Not yet, although I didn't vote for him
Far too soon to say. But unlike Ty and others who never would be caught dead criticizing a fellow Democrat, if Trump's actions destroy or even somewhat negatively affect the economy for a stretch of time, I will call it out.
Glad you didn't vote for Trump...not sure what could possibly entice you think better of him now
given all that we're witnessing, which has GOP Reps and Senators dreading Town Hall meetings with constituents.
As for your comment about criticizing Democrats, you can do a search under my Username with the keywords..."Clinton" and "Brooksley Born", where I criticize 'Bubba' for not heeding Ms. Born's warning about loosening "Glass-Steagall" Legislation, which led to gross misuse of Credit Default Swaps by Republicans, and eventually our "Great Recession"...as well as keyword "Menendez", where I support the Democratic Senator's Conviction for Bribery. Obstruction of Justice, etc. I've also criticized unnamed members of the Dem Party for opposing Nuclear Power.
Do your homework so that you don't make false accusations again...that's the decent thing to do.
Pull yourself together, man. You are going to give yourself a thrombo.

You often represent that you are a business owner.
Do you abandon a business plan the first moment you hit an obstacle?
Trump’s plan may not work, but it’s too soon to hit the panic button.

I wouldn’t say that. You just seem a little reactionary rather than strategic.

Trump’s not running a pizza joint. It’s the United States.
Empowered by the electorate and bound by his oath of office, he has recklessly decided to play demolition derby with the global economy and the financial and economic welfare of Americans.
Please don’t insult Americans’ intelligence by suggesting Trump’s actions are the product of a thoughtful and measured business plan.
His thesis is simple: remove the tariffs on U.S. goods or we’ll impose our own.
Whether it works to repatriate production and level the playing field is a different problem.
Thanks Lance. Now it makes perfect sense.

That’s what he says. I think the intent is to trigger a mini-recession so the Fed cuts rates
The US refinances its debt, and the US can start to onshore work. It will also help to re-establish the $ as the primary reserve currency.
It’s a gamble and may not work, but I think it will and within 2 years market will be up. More to it than that, but he’s attempting to use the levers He has to undue the damage done by Covid $ and re-establish a more even trade balance with our partners while re-establishing US monetary dominance.
Which MAGA conspiracy site is pushing this balderdash?

Nobody that’s just my guess. Trump may fail in meteoric fashion but he’s trying. To address debt &
Deficit.
Huh? His spending and tax cuts are expected to add 20 trillion to the debt in 10 years.

I’ll be honest…
I’m in “wait and see” mode when it comes to the tariffs. I understand Trump’s intentions, but I have some doubt that he’ll be successful. It seems like he’s trying to change the world of trade in days.
Fingers crossed that it works.
Agree.
I too have doubts about success, on this and on deficit reduction. But, at least he is trying, which is more than I can say for either party in the past. I'm willing to wait and see what happens.
It’s a gamble. i don’t see it working fully but he’ll have some success.
I’m guessing he’ll bait most of the countries to the table and get reductions and call it a W in time for the market to go back up before mid-terms.
In the mean time, invest in stocks and the market will bounce back.
Smell the coffee.
Economist or even the Atlantic, maybe. The Times is a rag.
