Literally stunning. In Jan 2025 Trump inherited a booming economy, markets going up, inflation coming down, lots of jobs although AI was a problem for jobs. And everyone was expecting 4 rate CUTS in 2025 and Trump killed all of that. Still we came in to 2026 forecasting 4 to 6 rate CUTS in the year, and instead we're about to RAISE rates because he's so effed up everything.

I can't wait to hear him blame both his choice for the fed, and Biden if they raise the rates

Even the Trumpers on CNBC are calling for a rate hike today.
