Nuance is irrelevant when talking about overt, obvious, straightforward actions Trump has taken that has tanked the economy.

If you wanted to talk about a president making small, measured changes to finance legislation we can talk about nuance. If you want to talk about the potential economic impacts of moving away from fossil fuels or pressuring the Fed on some rate changes, we can talk about nuance. If you want to dive into the details of subtle tax policy changes over time we can talk about nuance.

He started a war unprovoked. He kidnapped a head of state of another sovereign nation unprovoked. He has started multiple trade wars. He has threatened and destroyed the economic relationships with most of America's closest historical allies. He had DOGE, which was an unprecedented, illegal, and unconstitutional gutting of government services, which didn't even cut government spending by as much as conservatives would want because a lot of the money was already spent, meaning he just made sure America got nothing in exchange for what they already paid for.

That isn't nuance. We are beyond the realms of nuance.
