things like this, please pray for the safety of President Trump and his family.

I'm confused by this article. If all the food, industrial materials, and commodities used to produce goods and services are controlled by a near monopoly of international businesses, why is price inflation less than 1.5% and falling? I would think that such a system would result in forced shortages and high margin retail business. Most grocery stores are barely able to realize a 2% net margin on their revenues and have to offer aggressive price cutting schemes to compete with COSCO, Walmart and Target. Most banks that don't participate in foreign exchange arbitrage and other fee services like underwriting initial public offerings are barely profitable and frequently need to merge to stay in business. Global interest rates are falling like a rock and some sovereign debt instrument offer negative rates.
I agree that companies have scaled up enormously since World War II due to more efficient communication (internet) and advanced business tools like cloud computing and containerized shipping on a global scale. What Trump is promoting is not a rejection of the best business practices that work well but a reassessment of the security risks of depending on international supply chains that are not balanced and redundant.

Because real inflation is not 1.5%. It wasn't long ago I could buy the bread I liked for $2. It now costs over $4. Everything has become a lot more expensive over the last 10 years or more. Money doesn't go very far anymore.

Look at the graphs that show Big Mac inflation. According to govt inflation it should only cost about $2.40, but it doesn't does it. Same for a lot of food. Which supports what Treehouse article discusses.

Not so long ago, a McD's cone was on the $1 value menu. Now they charge $1.60 plus tax.

Why bother exporting USA raw materials when you got someone like the Butcher selling them for pennies on the dollar to enrich herself.

I still don't understand how 'they' get our raw materials & resources so cheaply and make a profit? For a household that raised 2 daughters and 3 sons, we easily went through 4-5 gals on milk per week. By the time our youngest was in high school, the number of gals went down, but cost was up to as high as $4 per gallon. Ten years later, a gal of milk has become crazy low at $.99 at Aldi's and WM. How do the dairy producers even pay to keep the electric milkers on? Or is this on the way to another monopoly so milk can go back to $4 a gal and beyond?

#4, the "Official" calculation for the consumer price index does not include food or energy.
Hmm...

#9 - The only way to be a profitable dairy producer is either to have found a niche for your product, or mass produce with huge herds and automation. My cousin runs 800 head in Wisconsin and is doing okay. Years ago he had 80 milking. He saw the future and proceeded to grow over the years. Three tank truckloads of milk leave the place every day. The profit is in volume.
Other cousins who followed in the more traditional path are out of business, most selling out to this cousin. Family farms are dying, for better or worse, for a number of reasons. One is that the next generation would rather do something else for a living.

Why there are so many willing to spend billions to get rid of Trump. He is interfering with their takeover of the entire USA life's blood of jobs and production, working on taking over the whole WORLD's jobs and production.
I'm sure these folks are very upset at losing control of EVERYTHING, like they used to have.
