I literally discounted the stock market and you referenced.......the stock market. He hammered countries that have been free loading/leaning off/on us since well before GWB was in office. Unemployment? Smashes records, particularly for minority unemployment. You don’t care about abortion? That’s fine, but you need to give me something that’s not subjective (including soy bean farmers and no alternative to the needed tariffs).
Hopefully an effective vaccine or treatment can be developed and we can bury it before then.
The guy is a terrible leader all around. I would argue the market was already on track to rise in 2016 and that it has continued to rise in spite of Trump. It’s probably artificially juiced at this point though and I think we will see a big correction sooner or later. We’ll never know regardless. The stock market is also a terrible indicator of how the country is doing when 70% of Americans don’t own any stock.
I don’t care about wedge issues like abortion. It’s just something politicians bring up around election time to get the single issue voters in-line. I don’t mind him going after China but using tariffs to do so is beyond stupid. As a result, we now have soy bean farmers in the Midwest living off of government subsidies.
All of these issues could be handled in a better way. He’s all fluff and no depth. I don’t think he’s this evil mastermind or anything, I just think he’s stupid.
