Trump's economy -- horrible

Some of our supporters of the Orange Hitler are talking about the economy as a reason.

Musk even admits The Felon is going to crash the economy.

If he got the tariffs he's talking about, it would spike prices right off the bat. If he truly plastered the Chinese with tariffs, they would do what they did last time, only with more resentment and damaged pride. They could not only find South American sources for ag products as they did before, but they could call our bluff on the US debt they're holding.
If he came anywhere close to the deportations of undocumented or TPS (Temp. Protected Status) workers he talks about, he would not only sully our national image once again (the child separations of 6, 7 years ago are an unbearably shameful chapter in our history -- many, many children are still orphaned because of Donald), but he would bring many sectors of the economy to a halt. Just see if contractors, roofers, industrial farmers, food service and food production businesses, etc. etc, etc could operate if an important labor source was obliterated. Again, prices would spike. It would be hard for him to pull back on deportations, because it's such an important part of the racial message that underlies his act.

I've always liked RollingStone opinions, especially Matt Taibbi's, but I went to the site only by clicking from elsewhere. Just now, clicking Loren's link I was asked to "Subscribe Now" if I wanted to "Read More." But when I got to the same page via a slightly different route I was presented with the full page. Whatever.

I see Taibbi now has his own site, https://www.racket.news/ . Its home page is useless, asking just for subscriptions, but clicking "No Thanks" takes one to a more useful home page. Whatever.

If "The Felon" will crash the economy, then WHY does Musk support him? Once again, a headline misleads grossly. The Internet is so full of lies and garbage now I hardly want to click.

Economists have repeatedly warned that a second Trump administration would be a boon to the ultra wealthy and a backslide for everyone else. As the 2024 campaign season enters its final days, the former president’s most prominent billionaire backer is in agreement, and he wants regular Americans to just suck it up.

On Tuesday, Elon Musk — the billionaire owner of X (formerly Twitter) and Tesla — agreed in a social media post that Donald Trump’s return to office would likely crash the economy.

“If Trump succeeds in forcing through mass deportations, combined with Elon hacking away at the government, firing people and reducing the deficit – there will be an initial severe overreaction in the economy,” user @FischerKing64 wrote on X. “Markets will tumble. But when the storm passes and everyone realizes we are on sounder footing, there will be a rapid recovery to a healthier, sustainable economy,” he added. [Swammi's emphasis]

“Sounds about right,” Musk replied.

Whether one agrees with Musk or not -- include me among "Not" -- , we must admit the Blue headline is an incomplete and misleading summary.

Yup. Classic case of lies, damned lies, and headlines.
