The Economist said the U.S. economy was the “envy of the world” with low unemployment, inflation under control, and a growth rate unmatched by any advanced economy.

Donald Trump has, as promised, brought an economic revolution to the United States —just not in a good way.

Trump 's trade war, rising prices, falling confidence, and sinking stock markets are not what Wall Street or Main Street voted for.

The people who buy, ship, offload, and otherwise manage the massive flow of goods that keep the U.S. economy humming are struggling.

Yet this—despite the Wall Street optimism last fall about big tax cuts and bigger regulatory rollbacks, Trump campaigned on.

He promised trade wars and a sharp increase in taxes on businesses and consumers.
