Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.
Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.
But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.
And what exactly do you propose we do?
This.
I’m not sure what you mean by “we” in this new age of strident nationalism and creeping isolationism. I don’t even know generally what should be done, let alone exactly. It has to do with money, power, greed, human nature…all that shit and more I assume. I guess I will do one thing today that I have control over. I’m Canadian and I will vote today.
