None of the above is true for me so far.  However I feel it's too early to judge.
It's ridiculous to promise much about the economy in one day since it typically takes at least a few months for it to make any significant changes.

    2008 housing / "Great Recession" ---occurred over about 6 months but some of its effects lasted another 10 years.
    COVID pandemic---economic impact was faster, within a month or so.
    2021-2023 inflation----took a year to get it from its peak to where it is now.

I'm willing to wait for policies to take effect, but not forever.
I typically assess my budget, revenues and expenditures every 6 months to see if they are on track with my annual goals.
So I think around June 30, 2025 I will have the first answer for myself as to what effect Trump's policies may have had on me.
Until then I'm not worrying about it unless there is something that clearly has an immediate and obvious impact...changes in tax rates, for example.

Doesn't matter now if Trump is on time with things he said he would do in one day during his campaign.  He won!  He learned a lot during his first term and got the Supreme Court to rule as President he can pretty much do what the fuck he wants and has immunity. Trump accomplished more in his first 30 days than Biden did in 4 years.  The only President to have accomplished more the first 30 days was George Washington.  Trump shut down and sealed the border.  Illegal immigration has dropped by 95%.  Trumps team is finding fraud and waste spending and is putting a stop to it. Trump is purging the federal workforce of unqualified lazy people.  Trump is looking for ways to cut taxes for everyone and ways to lower energy cost. Trump is transparent there are no hidden agendas.  Now Trump is working with Putin to end the Ukraine war.  So tell me what has Trump done to any of you that complain and whine while providing no suggestions to improve our lives...
