Driven largely by these factors, the economy will be significantly weaker if Mr.Trump’s economic proposals are adopted.Under the scenario in which all his stated policies become law in the manner proposed, the economy suffers a lengthy recession and is smaller at the end of his four-year term than when he took office (see Chart). By the end of his presidency, there are close to 3.5 million fewer jobs and the unemployment rate rises to as high as 7%, compared with below 5% today.

Here we go again. Trump may very well be a big economic disaster.

Given that only one or two of his economic proposals have been adopted (where are the 30% tariffs on Chinese imports across the board? Why is NAFTA still in force?) I'm not sure what you have to laugh about...

It's hard to take such extreme predictions about our president very seriously. One can't help but wonder if their true intent is just to deliver frightened listeners to advertisers.

This really was the start of all the fake news and lack of empirical facts in right wing circles. It started as religious and AM radio political programming. One could hear the most wild, out there conspiracy theories about Obama, planned parenthood, Hillary, you name it. Politicians on the right would court these people, and would not set them straight with regards to the facts. Then it became endemic on social media. Fox news encouraged such reporting and helped to maintain "the bubble." Now, all but the most far right, conspiracy laden Republicans are the only ones left, and Donald Trump had turned the tables on the right and used this technique against them in order to seize control. They brought it all on themselves. Far from learning it's lesson, Fox news has really given up and semblance of journalism anymore, and has doubled down as Donald Trump state television.
