As the markets tank and consumer confidence crashes, Dotard has an answer, as he intentionally wrecks our once vibrant economy, veering toward a disastrous recession.

“There’ll be a little disturbance, but we’re OK with that,” Trump told Congress. 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was more pointed, saying “there’s going to be a detox period.” Part of that detox is sweeping federal jobs cuts, which some economists say could spill over into the broader economy and result in the loss of millions of jobs by the end of the year.

The response has been severe. Consumer confidence has cratered, a poll of more than 220 chief executive officers found that business confidence is the lowest since November 2012 on policy uncertainty, some $6.8 trillion has been wiped from the value of U.S. stocks, and Wall Street strategists are slashing profit estimates. 

Trump inherited an economy from the Biden administration that was widely acknowledged as the envy of the world. Surely it can withstand, as Trump put it, “a little disturbance”, as he wrecks the economic that was the envy of the world and puts the world’s economic balance in danger as well.

A little disturbance, my ass….
