Except for all metrics that matter. People are on average much poorer.

Yes, the economy is incredible but wealth disparity is too. The average person isn’t winning. Trump’s proposed economic changes appear to make that much worse, as well.

So much of this election has been utterly perplexing, but probably the most confusing part is how many people have legitimate gripes about how the economy is serving them, yet are voting for someone who has plans to make their situation worse.

"He said he'll decrease inflation!"

"But his plans for tariffs will make inflation much much worse!"

".... but he said he'll decrease inflation"

Yes, voting for a bunch of corrupt billionaires and their friends will surely fix the wealth distribution issue. A sound plan, for sure!
