3 signs the US economy is nearing a recession have flashed in the last week

It sort of suggests there haven't been particularly good policy decisions made over the past 3 & 1/2 years; perhaps that is why polls are pointing towards a change happening in November.

I would suggest that the rot has been setting in for longer than just 3 1/2 years, and that the political destabilisation that would result in Trump regaining the power to implement his wrecking ball style of presidency is really not what the US needs at present.

The best thing that could happen in that regard would be for the orange one to fall off his perch in the near future. That would probably be a more gentle path out of the highly polarised political landscape that the US currently sees itself in.

Mmm...perhaps a very public accident, falling down the steps of his plane or something, preferably while being filmed from several angles so there can be no hint of it being anything other than an accident...?

I think the whole situation indicates quite strongly that we are indeed, idiots...
