You gotta go all the way back to George W. Bush to see numbers this bad.
Trump is making things worse by lying, giving false information , spinning conspiracy theories, and simply not looking or acting like a leader. This is Trump's leadership moment and he is failing miserably.
People can handle the truth. They want transparency, forthrightness, and measured confidence. When people see a fat orange pig lying, casting blame, and not looking like a confident steady hand, it is going to introduce a lot of uncertainty to individuals, institutions, and macroeconomies.
