Trump Recession Timeline:
1. This will be a Golden Age on Day 1! Prices will come down and economy will boom!
2. These policies won’t cause a recession. We know what we’re doing.
3. Ok, it will cause short-term pain but will be good in long term.
4. This is Biden’s recession!

The right in Canada has dropped in the polls and now openly distances themselves from you. Same with Germany and UK
