Huge price increases across the board due to Trump's tariffs, massive number of DOGE firings and resignations, skyrocketing medical expense and insurance costs, food prices and electric rates. An extended government shutdown, sudden defunding of multiple government programs, a huge reduction in food assistance, firing of scientists and researchers.

Who could have imagined the child rapist's policies would have any impact on the economy?

We haven't even begun to see what kind of recession/depression Trump has already caused.
