      There are three top credit rating agencies and this was the final one to downgrade the US. First one was under Obama in 2011 due to Republicans playing games with the debt ceiling. Then in 2023, but I’m not sure why. And now it’s due to continued brinkmanship, but I think primarily due to Trumps impact to current and future health of us.
