$10 trillion dollars of wealth was destroyed in Q1 2020 and Trump may be the 2nd President of my lifetime to leave America poorer at the end of his Presidency than when he entered it, but God forbid the people reading this should be exposed to a picture of Federal Reserve data to quickly make this point. 🙄🙄

Oh, and if post text is limited, pictures become even more important in order to make a succinct point.

> No problem. It’s the Federal Reserve’s Z1 report, Section B1, line 1 [Derivation of US Net Wealth](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/20200611/html/b1.htm)[[Google Photos] ](https://photos.app.goo.gl/oTzHdWJSvTaWHdkX7) The above chart is not adjusted for inflation, but you can see in nominal dollars the country is poorer now than it was at the end of Obama’s reign of terror. $10 trillion of wealth evaporated between the end of 2019 Q4 and 2020 Q1. That may be a record.
