That would seem to at least have a major impact that needs to be accounted for. A couple more I'd add:
First, the Trump administration's economic impact is much more than tariffs - which are highly significant - but unprecedented interference in the free market and private business; destruction of the regulatory and other institutions that a stable economy depends on (e.g., democracy, the courts, the rule of law, bank regulation); disrupting the stability of international relations, possibly leading to highly destructive things like wars.
Also, the recent trend of business to switch from (broadly speaking) innovation and productivity to rent-seeking, epitomized by private equity: cut workforces, other investment, and product to the bone and squeeze as much as possible out of the asset - leaving a dead, dry carcass.
- bawolff 2y agoThe biggest thing with trump is nobody knows what he is going to do next. Businesses more than anything need to be able to make long term plans. Stability is important and that is out the window.
