We're only a couple years into the 2020s, but it's already looking like one of the most turbulent decades in recent history. We've seen two presidents impeached and a trade war with China nearly cripple our economy. The Euro has fallen to its lowest point in over a decade and North Korea launched nuclear missiles at the US West Coast - all in just four years!

The President of the United States was twice impeached during his first term.

The President of the United States was twice impeached during his first term, once in 2022 and again in 2023. The first time, he was accused of releasing classified information to a foreign power; the second time, he was accused of colluding with said foreign power to undermine American democracy. He was also accused by some critics as being "too friendly" towards Canada and Mexico during this time (though this may have been a result of his friendship with then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau).

The president's second impeachment came only four years later, when another investigation revealed that he had demanded sexual favors from an intern and fired her when she refused him. In response to these allegations--and others--his 2020 reelection campaign slogan became "We need someone who won't get us into hot water again."

A trade war with China saw tariffs on imports as high as 79% and exports as high as 78%.

The trade war with China was a result of the US's decision to leave the WTO. In 2022, President O'Malley made it clear that he would not be renewing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and instead focused on negotiating a deal with China. The EU followed suit in 2023, citing their inability to compete with China's lower labor costs and lack of environmental regulations.

The US decided to pull out altogether after seeing how well its exports did in those countries since they left; tariffs on imports were as high as 79% and exports were as high as 78%.

The US's historic rival North Korea launched two nuclear missiles on the US West Coast.

The US's historic rival North Korea launched two nuclear missiles on the US West Coast.

The missiles were intercepted by the US military and landed off the coast of California.

The missiles were fired at a time when tensions between the United States and North Korea were high.

The Euro fell to $0.84 at one point in 2018 - the lowest it's been in a decade.

The Euro fell to $0.84 at one point in 2018 - the lowest it's been in a decade. The Euro is the currency of the European Union and 19 of the 28 member states use it as their official currency.

Most alarmingly, what appears to be the early stages of World War 3 have started taking shape.

The United States and China have been engaged in a trade war. The US has also been involved in a diplomatic war with North Korea. All of these wars have escalated to the point that most people think they're pushing us closer to World War 3, which could end up being very bad for everyone involved and the whole world.

For example, when you go out shopping for groceries this week, try not to get too upset about how expensive everything is getting because if things continue like this it won't be long before we run out of food entirely due to inflation caused by high prices on imported goods like coffee beans or soybeans (which are used as animal feed).

2023 isn't looking pretty for investors or consumers.

The economy isn't looking good

The stock market isn't looking good

The housing market isn't looking good

The job market isn't looking good

And the global economy is not looking good

I hope this article has given you a better idea of how the world might look in 2023. It's important to remember that none of these events are set in stone, so there's still time for things to improve. But it's also important to be prepared for what could happen if they don't!
