That's the wrong question, honestly. Need 'here and now' which is


essentially your post + direction / trajectory / potential. Like any performance review, really. I would think about what he's done / not done for me over the last 4 years, then what impact his actions will have on the lives of my children (and others' children) over timie.

Over most 4-year periods, we're going to be better off financially. Clearly there are shocks and starting points matter, but you know what I'm saying.

I worry tremendously about an erosion in our standing in the world. This has been the source of influence and prosperity for us over the last 75 years. By disengaging, by alienating our allies and rewarding our foes - we are creating opportunities for others to step in. We are also destabilizing regions in ways that will come back to hurt us. Military, foreign affairs and national security experts all agree that theDonald has taken steps backward there.

He has also needlessly forced us to take on $trillions in addition debt by starting a culture war instead of leading through a problem

Last, he's normalizing behavior in this country that will make it less stable and less civil over time. He's not the cause, but he accelerates.

Take a short term view and a long term one. It is the same reason we don't try and get over on business partners in the private sector - it can't just be about today.
