Trump is About to WRECK the Economy

Donald Trump will wreck the American Economy. I can’t state that in a simpler way, but saying it deserves an explanation.

So, everyone who voted for him including my friends and family, take warning of what will happen to the economy because YOU voted for Trump in the election.

Again, the upcoming actions of the incoming president will be devastating to the economy.

So, let’s talk a scenario that most likely will happen with Trump as our president.

He plans to deport 11 million people without regard as to what that will do to the economy. Undocumented people work in major sectors of the work force. Undocumented people work in the food industry, the food supply chain, construction like in building apartments and homes. That’s just the beginning.

The economic analysis has already proven that it will cause a rise in the consumer cost index and the cost of goods between 3% and 10%. That simply means that whatever you are buying now, scrape up to maybe 10% across the board, because the people who were doing dirty jobs in places that you may not want to do have been deported. This would directly affect housing and the food chain.

As an example, at least 500,000 people work in the construction business. At least 40% of those are undocumented. So, what do businesses do in the construction industry when 40% of their workers get deported? Construction slows down drastically and, in many cases, will just stop.

In the food industry, it’s the same, except this time it’s millions of UNDOCUMENTED  workers that fill the jobs. These people work in the fields; they slaughter the chickens, pigs and cows, in jobs that most people would never want to take. These people in some cases work in 24-hour shifts. So how many people are we talking about in the food industry?  All your really need to know just to put it mildly, at least 40-50% of these people are UNDOCUMENTED.

If Trump carries out deportation of UNDOCUMENTED people, what do you think will happen to prices and in general, the economy. The economy will be devastated.

He plans to do two things at once. While Trump is accomplishing this how about started a trade war involving at least 40% of our economy with partners that supply us things the most. Wow, what a smart thing to do. But to put it honestly, only Trump would ever come up with plans to accomplish it.

Trump all along claimed that he was going to shut down trade from China. But he claims he will only put tariffs on goods from China of only 10%. Instead of carrying that out as if that’s a lot, he has now decided to put a tariff on goods coming from Canada of at least 25%, which means goods coming from Canada will cost more. The tariffs will be paid by the consumer. Things like building materials, food  and electronics. Oh, and that’s not even enough. Trump loves tariffs so much, he also plans to tax goods coming in from Mexico. The construction industry relies on UNDOCUMENTED people to run. If you increase the goods coming in by at least 25%, what do you think will happen to building materials, electronics and clothing goods.

EVERY TARIFF GETS PASSED ON TO THE CONSUMERS. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS EXCEPT TRUMP WHO WILL BECOME KNOWN AS THE DESTROYER OF THE ECONOMY IF HE CARRIES OUT HIS PLANS AS JUST STATED.

Trump claims by doing this to our neighbor countries will stop the flow of drugs and drug trafficking. Even if he could do this, he would wreck the economy as a result.

Canada and Mexico will retaliate. So now, the cost of goods may go up at least 25-30% by imposing tariffs that the consumer must pay for.

I truly believe that Donald Trump will do the inevitable, because he is hiring the trade hawks in his nominated cabinet that will do it.

Trump went personally bankrupt 6 times, now he’s trying to bankrupt the United States, and if he carries on his plan and he’s successful, that is exactly what he will do. Then we go into a recession. Products will become scarce and the cost of things available will skyrocket, but unfortunately most people would not be able to afford the high prices. I’m still struggling to figure out why the country thinks Donald Trump is best for the economy.

We have given the keys to our economy to Trump, and what I just said is what he plans to do. I hope that I’m wrong. I hope that EVERY statement mentioned in this document is wrong. But presently, there is nothing or proof of any kind to say that I am wrong. On January 20th when Trump becomes the 47th President of the United States, let’s see what he does. There will be a flurry of executive actions, and I’m wondering how long it will take for Trump to kick off the tariffs.

Honestly, Donald Trump is a dumb human being. I’ll explain that in another document. But what is mentioned here is just the start of the destruction he plans to accomplish in the next four years. Hopefully in 2026, he will lose the power of the Congress to implement his actions, as the House and Senate will again be taken by the Democrats. If Donald Trump puts on the tariffs, at least one or both will be taken by the Democrats. But the first 2 years of his term are looking to be quite bumpy.

