US Prices to Skyrocket?

[Da Yoda]

Americans might need to consider saving up $ or stocking up on NOS gear, because I predict prices on kiteboarding gear, especially from EU brands, are going to skyrocket (even more) now under the new presidency. Sad times to be a US kiter.

Settle down chicken little the sky isn't falling.
Your comments are baseless and stupid. You're making assumptions based on personal beliefs. Give it 6 months at least and them see where things are before making statements like this.

Fair enough! Time will tell, but I'm not optimistic.

I think so many Americans are going to be so disappointed when they find out that the sky is not going to fall on their heads, and their country is not going to fall to pieces.

It's the Brexit all over again. People getting their panties in a bunch without actually knowing what is happening.
The Pound Sterling dropped, yet not a single thing has changed since the Brexit, and probably nothing will change for the next two years according to some experts.

Really, not a single thing? Food prices are rising, fuel prices have risen, the trade deficit has widened, racially motivated attacks are on the increase....

I mean on a political level.

None of these things were directly ordered by the government.
Neither the British nor the European governments have acted concretely about the Brexit yet.

No way to tell what Trump will do. He's an egotistical a**h*l* with no real principles. It's pointless to speculate if prices go up prices go down. I do think there's a very good chance that the Boeing 747-8 that is often used as Air Force 1 will get a new paint job with "Trump" spelled out in huge big letters above "United States of America", that's about all I can predict. I guess we'll also build a wall? As far as I can tell that's his only real policy, we'll know more in 6 months what the future holds. Brexit got voted in back in June 2016 and still no sign of any movement from London. Article 50 the EU document that governs a Brexit says explicitly that after article 50 is invoked there is a two year transition period before UK can finally leave. Theresa May the current Prime Minister has said that she intends to trigger article 50 June 2017 a year after the vote. Cameron had said when the vote came up he would trigger article 50 immediately but then when the vote came through he decided not to bother. Good chance Theresa May won't trigger article 50 until 2018, then it will be 2020 until the Brexit finally happens though it will probably take another few years because negotiations are not goingg to be easy, maybe 2022 or 2023. The Trump presidency is more immediate, and wildly uncertain. Remember Trump threatened to strategically default on Treasury bills, however, t-bills are still showing an interest rate of about 2%, stock market is gaining so I guess this means that the stock market gurus are pricing in all of Trump's talk as pure bullshit and that he will govern much the same as our previous few presidents. You know stock markets hate uncertainty and there is nothing more uncertain than what a Trump presidency will bring, yet the market keeps gaining. It's going to be an interesting decade.
