Have you flown on Trump Airline lately? No you haven’t, because Trump Airline failed.
Have you known anyone to graduate from Trump University recently? Nope, because Trump University failed.
Have you gambled at a Trump casino recently? No you haven’t, because Trump is one of the few people in history to fail at running a gambling casino. Trump has filed for bankruptcy on his Atlantic City properties alone three times.
Have you cut into a delicious Trump steak recently? No you haven’t – Trump steaks are out of business since 2007. Records showed he owed the Georgia company Buckhead Beef some $715,240.
Trump Water failed.
Trump Travel failed.
Trump Vodka failed.
Trump Magazine failed.
Trump the Game failed.
Trump Mortgage Company failed.
Trump doesn’t just lie to us. He also lies to himself.
When you’re as delusional as he is you never fail – everyone else does.
What are the chances that under a Trump presidency the United States will fail, causing a worldwide depression?
To be fair, so far the United States economy under Trump has done very well, no matter how CNN or the New York Times tries to spin it.
The stock market is flying high.
Unemployment is down dramatically.
Enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps, fell to 39.6 million in April. That’s down from a record 47.8 million in 2012, and that’s 8.2 million fewer Americans using food stamps, which is a 17.15 percent drop since the glory days of the so-called Obama economy when every rise in food stamp usage was treated by the administration as though it was good news.
The real good news is that more and more people are earning a good salary and don’t have to get a government handout.
The story with all of Trump’s failures is they start so well and then some way … somehow … he manages to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
So what will Trump do to cause our economy to go into a free fall?
One way is Trump’s insane idea that he wants to start an economic war with China, and any other country he feels he can squeeze with impossible tariffs. This is sure to bounce back and bite him on his ample ass.
Best example is China’s monopoly on rare earth elements.
From smartphones to cars and defense missiles, modern U.S. life depends on rare earth elements, but China dominates the industry and is already threatening to end U.S. access to the unusual metals.
On the day these metals are cut off from the U.S. by a trade war with China, our stock market will drop like a stone and all Trump's lying and blustering won’t change this failure.
When the stock market starts to slide and we go into a recession/depression, people will start to panic and jobs will be lost. Trump won’t be able to resort to his favorite “bankruptcy dodge.” You can do that with a water company or an airline or an Atlantic City hotel, but you can’t put a country into bankruptcy.
Then, as the stock market starts to drop, here are a couple of losers in the Trump administration who will come to his “rescue” and advise him into total failure:
There’s Stephen Miller, who is Heinrich Himmler to Trump’s Adolf Hitler.
Miller is a racist who has been writing racist, anti-immigrant rants since he was a teenager.
He was behind the Muslim travel ban. He was behind separating 4-year-olds from their parents who came into the country illegally or overstayed their visas.
Trump will fail when he follows Miller who, on a recent morning television show, said:
“Our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.” Heil Miller … Heil Trump … Heil Hitler.
Then there’s John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser, who is nudging his boss into a conflict in the Middle East. John Bolton, with that insane mustache that threatens to take over his face, is a bomb thrower. I’ve always felt that Bolton resembles a brush attachment on a Hoover vacuum cleaner. If Trump listens to him and we provoke a war with Iran or Venezuela, that will further grease the skids on the Trump presidency.
With the daily lies and the bullying tactics, I know Donald Trump will go down in history as one of our worst presidents, if not our worst president.
I’m fearful – and we all should be fearful – that he will go down in history as our last president.
