We're just a few weeks into the Trump administration and it's already been a hoot. He's done some great things. He's done some terrible things. He's done some hilarious things.
Back in 2016, I described Trump thus:
"He's like a machine gun on a swivel with no one at the controls, spraying bullets in all directions. Sometimes he hits something you want hit, sometimes he hits something you don't want hit. The key is to applaud the good things, criticize the bad things, and above all know when to duck."
A meme with a related sentiment has
been going around that still makes me chuckle when I see it:
As I always say, it is important to keep expectations low, but if all Trump did was pull off eliminating the Department of Education, that would be a huge win and a historic one.
But before we start any victory laps, we need to be aware of the precariousness of Trump's position. Some new crisis could
come along and derail his agenda just as the Russiagate and Covid crises did his previous administration.
The one know one seems to be talking about is the mother of all bubbles we've been in since the tsunami of money the Federal Reserve printed 2020-21. Anything could pop it, including Trump's own economic missteps such as tariffs. But even if those aren't as extensive or harmful as they might be, there are other economic land mines
that could blow up Trump's whole agenda - and allow the establishment to blame his good policies.
I talk about three of those on today's episode of Tom Mullen Talks Freedom:
