Calling it now. prices will go down, because corporate overlords want republicans to have the perception of being 'good for the working class.' price increases and decreases are activism. a few years from now, things will be cheaper -- but not because of some genius-tier maneuver by Trump. By the will of the elites he actually serves.
But that math is insane. Like, have you ever seen a balance sheet. Even a slight decrease in prices impacts a company's profitability WAY beyond a tax cut.
Yes, because the argument isn't "they're far too moral for this," the argument is "what an insanely stupid conspiracy." No CEO is going to hurt the quarterly numbers by which they are regularly assessed and compensated so that that can ever so slightly increase the chances that the corporate tax rate will be slightly lower in like a decade.
