They are the first to feel a recession is coming.
Something in the air, perhaps?

Takes MSM weeks if not months to start mentioning the word and acknowledging it is happening, and politicians take even longer.

Even the most diehard MAGAts must be feeling it, but denialism is part of their makeup.
They are the 36% currently thriving on hope in the face of what is really happening.

Trump may well remember as the President who caused the recession the country didn't need to have.
