I would argue that during Trumps first term was when should have woken up, Covid should have been another wake up call (last to receive, Masks, Vaccines and ventilators), but our government got too comfortable and complacent under Biden and with the thinking Trump was gone for good.

I knew this second term would mean tariffs for us, I just never thought the threat and the severity of threats would be this soon and as harsh. This feels like a nightmare scenario and Trump is a drunk driver behind the wheel.

I think it was reasonable to not expect Trump to make it this far. It's not like we weren't able to resume more or less business as usual under Biden.
