And so the major recession that's long been predicted finally begins (right on time, IMHO - they almost always start in the latter half of January when they've been pushed off as much as possible like this & the investors get the year-end numbers they wanted).
As conditions deteriorate and people become more desperate, Trump (more accurately, his Heritage Foundation handlers) will use the disarray to impose martial law, and the US will decend further towards civil war.
I hope I'm wrong.
It might actually technically not happen. The biggest increase in US exports has been gold. If say Germany moves the gold reserves it has in the US to Germany, that is the US exporting gold and it would end up with 0.5% increase in US GDP. Welcome to Trump making some intressting decisions.
You mean the german gold that the US refused to allow the Germans to see when they wanted to confirm its presence? Something will happen if Germany does request to move their gold, just depends on how bad of a shit show it will turn out.
There's zero chance that Trump lets that go without a fight or a bribe.
