They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich
2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor
3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income
Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.
The anti-Robin Hood.

There's a lotta concern about the short run (ie recession or not) implications of Trump's agenda. Dani is right to point to the long run as far far more consequential.
Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

The reason the U.S. runs trade deficits with so many countries is simple: it's wealthy. Being rich means it can afford to buy more goods from other nations than it exports.
It’s akin to accusing your bartender of unfair trade because you buy more drinks from him than he buys from you.🤦

Telling my grandkids we climb light poles when the Eagles win in honor of the New Deal, electrification, & most importantly the Philadelphia Eagles #GOBIRDS 🦅🦅🦅
The Philadelphia Eagles were named, in 1933, to honor Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s National Recovery Administration, part of the New Deal—the NRA’s Blue Eagle stood for protection of labor and federal oversight of the U.S. economy (pic: Library of Congress)
