All things considered, it has only been about 3 months since Trump took office, I feel like there is absolutely no way that this was just a single craze and from here things will even out.
I feel like until 2028 (or maybe 2026?) S&P 500 is going to look like a roller coaster.
What do you think?
Honestly I find all of the covid years kind of hard to remember, and I know a lot of people who feel the same. I bet that Trump 1 mostly gets wrapped up and suppressed with all the rest of the general trauma.
Trump was president for less than a single year during the COVID era.
It was a long ass year though
That “less than a single year” was at the beginning of covid, and his malicious and cavalier response to a global plague hitting american shores led to a million dead Americans.
He was way more impactful about what happened with covid then anyone else, from allowing people to fly in unscreened to the states, from refusing to send out masks and tests, to pushing UV/disinfectant/invermeton, for refusing to help blue states early on because “it was good politically,” on and on and on.
Hey I’m not saying it wasn’t the worst part of the COVID years, just that it wasn’t most of the COVID era…which is even being vague as to what the COVID era is or if it even ever ended.
I’m one of the crazy people constantly masking still.
He definitely had an outsized impact on the overall COVID response in mostly negative ways. I think the only thing he did that was good is fast-tracking the vaccines and even then he managed to screw that over because of all of the other things he was doing wrong.
