In the quest to prove they have a mandate to bring about a 21st century "Great Depression," the trump Administration implements programs that led to the Great Depression of the 20th Century. -- Protective tariffs to support paranoid suspicions that everyone is taking advantage of the USA. -- Liquidating government programs designed to provide a safety net, many of which were deployed to dig out from the Great Depression of the last century. -- Promoting irrational exuberance to distract from corruption happening in literal broad daylight. -- Outright lying to the public.

@MarkPaul Also remember the statement; "I can hire half the working class to kill the other half", said by Jay Gould, that great capitalist

The potential consequences of such policies are deeply concerning.

But the world is capable of fighting back... and there are signs across the world of capable opposition in the formation stage.
