Shipping down 17%. Over 1 million layoffs since he took office (some of which he directly caused). Target has had declining sales for 5 quarters. Job posting off by at least a third and half of the remaining are possibly ghost jobs that businesses don't really intend to hire just a way for them to judge market availability and cost for hires they may want to do in the future, or not. (HR has to do something to justify their existence). Second and third tier lenders finding the businesses they loaned to used the same collateral on two or three other loans as they are de facto unprofitable zombie businesses that play the system to hope for a better day that likely will never come. Those same lenders package up that debt and sell it to insurance companies and regional banks that looks alot the bad mortgage packaging that caused the sub-prime debacle in 2008. On and on and most importantly...on Trump"s and the GOP's watch.
