"Many buyers, spooked by rising economic uncertainty"

I wonder who spooked them?

Such a mystery.

"Such a mystery."

It's all due to the Biden Crime Family. Obviously.

It's all right there on Hunters Laptop.

Mystery solved!

The unit next door to us has been on the market for a year. The owners were trying to sell it themselves, but they just got an agent and lowered the price. Not a good sign.
Florida beach-side, during the Biden years prices were skyrocketing.

Whipping inflation on Day 1, ending the Ukraine war on Day 1 to singlehandedly ruining our economy.

Reports are truckers are feeling the pain from the dearth of cargo containers returning to the U.S. empty for storage, soy farmers watching markets crater and fertilizer and other tariff-affected price increases meaning huge losses, and so many other economic effects of Trump's actions already, and those to come.

His poll numbers are already sinking fast. Wait'll the full effects of Trump's tariffs hit.

The cards are starting to fall. As they say, "we ain't seen nothin' yet." Things are going to get rough in the coming weeks.

Trump could undo all of his tariffs but the damage he's done to America's image around the world will still mean less U.S. products are exported.
