Trump has been *objectively* horrible for the economy. Here’s the math on all the savings and costs of Trump: Costs: -3.4T in stock value erased. -4T in forward looking tax cuts for the wealthy. -1.2T in allied defense buying being redirected to EU. -0.30T in US military production decline from not buying US products for Ukraine. -0.54T (per year) in economy labor loses -0.93T (per year) in buying and trade if these tariffs continue. -1B in expected labor settlement lawsuits -200M on his own self serving as campaign -10M on Trump golf trips. Savings: +0.03T in paused cash funding to Ukraine. +0.001T in paused weapons already allotted for Ukraine. +0.008T in prove DOGE “efficiency” cuts +0.01T in claimed DOGE grant cuts. Outcome: -10.32T dollars of economic damage under Trump. That’s just shy of 2x the annual budget, and 1/3rd of the federal deficit. And it doesn’t even account for loss of trade, tourism, or general goodwill. If Trump’s economy is allowed to continue unchecked, America is on track for the worst economic disaster in more than a century.
