A very good economy. Trump is gambling with tariffs because he was handed a strong economy. The Obama economy can handle the damage from tariffs for a while. Long term damage is a different story. Trump doesn't care about the people who are getting hurt right now. The good economy Obama gave Trump is the only thing that protects him. It gives him cover. It is what makes him brave. An economic turn down would destroy Trump.
Trump is very brave when he gambles with other peoples money and he sucks at it. He has been a loser his whole fucking life. That's trumps great con job. He is a loser who convinced almost everyone he is a great winner.
Everything Obama gave us Trump is going to gamble it all away. It will take some time but it will happen.

Same thing happen from what W Bush and the gop did under him. Transfer trillions over to the wealthy robbing from the middle class and the poor . Trump wants people to believe you can take trillions out of economy and not destroy the economy from doing it. Add the tariffs , allowing oil prices and energy costs to skyrocket, and again like w Bush did too. Driving the deficit straight up from enriching the wealthy is a recipe for disaster , and this time it easily could cause a world economic failure and a depression here if they don't make the right moves like President Obama made correcting what W did, and reversing it. Its almost like trump wants the economy to crash, and makes me wonder if its to please putin. This Nov election could be more impacting for us then we think if we don't take control of both the House AND the Senate, or face another economic meltdown from the trump slump from him ad the gop. Also add to that trump will start or be involved in starting another major war, driving the economy down a lot more. We'll be paying dearly if both Houses aren't retaken ASAP and this is stopped soon. Vote people.
