Summary

Donald Trump is set to inherit a stable U.S. economy, but his actions have introduced uncertainty. Now he faces challenges including stubborn inflation and a potential government shutdown.

His actions, such as threatening tariffs and undermining bipartisan deals, have unsettled markets and raised concerns among voters and the Federal Reserve.

Trump’s economic agenda, including tax cuts and deregulation, faces skepticism and potential limitations due to a higher national debt and public dissatisfaction.

Public dissatisfaction eh?

The public voted Trump in, and now the public is dissatisfied? Sorry but that’s a bit rich. When you shoot yourself in the foot, you lose the right to complain about guns.

I don’t trust anyone who claims to know what the public is thinking.

I don’t trust any presidential candidate.

You know why?

Because anybody who runs for president is someone who woke up one morning, looked in the bathroom mirror and thought “I know what the country needs, and that’s ME.”

Anybody who has the type of narcissistic personality required to even think of running for president is not entirely fit mentally and inherently highly dangerous.

You should read the part of the Robert Hur interview transcript where Biden talks about deciding to run for president, and talking to his family about it. It’s wild. It’s very, very different from how I imagined it.

The whole thing is actually pretty fascinating. I can’t remember exactly where that discussion is, honestly, but I can probably dig out the page number if you’re interested in reading it.

That’s one confrontative way of disagreeing, I guess. You could’ve done better.
