Consumer Confidence Hits 2-Year High As Recession Fears Fade: Stock Market Optimism Soars To Record High

17. It won't last long

Once the impact of Trump's tariffs and other policies hit fully, a recession is all but guaranteed.

The reason the numbers are higher now has everything to do with the MAGA cult. The economy is already showing signs of getting worse just 3 weeks after the election. But the opinion of the economy by the MAGA cult skyrocketed the day after the election. That's right, in these idiots mind, the economy was immediately better just because Trump won even though absolutely nothing had changed

That is why I want to scream every time I hear people say, just because economic indicators were in fantastic shape, that didn't reflect voters actual situations. If voters felt things were worse, then it must be true. It was all bullshit. The vast majority of people in this country were far better off economically under Biden than under Trump. But you had the MAGA cult being told 24/7 for 4 years that things were worse. So reality be damned, they believed if their beloved cult leaders were telling them things were worse, they must be. It was brainwashing on steroids.

I actually have a little hope (not much, but a little), when things turn south quickly, and make no mistake they will, that reality will finally start to penetrate at least some members of the cult. Yeah, the leaders will try to blame democrats, but I don't think it will work when things start getting really bad as I expect they will.
