Well my house value has jumped about $80,000 since Trump took office. In another year or two I may even sell, something I hadn't planned for 5 or more years.
The new homes in this area have also been selling quite quickly as well for rich prices but I do not keep tabs too closely since I'm not in that market.
So to say Trump's tariffs has hurt the house-buyer and consumer, well, pick another straw man. The housing market in many select areas is doing well.
I supplied a link many weeks ago about the Treasury coffers growing yuuuuge thanks to the tariffs. You did not comment on that nor questioned it then. Now, you say something differently.
I read both breitbart and at times zerohedge. I'd prefer breitbart to zerohedge which seems loaded with short sellers and SHTF type writers and readers. I do question many of the writers' objectives at zerohedge. Zerohedge is now just slightly better than the pump and dump stock web sites we've come accustomed to since the 'net exploded.
