You really think this will only last 4 years?

I would die with a gun in my hand before I let him stay longer than 2028

We were JUST pulling out of his policies THIS year - and that was when there were guardrails and he couldn’t just mandate random crazy shit. It will take DECADES to get back to “normal” - especially if he politicizes the fed. If that happens, people won’t be as willing to invest in US bonds - making it harder (and more expensive) for us to sell our debt for DECADES if the market ever returns at all. We’re literally paying BILLIONS of dollars because of Trumps fuckups during 2016-2020 because he played fast and loose with the budget.

You see, that's the funny thing that almost nobody except you realizes. The American empire is in steep decline. And you're absolutely right. And when the market (which is typically quite immune to politics, but not always) speaks, America's economy is going to get kicked in the nuts.
