While trump and GOP policies will take us down even more, possibly into a depression, and after trump and the GOP did many of the same things that happened before the one hit in the 20's, given the wealthy breaks. trumps horrible response to the corona virus will come back to haunt him badly, no matter how he tries to spin it and lie about it, he failed. We get putins propaganda on the virus from trump and the GOP , not the truth,and trump again with the GOP repeating putins propaganda, like they did on the Ukraine issue. The Prince and Putin are against each other now with trump in the middle compromised by both of them. This will be interesting who's side trump takes now.
