President Donald Trump’s November election win drove a surge in business optimism and expectations for capital spending. Four months later, executives have shifted to wait-and-see mode.

Uncertainty around how and when Congress will enact tax legislation, on top of Trump’s ever-changing tariff announcements, is dragging down expectations for investment, surveys from across the country show. Many firms are putting their investment plans, a key driver of economic growth, on hold. That’s one reason why economists are dialing back growth forecasts for this year.

US Business Put Spending Plans on Ice With Tariffs, Tax-Cut Wait

Why are these cretins leading ANYTHING?

Alright Veghead, let’s try this again—no dodging, no “ask me why,” and no flipping the question back on me. You posted this thread titled "When Will These Morons Ever Learn..." with a pasted excerpt about business uncertainty under Trump due to tariffs and delayed tax policy.

 So here’s the question: what is the specific causal link you're making between Trump’s policies and businesses freezing capital spending? Can you explain, in your own words, how these policies directly led to decreased investment—and whether that’s a temporary reaction or a long-term economic consequence?

 This is about your post. No copy-paste, no deflection, and no question-dodging. Just your actual thoughts, for once.
