Leopards having a real face buffet right about now.
Have the day you voted for.
A good % of them were inevitable. This was going to happen regardless of the administration.
My friend, have you read any news at all for the last year?
The US was actually recovering better than most countries from covid, we had some issue with inflation, but overall a really healthy looking economy. If you look at the charts unemployment, inflation, wage growth, etc. all have a turning point around the time Trump took over (for the worse).

The US economy was set to be the "envy of the world" in Oct 2024 according to The Economist, on track for an inflation soft landing and strong productivity numbers and trust in the US dollar.
