    What i feel the only thing that made USA the best with the current position the reality that it never ran away. Overall the USA open stats allowed them to prosper! I hope this will soon gets over! though as outsider where we stand we want the USA to stay the way it was helper and rational based! Now people can come and say multiple things. But usa does helped a lot of good things to happen across world. If it falls CHINA rise. And if that country rise, it will destroy everything that it touches!

      Thirty years too late with this analysis

    Trump went his entire first term without much, if ant, consequences. Every previous president in my lifetime would have suffered immense consequences. My only regret is that I won't live to see how history explains this.

      He did manage to get snagged by COVID. It's the only reason he lost in 2020. Were it not for the pandemic, he most likely would have won.

      Weirdly, he lost running away from his accomplishments. Operation Warp Speed was a huge credit to him. Fauci managed the whole thing reasonably well, given the immense uncertainties. It could have been better, to be sure, but it could have been a heck of a lot worse.

      But he's back, so clearly that didn't stick. In his first term, he was largely protected from his worst ideas. Now he's not. And we're here wondering when his bad policies will be obvious to everybody.

      Aggravatingly, it could be never. Markets aren't the only thing that can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. There's every reason to think that a massive crisis is on the way, and it's hard to imagine how it could wait four years to materialize... but then again, maybe it can.
