   If it went away that would be deflation and you'd be whining about   
   that.  I never expected a lowering a prices but I understand what   
   Trump actually meant.   
      
   And you completely ran away from the point I made.  Not that I'm   
   shocked mind you...

   I'm not on board with that action but as President he's entitled to   
   make his hires and fires.
