Trump’s regime has turned out even more extreme than feared after he was elected to a second term in November 2024.

@cdarwin@c.imThe U.S. economy is more distorted than ever.
The widening gap between corporate profits and average workers

Consumer confidence is in the basement.
The gap was widening before Trump was elected. It explains in part the rise of MAGA and why Trump won in 2016 and again in 2024.
But Trump hasn’t done a thing to alter these trends.
