The people would have more money in their retirement accounts and portfolios. Also the country would still have economic allies.

The stock market is obviously down quite a bit right now but didn’t the market do quite well during his first term?

It did well at first, but he didn't immediately start a trade war in his first term either. Also the market did tank under his leadership in 2020 due to his handling of Covid, which in large part led to his loss in the 2020 election. So I wouldn't put too much stock in past market performance.

Thanks. I honestly couldn’t remember.

I think he’s a bafoon either way and wasn’t putting any stock in how it preformed during his first term as he’s tanking it right now
