Last time around, Trump inherited a pretty stable economy, fueled in part by crazy low interest rates. Right now, we're on the cusp of the ai bubble busting, interest rates are relatively high, there were an assload of layoffs over the last couple years, and homie wants to deport a ton of people and tariff all the things. Any one of those items in isolation could make the economy puke, I'm curious what happens when 2, 3, 4 of them are hitting at once. How long does his coalition of shitbirds hold up, what happens when he's alienated enough of them with his constant pump-and-dump plays.
Not to mention Germany being in a similar financial situation as that of pre-ww2
Yeah I'm sure that fact won't foreshadow anything about our next 10 years whatsoever.
