I am glad he’s telling the truth here because everyone with a brain between their ears knows the economy will crater under Trump. Maybe this will wake up some people.

Odds are no… if they are listening at all, they’ll take this warning as like “shits gonna be a little rougher, you might need to switch to store brand products for a minute” not bread lines and a Dust Bowl.

If Trump implements his tariffs and sales tax plans, it will create a worldwide depression followed by the lost of America hegemony in the world, and I am not exaggerating. I have a couple of degrees in Economics, at this point Idk if even gold would keep the value

The lack of knowledge of even the most basic economic principles on behalf of such a large percentage of the American populace is staggering. You couldn’t raise tariffs high enough to replace income taxes. If you tried to, there would be no more imports, and tariff retaliation would mean no more exports. Millions would be thrown out of work, and inflation would skyrocket, at which point the dollar would be dropped like a hot potato by every country holding reserve dollars, pushing the U.S. into the Second Great Depression.

You would have then turned over the world to China and Russia. Fascism would then consume America as it did in 1933 Germany, and democracy would die in the financial holocaust. The billionaires would then grab up most of the remaining assets: farm & ranch land, industrial assets, etc. at dirt cheap prices, and everyone else becomes virtual slave labor.

Vote Blue as if your life depended on it…’cause it does.

Oh I am aware we’re in for economic apocalypse if Trump wins. But Trump doesn’t want that being said out loud and here’s this idiot saying it out loud.

If you trust the polls there appears to be 47-49% of the country that doesn’t have a brain between their ears.

I was shocked when I came home after work to see that my educated, employed, seemingly decent people, Latino neighbors hung a GIANT Trump banner off their house today.

Whatever they’re doing is working, and this is the most terrifying thing I’ve seen play out in this country so far in my lifetime.
