the Great Depression, is what I've been saying since he first started talking about enacting tariffs. I don't know why repugs think they know anything about economics... they can't think critically about anything, no matter how large or small the subject! But then, I really think all this is just to bring about the downfall of the country and the dollar. Replace the dollar with crypto currency that he, in turn, can point to his offshore bank accounts.
