    Consumer sentiment plummets and yet, Trump’s approval is staying where it is. Not particularly high, but at a relatively high point for him: https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker

    I know it’s incredibly hard to connect the dots between the economy crashing and the orange guy waving a neon sign that says “it was me! I crashed the economy! Tariffs!” but at least some of the most astute GOP voters should have had that a-ha moment by now, shouldn’t they?

      That’s because current indicators are showing us that a truck is heading towards us and won’t stop.

      Most of the people don’t see the truck until crashes and hits them.