Your head should be up and your chins should be out but this time you need to close your eyes and plug your nose. IT’S COMING! Donald Trump will not run for re-election because he will have served two terms as president, he will act unchecked and has nothing to loose, except what will be waiting for him in 2029 outside of the presidency. I’ll explain this in another article. Hopefully our economy will still be in tact, but if it’s not, it will take another Democratic president to try and right the ship.

 

Republicans on Track to gain Total Control of Government

Presently, the U.S. House of Representatives is set to be controlled by Republicans, and it will give Democrats no control over the Federal Government. Donald Trump will hire his minions to slave under him to run the Federal Government and King Trump will commit crimes as President under the umbrella of his office which will allow him to create these crimes and TOTALLY get away from being prosecuted because of them, thanks to presidential immunity given to him by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Republicans are presently on track in the House of Representatives, with a present tally of only 209 seats filled by Democrats and 216 filled by Republicans. The Republicans only need to gain 2 more seats in the upcoming House of Representatives, as there are 10 more seats up for grabs. The party to first reach 218 Senators chosen to serve in the upcoming House will gain control of it for at least the next two years.

The Senate has already fallen to Republicans, as they take control of the Senate on January 3rd. The present Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell will be stepping down as leader, so there will be a new Republican majority leader in the Senate. Mitch McConnell will still serve just as a Senator representing Kentucky.  My guess will be Senator Rick Scott of Florida will become the new Senate leader. Why do I say that? It’s because Trump would like it and Elon Musk supports it. Also, Mitch McConnell doesn’t support Rick Scott. Trump despises McConnell, so whatever McConnell wants, Trump will do the opposite. So, I feel that it’s a sure bet that Rick Scott will gain the position of Senate Majority Leader because the minions under Donald Trump will give Trump what he wants. Most Republicans believe that Scott may be the only Senator out there that would be able to achieve Trumps goals in the Senate. The leader needs to be chosen by a simple majority in the Senate. To me, this is a sure bet. But I have been wrong before.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: November 13th, 2024

As usual as has been the case with my choice for President, The Republican Caucus has chosen Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota, Mitch McConnell’s pick to be Senate Majority leader, instead of Senator Rick Scott of Florida, whom I thought would get the job. Presently, he is 2nd in rank as the whip, but with a secret ballot by Senators so Trump cannot know who voted against his pick for fear of retribution by Trump, he will take the reins as the Senate Majority leader on January 3rd, despite what Donald Trump wants. Trump was open on who he wanted as the Senate leader, and that was Senator Rick Scott of Florida.

Regarding Trump, never in my wildest imaginations did I believe that a two-time impeached president Trump, a convicted felon and rapist, would be America’s choice for President of the United States, especially what he caused 4 years ago on January 6.  Police and rioters lost their lives because of him as they stormed the Capital, and he just sat down in the White House and watched the scenes unfold on a TV. His own vice-president was being attacked in the Capital, and he did nothing about it. Trump has wiggled out of accountability time and time again for the things he has done in the past that is a clear show of breaking the law.

So, if you are a supporter of democracy, the future of America seems to be grim. But again, the electorate has chosen Donald J. Trump, a sexual predator, a fraudster and last but not least, a convicted felon, to be their leader for the next four years. I push that thought home many times in the future, as the country wreaks of Donald Trumps corruption. The government that looks more and more of an autocracy every day, will be run as Trump will rule as king for the next four years with no guard rails, except for democratic State governments that will continue ruling under the rule of law and oppose Trump any way they can.  Donald J. Trump will govern  just as dictators do around the world. The only ones that can and will keep Donald Trump in check will be state Democrats that obviously will have no power in the Federal Government. These states will do everything in their power to protect their states.

What will Trump and the Republican Party do in the next four years? I can only imagine presently, but my imagination, unfortunately in most cases, will become reality.

For starters, Trump will close the borders as he has promised on January 20th, to be his first act as president. He will instruct ICE to round up and jail and remove millions of people, possibly up to 11 million, who are now in this country. The dreamers, who have been here for most of their lives, may also be rounded up and deported. Trump is fixing to break up families, send back immigrants who desperately want to live here because they will be prosecuted if they return to their own country and in many cases face death. But this is the world we will be living in for the next four years.

