9. Here comes tRumpnomics aka as the next Republican recession and quite possible depression

For all those ignorant uninformed morons out there who voted for this clown and against Harris here comes tRumpnomics. If they were all worked up about inflation and grocery prices under Biden they're really going to love it after these tariffs go into place.

It is too bad that the MSM did not pound away at the fact that foreign countries do not pay the tariffs and that the American consumer does because many of these idiots believed tRump when he kept saying this would come out of the pockets of the exporting nations.

This will definitely derail consumer spending causing the economy to tank and if Musk and Ramaswamy (who are clueless when it comes to fiscal economics) simultaneously cut government spending by billions if not trillions of dollars the coming recession will turn into a full blown depression.

Add to this, tariffs are not done in a vacuum - China, Canada and Mexico will in all probability respond with tariffs on American goods and services and that very likely will tank the entire world economy.

This clown is being handed an economy that is running like a Ferrari. By the time he and his surrounding cast of idiots are done the US economy is going to look like a broken down Yugo.

The cost of ignorance is going to drag us all down.
