All we need now is a massive man made natural disaster to strike to make it another great depression. Luckily there isn't any terrible climate related issue that's on the verge of causing a catastrophe or anything.

That, and good thing there isn't a new pandemic brewing in birds and livestock.
Thank god 80% of the bees we use to pollinate all our food didn't die this last month...
At least we don't have a measles outbreak and an anti-vaxxer in charge
We should consider ourselves lucky there isn't a genocide happening in the middle east with US backing.
60% chance of recession, 40% chance of a depression. “The Greatest Depression”
A golden age is coming!
Even if things just to recover to where they started trumsk will claim it as a giant win.
Frustratingly true
The Kennedy's made their fortune shorting the US economy during the Great depression.
Everything Trump has done has been calculated. I'd be willing to bet my left testicle that his gambling most of his fortune on heavily leverages shorts. He's trying to create the greatest possible depression because that will make him the most amount of money.
He knows exactly when he will cut his bullshit so he will settle his short right before making the announcement. Then with all the money he essentially stole from the population he will then buy up large chunks of the economy (and so will his buddies).
Once capital is even more heavily controlled by the upper classes the only recourse left will be violent revolution. All speculation. But that's what I would be doing if I was trump trying to install a true autocracy.
So repubs are alientating themselves from their traditional business base too. That leaves what? Nut jobs in rvs covered in trump signs?
I'd love to see donvict, fElon, Lutnick, Thiel, Vance and especially Navarro forced to live in poverty for a while.
