It will come down to “it’s the economy, stupid”. If Americans don’t believe they are better off financially in the Fall of 2026, Republicans will pay a political price.

True and my fear is it takes time to build an expensive new factory, or expensive new offshore oil/gas platform.

For the type capital investments required, investors need to believe the foreseeable future is favorable to realize a return on investment.

All the deregulation and tarrifs won't matter if investors fear by the time a new factory, or platform is ready to go online that a new administration will come in and change all the rules again.

Re: 7 - yes, I believe you’re correct.

With futures down another 1200 points this morning, it’s going to be an interesting day.
