Bad Policies: Tariffs
NEW 🧵
A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) Trump has had the same impact on economic uncertainty as a global pandemic.
2) That was just the US version.
What’s particularly impressive is that he’s managed this on a global scale.
Starting to get the feeling that “Trump” annotation is going to be the chart equivalent of a layer of volcanic ash in the fossil record.
3) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.
4) Well over half of Americans expect the economy to deteriorate over the next year, again the highest figure ever recorded.
