From the 23 Jan 2025 "Remarks By President Trump at the World Economic Forum":
"This has been a truly historic week in the United States. Three days ago, I took the oath of office, and we began the golden age of America."
Three days in, and our economic troubles are over. Here's how he did it:
"On day one, I signed an executive order directing every member of my Cabinet to marshal all powers at their disposal to defeat inflation and reduce the cost of daily life.
Stopping inflation is a one-day job: just command it. Trump's plan to fix the US economy apparently requires no knowledge of the economy. Just order it done. Somehow this reminds me of the guy that won the battle by having God stop the sun from going down:
"On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon." So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day."
Joshua 10:12-13
Trump's method reminds me of that story, except Trump didn't appeal to a higher authority, as there is no higher authority than Trump.
