Dear Editor, Newly elected President Donald Trump has reached the benchmark of his first 100 days, and it would be enlightening to see how different things might be if Kamala Harris had instead been elected President.
What Trump has delivered (so far) = (T) versus What Kamala offered as an alternative = (K) … On the economy: (T) After promising to eliminate inflation, instead Trump’s tariff confusion has not only raised prices on consumer goods so far, they will more than double the price of imported goods (most of what WalMart, etc. has on the shelves) in the future, and his chaotic and contradictory claims about tariffs have caused drastic Stock Market falls, losing over $7 TRILLION in value in just 3 months. By sticking with tariffs, there is no indication that these Stock Market losses or consumer prices will lessen, and this affects any American workers who have 401Ks, mutual funds, or IRAs (their retirement funds decimated). Even if Trump were to simply drop his tariff schemes, he has created INSTABILITY in markets which may never be reversed, since affected countries are forming new alliances with more sane trading partners, like China.
(K) Kamala would have stuck with most of the features of “Bidenomics,” which pulled us out of the Pandemic turndowns in the best shape of any country in the world. Inflation was coming down, and all other leading economic indicators of a good economy … employment, wages, GDP, etc. … were all very much UP.
