Donald Trump gives us an almost guaranteed recession

Chaos in Trump's America

Alexander Willis, in RawStory, acknowledges two major issues that could send the U.S. into "permanent recession." Each should shape an outlook in Americans that produces a fear, so solid and so pointed, that Donald Trump, regardless of his current condition, continues to take the U.S. into an apocalypse. I'll get to these points later but first, the status of his health...

"Recent medical and public scrutiny surrounding Donald Trump’s cognitive health centers on reports of his rambling speeches, visible physical changes (such as hand bruising and slowed walking), and increased impulsivity.:

In down to earth terms, he acts like he is off his rocker. Yet, his latest doctor's report says he is in "excellent health" and "fit to serve" as president of this country. At the same time, Trump was deemed "borderline obese" and The Daily Beast quotes Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst and professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine...

"wrote on X that the report had inexplicably noted “improved” ankle edema compared to last year’s exam, even though no edema had been listed in the prior findings."

Apparently you can't believe Donald Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, and you sure as hell can't believe Donald Trump. However, amongst all the Oval Office lunatic's idiocy, you still have a Republican Congress scared to death of the man, a group who is letting this  country sink to the lowest level in its history. And really, the Democrats are not nearly doing the best they can to be rid of this maniac. Here's even more from Willis...

Donald Trump's dementia and cognitivity

"A growing number of CEOs suspect a market crash is imminent but have been “scared” to say so publicly out of fear of retaliation from President Donald Trump, and on Tuesday, one security expert warned that such a crash may not only be imminent, but 'permanent.'”

Miles Taylor, former Homeland Security senior official, tells us, the way Trump has orchestrated this recession...

"if it happens before we’re ready – many folks may never be able to crawl back out. That’s because two explosions could hit the U.S. economy at the same time.”

Getting ready for a recession is another story, but it is time to explore the two issues, mentioned earlier, created by the White House maniac that could get us there. They are the Iran War and the dominance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the marketplace. Starting with the Iran War, prices have escalated enormously both in the U.S. and abroad. Both gas and food have shocked consumers and starting to empty their pocketbooks. Donald Trump just laughs and tells Americans to suck it up.

Number two issue, artificial intelligence (AI), described by Taylor...

"as a 'ticking time bomb,' one that he had 'been hearing tick for the last three years': generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)."

I can tell you it has been ticking longer than that, more like ten to fifteen years, if only in the background. I was working with AI some 10+ years ago in its infancy and it was scary for me then what I could do. In simplification, you combine a database of known factors like your customers' buying habits with another database of demographics and lifestyle characteristics by a level of demography to determine where to find new customers. The

results increased business most acceptably in those days, can imagine the outcome today. 

Taylor says Trump started a war with Iran that "should’ve been avoidable," which has been responsible for the increase in prices leading to inflation. And through all this Donald Trump's attention alternates between his billion dollar ballroom and a 250th celebration that is collapsing because most of the stars don't want to perform. Getting back to the "ticking time bomb," artificial intelligence (AI), large and small U.S. companies are jumping on the AI bandwagon. 

Here's a fact that will knock your socks off...

A recent survey found that 99% of CEOs expect “AI-driven layoffs.”

And this is where the second disaster, after the Iran War, takes over and, as Taylor describes it...

"setting off a recession 'different from all others that came before it.'”

Here's the scenario...

“The instant the economy turns, the cautious AI pilots will become emergency AI rollouts. Corporate boards will start demanding cost cuts, and CFOs will start drafting reduction-in-force memos,” Taylor wrote.

There's more...

“Layoffs that would have been framed as long-term 'restructuring' or ‘right-sizing’ will become, by necessity, full-scale workforce replacement. The recession Trump is steering us into will arrive at the precise moment in history when, for the first time ever, wide swaths of the human workforce can be replaced instantly by software.”

If you are wondering about the connection between T-rump, AI and its replacement of

workers, especially since Dufus Rump probably entered politics at about the same time AI was beginning to get momentum...don't. Once he found out he could profit from the technology, be it only through support of those in the industry to begin with, he went full-bore in paving the way for its use...

"Donald Trump is directly responsible for shaping the regulatory environment accelerating AI integration into the workforce. While he frames AI as a "greatest job producer", his administration's policies have actively cleared the path for rapid, widespread AI adoption without imposing strict labor or workplace-safety regulations."

When we eventually find out about a massive loss of jobs and those losing those jobs start complaining about being out of work, losing their homes, theirs cars, unable to afford to eat, Trump's reaction will no doubt be...

'Suck it up, loser, and get a job.' 

Trump in danger of engineering a global manufacturing recession

Donald Trump's inept administration will doom his second term 

The clown and his minions

If the country should go into recession, the misfits Donald Trump has put in place to run the economy wouldn't have the slightest idea what to do, including the Oval Office lunatic.  Here's the scenario...

"Washington Post economics columnist Catherine Rampell on Friday warned that President Donald Trump’s team of economic advisers is woefully unprepared to handle a recession should one strike within the next year."

There is no plan she laments...

“We have this clown car of economic advisers… you have a guy who plays an economist on TV, you have a former Hollywood producer. This is not the dream team who will be handling a crisis if we face one."

Trump in danger of engineering a global manufacturing recession...

The stock market is tanking and the White House ego maniac is still playing games with China, resulting in their latest $75 billion tariff on U.S. goods just today. You have to wonder when this will all end until the realization hits; it won't until we get rid of Donald Trump. But perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel with the fact that some GOP donors are running scared that T-rump's tactics will result in Republicans losing big in 2020. Former Sen. Jeff Flake says...

"he’s received calls from several nervous Republican donors who fear a slowing or shrinking economy will doom the GOP in 2020 — and they’re looking to find a primary challenger for President Donald Trump."

These donors took the step even further...

"Some donors even asked Flake if he would personally consider running a primary challenge against the president, but he said he does not want to run right now and admitted that the odds of such a challenge succeeding are slim to none."

Impeachment or voted out in 2020?...

There's additional reason for trump to worry and wonder about his crazy antics that have screwed up the country and turned a large portion of the population against him. He won in 2016 with the Electoral College, the popular vote went heavily for Hillary Clinton (3 million more votes) but this time around polls show Trump's...

"net approval ratios being underwater (i.e., negative) in 10 states he carried in 2016: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin."

This translates into only 119 electoral votes for T-rump when 270 are needed to win the presidency. There is another factor that has been responsible for Trump's downfall; the fact that he has been solidly and accurately labeled a racist. It is a label that is sticking, and this is driving him crazy since he is one of branding's biggest advocates. Taegan Goddard's Political Wire says...

“Being called a racist has led Trump in recent days to lash out — in tweets and in public comments — behavior his advisers and allies explain as the natural reaction of anyone who does not consider himself a racist but is accused of being one.”

And finally, this CNN's Anderson Cooper video is a must see in a documentation of Donald Trump's blatant racism. I have said this repeatedly, having come from a South of the 19402/1950s, where the Ku Klux Klan ran rampant over the black population and committed unimaginable atrocities, I still cannot comprehend what this white fascination of dominance over those of color is all about. I left the South to get away from this but quickly discovered...racism is everywhere.
