Losing my religion

 I've been the ray of sunshine and the glass half full in conversations with my liberal friends these past weeks, but, after this weekend, I'm seriously worried. Why is no one stopping this train wreck?

I listen to almost constant political commentary and it has not been reassuring. Despite DJT's minions out in force trying to explain the inexplicable, the people who actually know how these things work are not convinced.

Manufacturing would take years to "reshore" in America and most of the work would be automated, plus the cost for consumer goods would skyrocket. The global supply chain has taken decades to establish and Trump will do permanent damage in just a few months, not to mention all the good will he is incinerating with his approach. 

The stock market has lost trillions in value, for no discernable rational reason. That's the retirement accounts of millions of Americans. I hope the 529 I have for my daughter has enough left in it after this debacle to cover her final year in school. If not, I suppose it will go on my credit card.

People are saying, why are we surprised, this is what he ran on. But he said he would make things better. He didn't say he would put the steadily recovering economy into the shredder.

I just hope it doesn't get as bad as it could...
