That the US citizens voted an idiot as President (Not the first time but probably the biggest).  From the chaos in the white house.  To the clueless administration that seems to be run by the 3 stooges.  From the countless dumb as tweets.  The the division in the US which was already bad enough just amplified by the current idiot. To International relations which wasn't great but probably garbage now and will take who knows how long to repair.  To a tax plan that is currently going to bring us into a nice recession which is going to make the Bush years seem like nirvana.

There is not big division in the US that is being amplified by Trump. There was and always will be conservatives, and liberals that disagree and dont like each other regardless of who is the President. Trump did not change that. From my experience people dont really care if someone is a conservative or liberal because most Americans dont revolve their lives around politics. Imo division is something the media has been pushing and people have started to believe it's a big issue.

International relations have got a little rocky here and there but it wont last long because leaders come and go and other countries are still willing to work in the US regardless since were #1.

I cant tell the future but i doubt a recession is coming up anytime soon. The economy has been stable and wages are increasing faster than it has in the last ten years. Also the GDP has not "boomed" enough for that to happen yet.

Economic analysts are expecting a growth of 1.4-2.1% this year. While not a recession yet, that way below the 3.x% Trump is expecting and that the US had since 2014. The outlook is even more negative, with growth dropping below 1% in 2020.

What I fear is that the recession will only be felt after the next election, and then the Democrats get blamed for it if they win.

Another day, another timeless quote.

Donald Trump: "If [George Washington] was smart, he would've put his name on [Mount Vernon]. You've got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you."

Can we get an outside psychologist to check for senility?  Does he really think no one remembers who George Washington was because he didn't name his estate after himself?

And let's not forget Mount Rushmore. Washington's name isn't there, but his face is there for everyone to see.

I wouldn't call it senility, though, just an overly inflated ego. If he where to create Cities, they would most probably be all named Trump Town, Trump City, and so on.
