Trump will plunge U.S. somewhere 'between recession and depression': MSNBC analyst
On Thursday morning, MSNBC economic analyst Steven Ratner painted a dark picture of what he expects will happen if Donald Trump win's re-election in less the two weeks.Standing before a big display that blared "Trump's Plan Will Crater Economy," the investment analyst claimed voters could find thems...
Besides blanket tariffs that make everything more expensive, letting Americans buy less stuff, there will be job losses from retaliation, and less money to buy other stuff.

Journalist reports that he sees a man holding a flame thrower threatening to burn everything down may only cause minor heat damage.
No see you don't understand. A 1500% tariff on everything means the money trickles down because something about the national debt that I'm sure figures in there somewhere.
I see you weaving... 1600% tariffs on 6 minute abs videos is sure to make us all rich.
Not to minimize the damage that Trump would do to the country, but if you expanded the usefulness of what a media outlet "analyst" has to say tenfold, it would still rattle around in a gnat's asshole.
Mmmm Republicans giving us repression?
