Trump is already undermining the markets and the economy that Biden had produced in the wake of COVID and the related supply chain issues.

Trump is promising to bring down inflation, continue to grow the markets and protect American companies with tariffs.

He is already saying he will exempt Apple and Tesla from tariffs (because the bribes are too hard to pass up)



Is it all just another trumpscam to tank the markets and buy low?

Debt. And then they point to the gigantic debt that they created as a reason for more cuts. This is the plan.

+1 And they’ve made buying our debt wholly unpalatable. Great!

Yes. Went grocery shopping today and it was more expensive than ever. Plus the restrictions on the number of boxes of eggs you can buy is not the sign of a country swimming in abundance. We don’t need that many eggs but it’s an unpleasant reminder of Trump’s inability to govern.

Though, every day the media is more openly questioning not only his competence, but his sanity. Let’s hope that at some point a few of these republicans realize that they might be risking jail to support a madman.
