I used scare quotes on purpose.
Trump might be boxing himself in. Oil is printing near $80/bbl in the front but 10 months out we’re still in the mid $60s (and those have been pulled up a little. Gas prices in the south which had been sub $2 are up over 70 cents. Nationally we’ve moved the average to $3.25 w predictions of a move above $3.50.
Inflation annualized for January was extremely hot and that’s before energy costs made the big jump.
How many months can the economy take his Iranian experiment?

How many tariffs are in place right now?
This will likely cause interest rates to drop and the money printer kick up.
I feel like we are about to be in a highly inflationairy environment very soon.

Trump says Cuba will Fall 'pretty soon'
CNN’s chief political correspondent, told the network’s News Central that she had a five-minute phone call with President Donald Trump about the war in Iran in which the president “quickly turned to Cuba” unprompted.“He said that the U.S. is doing very well militarily, quote, ‘better than anybody could have dreamed.’ He said that he rebuilt the military in his first term. He’s using it in his second,” Bash said.
“And then he quickly turned to Cuba. He said, without being asked, ‘Cuba is going to fall pretty soon, by the way, that Cuba is going to fall. They want to make a deal so badly.’”
Trump added that he is sending Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the communist regime to “see how that works out.”
“We’re really focused on this one right now. We’ve got plenty of time, but Cuba’s ready—after 50 years,” Trump said, according to CNN’s write-up of the phone call with Bash.
“I’ve been watching it for 50 years, and it’s fallen right into my lap because of me. It’s fallen, but it’s nevertheless fallen right into the lap. And we’re doing very well,”
“What’s happening with Cuba is amazing,” Trump said Thursday at a White House event congratulating Major League Soccer champions Inter Miami.
“We think that we want to finish this one first, but that will be just a question of time before you and a lot of unbelievable people are going to be going back to Cuba, hopefully not to stay.”
Also on Thursday, the president suggested that his administration had helped bring about Cuba’s worsening economic crisis after the country was placed under a strict oil and fuel squeeze by the Trump administration following the capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
“We cut off all oil, all money—or we cut off everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source. And they want to make a deal,” he told Politico.
Elsewhere during his conversation with Bash, Trump said he is not concerned that the war in the Middle East will cause a sharp rise in gas prices in the United States.
“I asked about rising gas prices, and he said, ‘That’s all right. It’ll be short-term. It’ll go way down very quickly.’ And I said, ‘Well, they’re pretty high now.’ And he said, ‘No, they’re not,’”
Bash added that Trump told her gas prices are “up a little bit, not much, but it’ll drop to record lows.”

Gee..shocking
The Trump administration said on Friday that it could not immediately start issuing tariff refunds, casting new doubt about when U.S. businesses will get the hundreds of billions of dollars owed to them.
Why it matters: A trade court this week ordered the government to begin reimbursing importers who paid for tariffs. Now Trump officials say the process is too sprawling and complex, likely dragging out repayment.
The big picture: Updates in this case — no matter how incremental — are being followed closely by large and small businesses waiting for, in some cases, large sums of money.
Trump administration says it can't comply with order to start tariff refunds
The Trump administration said on Friday that it could not immediately start issuing tariff refunds, casting new doubt about when U.S. businesses will get the hundreds of billions of dollars owed to them.
Why it matters: A trade court this week ordered the government to begin reimbursing importers who paid for tariffs. Now Trump officials say the process is too sprawling and complex, likely dragging out repayment.
- It is the latest in the fallout from the Supreme Court decision last month that ruled the bulk of Trump tariffs — those imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act — were illegal.
- Lord says CBP's "existing administrative procedures and technology are not well suited to a task of this scale and will require manual work that will prevent personnel from fully carrying out the agency's trade enforcement mission."
- "Personnel would be redirected from responsibilities that serve to mitigate imminent threats to national security and economic security," he wrote in the filing.
- Lord said that the agency is working on new "functionality" to its system that could streamline the refund process — ready for use in 45 days, according to the filing.
The big picture: Updates in this case — no matter how incremental — are being followed closely by large and small businesses waiting for, in some cases, large sums of money.
- A key tension in the refund saga has emerged: the court wants to move fast to get refunds out the door, but the government has pushed to slow-walk the process.
- Tariff entries — the individual records created for shipments crossing the U.S. border — have expiration dates of sorts.
- Once those entries "liquidate" and get finalized in CBP's system, clawing back the money gets more complex.
- "Currently, it is not possible for CBP to immediately prevent any additional entries from liquidating without IEEPA duties," Lord wrote in the filing.

A Customs and Border Protection official told a federal judge that the agency does not have the technology or manpower to immediately process $166 billion in tariff refunds, arguing the process would distract from its role addressing "imminent threats to national security." https://abcnews.com/Politics/cbp-im...er-tariff-refunds-requests/story?id=130836864

Trump: “I think the Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself for a lot of reasons. I gotta live with these people, and they’ll only vote bad, and I couldn’t care less at this point. They have hurt this country so badly. And I could tell you about other things too.”
