It’s the economy. Turns out most people are really selfish, and if they feel good about their money, they’re happy.
I am very confident there is a recession coming. And a big part of it will be due to Trump’s actions:
Federal worker layoffs take economic activity off the table.
Halting various grants and programs takes economic activity off the table and leads to layoffs
Halting payments to farmers takes economic activity off the table, and leads farmers to tighten their belts (or worse)
Tariffs make things more expensive and take economic activity off the table
All of those things will directly impact consumer spending, which is 68% of the economy.
Already we have:
Prices rising
Unemployment rising
Weakening consumer sentiment and spending
ADP jobs report out today showed 77,000 private jobs added, vs expectation of 148,000
Target said this week they’ve seen a significant drop in Feb sales.
This will be his undoing. The only question is whether it gets bad enough that he doesn’t make it to 2028
