* There wouldn't tariffs like now
I am paying them begrudgingly. Supposedly they are a cash cow for revenue.
You are right, there wouldn’t be. History will be the final judge on that
one. Trump gets a kick out of pushing the other nations around. Floats his
boat.
* RFK wouldn't be running NIH or CDC
That would be a good thing in my opinion. This morning they announced Tylenol
causes all the autism. Can’t wait for this to be over…
* Kirk would still be alive
I don’t think Kamala would have had any effect on that. Crazy is as crazy
does.
* Ukraine war might be different
Since Hunter and Joe were on the Ukrainian cash cab kickback, Ukraine would
probably be better equipped at the moment.
* Israeli-Gaza might be different
I doubt any change in that situation. Kamala would not have done anything to
change it. I am surprised that Trump can’t seemingly do anything either. Bibi
saw this as an opportunity to enact the Isreal version of “the final solution”
and he took it. Not without decent justification/provocation but don’t think
any nation or leader could have diverted his plans.
* Inflation would be closer to 2%
Not sure you can say that. If you look at the CPI graph over the last 30
years, it is largely monotonic with the greatest slope during Biden and a
falling off with Trump. Don’t think the data would support that.
* People would still be picking our produce
Yep. Not a supporter of the way enforcement has gone at all. Focus on the
criminals, close the border. Provide a path to citizenship. I guess he thinks
2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
* Might have a federal budget with a little more hope
Time will tell. I was surprised at the increases in the big beautiful bill.
Surprised the GOP would push something like that.
* Putin wouldn't be quite so smug
Even more so. He would not have gotten any attention from Kamala and she would
have been too chickenshit to speak hard truths to him. And he would have
dusted her off as a woman.
* We might still be adding solar and wind power to the grid
Yeah, Trump ought to visit Uruguay. Not a huge fan of wind but it works in
some areas.
I could go on and on.
