I’m curious. President Donald Trump inherited the strongest economy in the world even though it didn’t feel that way to many people. The stock market was strong. Unemployment down. Inflation approaching the “under-control” numbers desired. Many people thought the economy was bad at that time.
Now, the stock market is nervous and going down, sometimes in breath-taking drops, thousands have lost jobs and hiring is down, tariffs are threatening to put inflation back up to dangerous levels, and, to be trite, the price of eggs remains high.
Do people think Trump is doing a good job? I heard a good description: His administration has taken a functioning machine and intentionally put a stick into the spokes of the wheel. This is our lives he is messing with.
I don’t want to hear that we have to put up with some pain. Why? Everything was working. Why is he breaking it all? Do people agree with me?
