Many US citizens worried about Trump’s possible re-election will be happy about his conviction. Others are deeply troubled, and their faith in the US justice system has been shaken.
From this side of the pond, it seems few Americans are happy with the political landscape or their choices in the upcoming election. And yes, I know some might say the same is true here in the UK.
However, the US has some very big questions to answer:
- How sustainable is almost $35trn of national debt with annual interest payments approaching $1trn?
- Can the stock market continue to outgrow the rest of the world and justify sky high valuations?
- Will the big tech bubble burst?
- Will the housing market crumble under the weight of 7% mortgage rates?
