Even now Trump is saying the economy is sick and needs short term pain (after saying everything would be great day one). We had less inflation than the rest of the world after COVID and Trump's deficit, and were poised for a miraculous soft landing. Only for him to come back in and fuck it up.

Gut comes in and smashes teapot with a hammer. “Sometimes you have to break things to fix them.” Next thing dude says is, “I always said I would make some mistakes. But we need to move fast.”
