When the Tangerine Tyrant entered the White House, there was lots of speculation about the negative impact his economic policies (specifically but not limited to the imposition of tariffs) would have on the US economy....

A year on its pretty clear that his major economic impact has not been domestically but rather has been on the global economy.

So, for the famously insular US voters, repeating the election of a (global) wrecker looks worryingly & relatively cost free.

@ChrisMayLA6 Trump’s policy of “America First” has not been pursued by boosting the economy in the US but rather by slowing the economy elsewhere. Everyone suffers, but the Americans less. #uspol
@ChrisMayLA6 And “Make America Great Again” has been pursued, not by making America greater, but by belittling others. #uspol
@janblockx @ChrisMayLA6 There are also many Americans that suffer. The averages go up but it is a severely K-shaped economy.
