Trump’s economy.
1/5: “Trump came into office in the midst of a robust recovery from the financial crisis, with an economy operating at close to full strength. He only had to avoid disrupting those healthy --and improving-- economic trends.” Via @ritholtz bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2/5: “What occurred instead is a litany of unforced errors and misguided decisions, many of them made by Trump political appointees.”
3/5: “Making appointments merely to troll one's predecessor is something less than smart. Expertise matters, as does the ability to vet your appointees. If the president today is unhappy with higher rates, well, he has only himself to blame.”
4/5: “Actions have consequences, and the undeniable consequences of this president's actions are rates that are higher today than they would otherwise have been and worldwide trade disruption.”
5/5: “Trump reveled in taking credit for the boom he inherited. If the U.S. goes into a contraction, he shouldn't be surprised if the ‘Trump recession’ label sticks.”
