If Scott Bessent’s deperate attempt to pin the looming downturn on his boss’s predecessor is any guide, then the numbers the White House is seeing must be truly terrible.
It's obvious with Trump's/Musk's layoffs and spending cuts there will be an economic downturn--they are running the government like their fly-by-night businesses. But under Biden there was massive economic suffering that you and the Democrats ignored, telling us how we were just whining because all the macroeconomic indicators were favorable. Which is why Trump was elected. Ultimately both parties practice dual loyalty, working directly against the public interest. Biden was awful but colored within the lines of what corporate media and the donors find acceptable, Trump is awful and does not. https://barryjkaufmando.substack.com/p/the-empire-strikes-backat-itself
