After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy.
It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

Trump and Republicans are incredibly vulnerable on this front. Massive energy needs to be poured into making the wanton destruction coming directly from Elon as visible as possible. Hard core MAGA won't turn, but that's only half of Trump supporters. The rest can be made to jump off the train.