Other things to look forward to will be Trump rolling back Biden administration policies on education, firing potentially thousands of federal employees he believes are secretly working against him, and pardoning people who were arrested for their role in the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Look for the immediate firing of Special Council Jack Smith, as Trump will make most of his criminal cases just go away, at least the federal ones. But Trump cannot pardon himself when it comes to his state conviction in the New York hush money case, but he could seek leverage with his status as president-elect in an effort to set aside or expunge his felony conviction and stave off a potential prison sentence.

The Georgia case against Trump involving election interference will most likely be the only criminal case left standing. But nothing will be done in the case until at least 2029, not until Trump steps down as president. The question is, what grips of government will Trump have in four years, and will he be able to be forced to leave office?

Trump will pardon supporters who attacked the capital. Approximately 1,500 people have been charged for what they have done 4 years ago at the U.S. Capital. The convicted felon president calls the rioters “unbelievable patriots”.

In his demented mind, Trump wants to dismantle in what he thinks as a ‘deep state’ of government workers. He will strip tens of thousands of career employees of their civil service protections so that they can be more easily fired. These people working in these positions are apolitical, meaning they do not support political parties, and are usually the last guard rails to what would be ill-advised political decisions of the president. Instead, Trump plans to replace them with people of political status that would support his wishes.

Trump wants to impose tariffs on imported goods, especially those from China. He thinks that’s a way to shrink the federal deficit and help lower food prices. In general, he proposed at least a 10% tariff across-the board on imported goods, a 60% import tax on goods from China and 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico. Trump does not need U.S. Congress to implement tariffs, so here comes the higher prices on merchandise made in China or around the globe on EVERYTHING that is not made in the United States.

Trump claims that he will inform the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum “I’m going to inform her on Day 1 or sooner that if they don’t stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I’m going to immediately impose a 25% tariff on everything they send into the United States of America.”

Just as a reminder, for Americans to purchase these goods, American citizens will be paying the tariff, not China, and not Mexico. So if inflation was on the ballot in 2024, and Americans believe they made the right move by electing Trump to protect them from inflation, they have a rude awakening coming when higher prices hit the markets on ALL foreign goods, especially from China.

Trump promises to roll back protections for transgender students. He plans to roll back the Biden administration action seeking to protect transgender students from discrimination in schools on the first day of his new administration. Trump plans to roll back new Title IX protections of transgender students from their classmates. Trump plans to cut federal money for any school “pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the lives of our children.”

Trump has pledged to dismantle the Department of Education, which has been a cabinet-level agency since 1980, cut federal funding for schools teaching critical race theory, and bar transgender female athletes from participating in school sports. Donald Trump may close down the Department of Education, but the functions of the Department of Education will need to continue. The department houses the office of Civil Rights, which enforces federal civil rights laws across schools to protect students against discrimination. Regulation by the Department of Education also affect college sports, which is one thing that Republicans would not want to see impacted.

The rights of LGBTQ+ students would suffer under a Trump Administration due to the changes that would likely be made to Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in education. Trump’s policies will welcome sex-based discrimination in education.

Trump wants to “Drill baby Drill”, with the intention of reversing climate policies aimed at reducing planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. He can do this on Day 1, as he can roll back environmental protections, halt wind projects, and scuttle the Biden administration’s target that encourage the switch to electric cars and abolish standards for companies to become more environmentally friendly. He wants increase production of U.S. fossil fuels, and wants to open the Arctic wilderness to oil drilling.

Trump claims he will settle the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day. I can say now that this will be impossible to happen. Trump’s best chance is to get Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table to end the war. But Trump claims he can do anything. We will see what he gets done on day one. There will be a lot of damage done, and little good will come out on day 1, especially if he carries out his threat to be “a dictator on day 1. ”

Mass deportations from the U.S. to Mexico is a sure thing. Trump claims that he would invoke the ‘Alien Enemies Act’. It is a 1780 law that allows the president to deport anyone who is not an American citizen and is from a country in which there is a ‘declared war’ or a threatened or attempted “invasion or predatory incursion.”

He claims that he may deploy National Guard troops to nearby states that refuse to participate in mass deportations of people living in their states. Trump is inviting mass riots and dissention into his immigration policies. What’s not so funny now is that people who voted Trump into office will be affected negatively when it comes to deporting their relatives who are not yet citizens. That was a smart choice, America…?,./{/??.
