"SNIP.....

“I feel that if the Democrats get in we are literally going to end up in a recession-slash-depression the likes of which you’ve never seen. There will be tremendous negative growth, tremendous bedlam all over the place, there won’t be law and order. You’ll have a Seattle, you’ll have a Minneapolis like you’ve never seen before. The whole country will be Minneapolis.”

— President Trump, quoted by the Washington Post, during a 20-minute interview with Donald Trump Jr. on his online show “Triggered.”

.....SNIP"

Like shunning masks in a pandemic is not american carnage.

If not for bill gates and others that Trump action would unleash hell on the world.

The whole country will be Minneapolis.

Seattle and Minneapolis are actually quite pleasant places; I've spent a fair amount of time in both of them. It's not as if both cities have been entirely reduced to smoldering heaps of rubble. The current protests are really very low on the scale of American bedlam, compared to say the Watts or Rodney King protests.

And there will always be Law & Order; those shows will be in rerun forever.

10. Pay attention to Trump when he says the economy is going down the drain if he is not reelected.

Pay attention to Trump when he says the economy is going down the drain if he is not reelected.

He is telling us what shape he will leave the country in.

Despite his excuses, Trump gets full credit for any bad in the economy just as he takes full credit for any good in the economy.
