All things considered, it has only been about 3 months since Trump took office, I feel like there is absolutely no way that this was just a single craze and from here things will even out.

I feel like until 2028 (or maybe 2026?) S&P 500 is going to look like a roller coaster.

What do you think?

    Was it this bad this fast? I Seriously don’t recall it being this bad.

    It was horrible though. Maybe the COVID19 kinda overshadowed him. Though the time he asked that it be looked into to us UV light inside the body to treat the virus and the time he recommended injecting or drinking bleach were crazy

      It was pretty bad pretty quickly, but it was mostly changes in culture. Things like the “unite the right” rally happened pretty early on in his first term. Ultimately though, he was pretty hamstrung by an unreliable, rotating cast of supporting characters in his first term that weren’t all on board with turning the country into Nazi Germany part two.

      He’s shed all of those people and now he’s surrounded by dyed in the wool maga. The GOP and the makeup of the supreme court are also drastically different this time.

      But it was terrible his first term, so terrible people don’t even remember all or even most of it.

      The only difference is he’s got people who do his insane demented ideas now. It took him awhile to get the turd circus going brcause of all the old school fascist republicans he appointed. Evil but competent men who knew when shooting oneself in the crotch was a bad idea.

      By 2018 he’d fired them tho.

        Also the fact that it’s his second (and last I’m pretty sure but damn I hate that I can’t be 100%) term so you know, “Last time, YOLO!”
