The economy was doing fine apart from a transitory inflation spike especially in eggs. Meanwhile the US is now involved in a pointless trade war with Canada before even getting to the budget; people are going to have an economic disaster that dwarfs the price of eggs, because they got invested in identity politics of the right-wing.

I predict the Trump term will be an economic disaster on the numbers, but this will have no effect on people's stuck belief that Republicans are better than Democrats at economic management.
