It will be like 1979 to 1983, but worse.
No, we won't have 135 HP Olds 98s and 125 HP Cadillacs. Actually by 1983 inflation was calming, but was still double digit in 1980-81:
1979 9.3 9.9 10.1 10.5 10.9 10.9 11.3 11.8 12.2 12.1 12.6 13.3 11.3
1980 13.9 14.2 14.8 14.7 14.4 14.4 13.1 12.9 12.6 12.8 12.6 12.5 13.5
1981 11.8 11.4 10.5 10.0 9.8 9.6 10.8 10.8 11.0 10.1 9.6 8.9 10.3
1982 8.4 7.6 6.8 6.5 6.7 7.1 6.4 5.9 5.0 5.1 4.6 3.8 6.2
1983 3.7 3.5 3.6 3.9 3.5 2.6 2.5 2.6 2.9 2.9 3.3 3.8 3.2
So 8e, I need to know what you are saying will cause cost push inflation? Are you saying Trump is weakening the dollar and therefore goods will cost more, leading to deflation?

....and it would've happened regardless as to who was elected.
It will be like 1979 to 1983, but worse.
Cheers!
p.s. Massive deflation will follow the inflation-caused economic crisis, when a ball-breaker like Volker is brought in to break inflation's spine.
