EU must brace for impact of Trump wrecking ball on global trading system | Heather Stewart

Am I crazy for thinking that this will be fine? Most people here in Europe have some experience or at the very least an understanding of the unbelievable destruction our continent has gone through in the last 100 years. I am in Finland and my country was basically a developing country until the 1980s frankly. We have gone through depression periods in recent history as a continent at various points.

You need to really nuke things for us to not have some optimism to recover. I do not feel that for Americans. I used to live in the USA for close to a decade, and what I noticed is that a lot of Americans have gotten so full of themselves, figuratively unable to close their belts from greed that a disruption to the over consumption is going to cause significant chaos.

I am more worried for the average American about what will happen when the iPhone is no longer affordable and we get into a serious financial depression that Americans haven't experienced for a century.
