HAS TRUMP KILLED OUR ECONOMY?

Word for the day. Or beyond: TRUMPCESSION Remember this one. It might come in handy very soon. Have you looked lately for any good news in the financial headlines? Good luck. There isn’t any. No good words except those coming out of the mouths of Trump spokesmen. Even the man himself seems unsure where things are going. His only certainty, unwavering as always, is that none of it is his fault. “Inflation is back,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity, but insisted it’s not his fault. “I’m only here for two and a half weeks ... I had nothing to do with it.” Contrast that with this…”I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.  And this repost just recently by him…: “Shut Up About Egg Prices ― Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions.”  Whiplash indeed. Every reasonable voice is letting us know that there is an economic reckoning coming. The solid, steady economy that was handed to Trump has been accelerated into failure by a serious of bad decisions, inappropriate hiring, and ill-advised use of power that has gone unchecked by anyone in the GOP. Instead, he is applauded for efforts, and claims, to have saved us lots and lots of money. Without proof. Everyone loves a fairytale, but do you think it is a good model for governing America? How long will your party go along in lock-step based on nothing more than assurances and hope and no proof of anything? Gatekeepers for the country should not be satisfied with words and actions that result in nothing other than chaos. That is derelict management. Our economy seems headed for the exit. And all the rhetoric in the world is not going to convince us that what we’re seeing is not real. And that what our economic lives are about to experience is not actually happening. NO one voted for this. Every day we’re subjected to more incompetence. Someone needs firing.
