Chaos, chaos, chaos

How did we get here? Let’s talk about it. When Donald Trump was inaugurated a little over 100 days ago, he inherited the strongest economy on the Planet Earth. Last week, that strong economy — which was growing for three years at a solid pace — officially shrank.  So we’ve got a contracting economy…
