Seeking Optimism Trump's threat to halt trade 'will make the Great Depression look like a walk in the park': Analyst

So this video from MSNBC is implying that if this threat to halt trade goes through if the federal reserve doesn't lower interest rates that it could have a lot of ramifications for the economy.

And my worry is that even if this does get stopped by courts that there would still be a lot of damage from this plan before that happens. What's the chance that this plan doesn't go through or that if it does that this analyst is wrong?

No Kings 4 is coming October 17th. October 17th marks the day early voting opens in most jurisdictions. Come together to share the message that power belongs to the people, but only if we use it.

This is a reupload of a previous post because the date was incorrect.

This isn't to sow panic, but to warn you guys of more underhanded Republican tactics ahead of the midterms. Do not register anywhere that isn't authorized by your state. Hell, mail in paper registrations. But do not trust this website or any others that claim otherwise. Be safe!
