I would normally say presidents don't actually affect the economy that much in the short term but he really seems to have nuked this shit. It's scary but also fascinating. Are we going to have like 50% unemployment in 3 months?
My new post - This NYT columnist wanted to check how Americans were feeling about the economy so he went to Costco and nobody was panicking! [More inside] - Hexbear
the columnist showed up to Costco and was expecting low-intensity warfare between tribes of poors in the produce section
These cukes are mine, motherfucker!
the sample stations are strategic supply points
"Mike! Mike! Were you at?"
"I created a beachhead near the frozen foods."
"No-no-no! Get over here at the canapé samples!"
"Can-a-what?"
"Just get over here!'
I think we will surely have double digit unemployment this year if Trump doesn't change course and act at least a little bit sane. The US economy is under the control of a deluded, delusional abject moron's ego and vanity. Maybe next Friday stocks will "only" be down ~3% after a vertiginous yo-yo rollercoaster ride. Trump might take that to mean his ideas are already proving to be a success. And the economy keeps taking one bump and bruise after another. In two weeks time the stock market could be down ~15%. Trump's broken brain might lead him to decide the up-down crazy volatility is "built-into" his plan.
What scares me is Trump seems utterly disconnected from reality. He will succeed in forcing countries that are weak and/or poor to beg and plead with him. I'm certain he's going to go on tv and puff out his chest how he got Cambodia to bend the knee. Of course any sane person knows China will never do that. But does Trump know that? If he doesn't - can he learn that it's impossible?
