Terrible news for Donald Trump
I often think of America as a bird, one great, vibrant bird with plumage that glows as bright as the sun hitting tropical waters. And this bird never sleeps, indeed, she watches over us, the American people. And sometimes she warns us.
Right now, her warning chirp is being heard loud and crystal clear, and the song she sings starts with the words: “Recession, Recession.” There is not one competent economist I’ve listened to in the last week who is not seriously worried. They’re afraid that what we’ve all feared will soon come to pass—because, of course, of Donald John Trump and his crazy, mixed-up, insane style of governing.
This form of governing can be labeled: “make it up as I go along.” Trump has no plan. Instead, it seems his preferred style is to be waking up one day and saying this, then changing his mind an hour or two later. His wretched and incompetent handling of the economy has plunged us all into Plato’s cave, where we are prisoners of the daily whims of an utter idiot. Yes, fears of an upcoming recession are strong.
Or are we already in one? In a recent Economist/YouGov poll, forty percent of respondents said we are already in a recession. That’s not good for Mr. Trump; indeed, it is awful. On the workplace review site, Glassdoor, anxiety about the state of the economy is being spoken about regularly and is up 80% from last year. 80%!
It seems everyone is concerned — except for a certain someone who prefers blissfully talking about people buying too many dolls, too many pencils, and saying other insane things that make no sense. I’ll tell you this , Trump best be careful. The American people are a forgiving people. The American people will forgive a lot of things, but a recession? Never EVER, not in Trump’s wildest dreams.
