A protest current. I also think that Trump and the FED want to bring down the money supply because there appears no other way to bring down inflation, particularly housing and vehicles.

Thanks about the house. It's weird to have arrived at the stage in life where you are likely buying your last house and last truck, but here I am. frown

I can confirm that Europeans didn't like Trump in 2016 and surely don't like him this time around. His approval rating in Germany is around 10%. Germans don't trust rich politicians.

Controlling the money supply is the FED's job, not Trump's. The FED currently doesn't see any inflation problems. Rates have been going down, Inflation as well. Experts say these tariffs could turn things around again. The dollar has really gotten weak these past few days.

Regarding the house, I know what it's like. We said this was the last house we were ever going to build. We just bought a new car ... probably also the last one we'll ever buy. Scary, in a way.
