Summary

President Joe Biden touted his administration’s economic recovery efforts, citing job growth, reduced inflation, and infrastructure investments, as he prepares to hand off a strong economy to Donald Trump.

Biden criticized Trump’s proposed steep tariffs on imports, warning they could harm the economy and reintroduce inflation.

Trump plans tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada, raising concerns about trade disruptions similar to those seen during his first term.

Economists caution that such policies could quickly reverse recent economic gains and weaken the U.S. economy.

    Nah. It takes much more to build than to burn down. This is why bush senior had to do the things that angered his base. Whats been built in the last four years will fall within 2. Even trumps first term it was actually covid which allowed him to get through it. Obama was not able to really get things good in two after bush jr.s two wars and when trump dropped rates and overheated everything the market was due for a big crash but covid ironically created this wierd condition were it bounced back due to the stimulus of the checks and just that generally the haves did not want to fuck around with that shit going. Everything became about keeping things going. Its gonna be a rough few years coming up.
