The Enormous Risks a Second Trump Term Poses to Our Economy

1. >This person was disturbed by many of Donald Trump’s actions and concerned about what the November presidential election could mean. But when it came to one issue — the economy — he was untroubled. “We didn’t do so badly last time,” he said. “There are some things I don’t agree with, but I don’t think it will matter that much.”

   >We fear this is an increasingly common view. We’ve spoken to many leaders in business and finance who, when it comes to economic policy, are open to the premise that Mr. Trump is a normal presidential candidate.

   It’s increasingly common because we all lived through 2019 and we know things were much better than under Trump, than they are now under Biden.

   >At a time when our country was already on an increasingly risky debt trajectory, Mr. Trump’s tax initiatives during his presidency added an estimated $3.9 trillion to the national debt, according to Brian Riedl of the Manhattan Institute.

   Ooh, nice gaslight. It’s actually $3.9T **over 10 years**. It was originally scored as $1.8T/10yrs but COVID and Biden depressed expected revenue.
