All the financial experts predicted massive inflation, a suffering consumer and a recession as a result of Trump's tariffs. 

Of course I said all of this was ridiculous and I was right. There is no inflation, the consumer is doing great and we're not hitting a recession. 

Why do we even call these people experts when they're always wrong? 

"American consumer confidence improved more than expected in early July, climbing to its highest level in five months as inflation expectations fell sharply and retail spending showed renewed strength."
