A president may or may not be able to "control" the economy by definition but there are policies that can have a positively or negatively economic impact by influence. A change in energy policy or the production of oil can have a ripple effect to other national security issues. If a portion of the national security is negatively affected then that might cause an emotional response in the markets during a heightened time of global turmoil. <- See what I did there? It's really easy to see the economy differences between this administration and the last. If it were any more obvious, it'd be written in crayon. We all watched Joey sign the executive orders on day one. It was on national television for all to see. We prepared our 401k's exactly like the "V-Shaped Recovery of 2020." LFG! 🔥
