Economy is fucked and has been for a long time. We've been barely treading water since the 2008 crash. There's virtually no chance that we don't get out of this without a complete collapse of the US dollar.
If you want to try to pin it on Trump, you're retarded. He hasn't been able to make it better, but probably nobody else could have either. And at least he's no Barack "those jobs aren't coming back, but we need infinity immigrants to do the ones that are still here" Obama.
That's the impression I get, although the pre-2008 labor market was before my time so I don't have any first hand experience. I can tell you that people who started their careers before that point have no fucking clue what things have been like since. Employers started viewing the hiring process as a way to hand out corrupt favors to their cronies and that mentality never went away even after the economy "recovered". The only people left who think that employers give a fuck about skills and aptitude either started their career decades ago or benefited from the cronyism and have the self awareness of a woman.
Or got exceedingly lucky
Tariffs probably impede overall economic growth while increasing the number of good jobs. It's a trade-off.
