-war with iran seems to have fizzled out. trump won
-he's passing a tax cut at the end of the year, that will kick in next year
-inflation gets better every day. and i knew that people would start "feeling" that the same exact economy was better, once trump was in office

-he seems to be able to chicken out of his trade war, with little economic damage
there's some shaky economic data, and trump can always fukk things up. but there's too much hubris on the left that they can just tim waltz to a midterm victory in '26, because the orange man is bad. he MIGHT be looking at a strong economy next year; and then what?
