When you buy an existing business, one of the things that gets valued into the price is called good will. It cannot be precisely measured in many businesses/brands but it is the value of the good name and history of the enterprise and negotiating business brokers call it out as stand alone dollar value in many deals. Trump has managed to take the value of US good will and drive it from quite high to ZERO in record time. Assuming we ever return to sanity, even good future administrations will take decades to rebuild it, if it is even possible.

continues to thrash about, doing nothing but continuing to destroy both consumer and investor confidence, and bring back the ugly evil of higher inflation and shortages of goods.

Again, tRUMP has proven that he can single-handedly destroy both consumer and investor confidence with his stupid bias on the gee whiz wonder of 'Tariffs', the "Solve All to the Nation's Ills." Not true. $6.4 trillion dollars dropped by investors running away from equity issues in the markets prove that a lot of people DO NOT BELIEVE DJT at all.

And the US Dollar is under siege, people overseas no longer see the Dollar as a safe harbor (and we don't either, the MORON single-handedly destroyed that thought.

Dollar for dollar, tariffs are a tax on every American consumer. If tariffs are $5000 on a car, that car is going to cost us $5000 more. If a gallon of gas costs $5 and w/ tariffs now cost $10 (doubling in price), guess what? Everything relying on the price of gas in this Country will be negatively impacted. Our paychecks will buy less. Our groceries will cost more. That vote for djt the MORON just got a lot more expensive.

And to be clear about this, Economists are already tracking this, but I don't know if they're tracking the uncertainty of the Economy now, w/ the tit for tat tariff war going on. In any event, I think a lot of people have stopped buying big-ticket items at the minimum, and perhaps even more (reduced the buying of everything), because everyone is up in the air and uncertain about this idiot.

He's done more damage to this Country than a war would have done. Who else has cost our Country over a minimum of $6.4 Trillion Dollars? Who? How does a moron get such power? He should have never, ever, had this power.

This indicates that the system is incredibly weak.

Changes have to come and fast.
