Funnily enough at a macro scale the economy was in super good shape as trump took office with all economic indicators pointing upward. Wages grew by over 4% year over year while inflation was less than 3% meanwhile the price increases that were seen over 2021-2023ish were either rolled back or otherwise ceased being increased. Trump could literally do nothing, let the existing trends play out over 4 years and retire with an economy worth bragging about.
Obviously he's not going to and is enacting explicitly inflationary policies, so we're likely to see more hyperinflation within the next few years
