Consumer sentiment plummets and yet, Trump's approval is staying where it is. Not particularly high, but at a relatively high point for him: https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker

I know it's incredibly hard to connect the dots between the economy crashing and the orange guy waving a neon sign that says "it was me! I crashed the economy! Tariffs!" but at least some of the most astute GOP voters should have had that a-ha moment by now, shouldn't they?

Some are, some aren't. Until it personally impacts them daily, many probably won't connect the dots.

That's because current indicators are showing us that a truck is heading towards us and won't stop.

Most of the people don't see the truck until crashes and hits them.

From TFA: lowest was in 2009. That would have been the tail end of the 2008 GW Bush collapse. History repeats.

My family isn't buying anything aside from food & toiletries until Trump is gone, and we started growing some of the food last year, after shithead won the election.

Exactly the same here. Even started making my own bread. So much better than store bought anyway!

I feel kinda bad for small local businesses and restaurants, but I just don’t trust the economy to spend anything discretionary right now.
