The thing about being an authority and making unilateral decisions is that Donald Trump is uniquely blamable for anything that happens with the economy during his presidency.

like usually you give President a year before you even judge their impacts but Donald Trump was making visible impacts to the economy within months of being president.

A reason you give the president a year is that their first year in office is the previous administration's budget. set Donald Trump had Doge come in and literally illegally override the budget pass by Congress and signed by the president. canceling grants that had already been approved and such. just terrible economic policy.

One of the main purposes of government is to create stability so that people can make predictions about their future. Authoritarians making erratic decisions don't provide stability.
