At the time of this thread, it is Day 11 of the Trump administration. What will Day 166, America's 241st birthday, be like? Will the Boston Pops still play? Will there still be fireworks over the East River? Will local news in metropolitan areas still be filled with puff pieces? Or are we not gonna make it that long?

If Trump is still president in July, the DJIA will be around 14000 and millions will have died. His base will still be as strong as ever, getting their news from fake news.

I've been thinking a lot about how Trump will wage an unreasonable War on the War on Christmas that will dominate the holiday season and how it's going to feel like a Fascist Dictator Christmas Special Like isn't reacting to a piece on the War on Christmas on TV what Don Jr. said sparked Donald's quest towards the White House

gently caress Paul Krugman, I agreed with most of what he wrote about until the primaries started, where suddenly his constant left-ish critiques re: the state of the economy pivoted overnight into "America is great, we have zero unemployment, anyone who is unhappy needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get a job"

Paul Krugman's always been a hack. Back in 2003 he was arguing government deficits would threaten the solvency of the US government and that bond vigilantes would inevitably punish the government's irresponsibility by jacking up interest rates.quote:So what? Two years ago the administration promised to run large surpluses. A year ago it said the deficit was only temporary. Now it says deficits don't matter. But we're looking at a fiscal crisis that will drive interest rates sky-high. Here he is in 2012: quote:I argued yesterday that even if the heretofore invisible bond vigilantes materialize one of these days, their attack won’t have the effects the deficit hawks imagine. Because America has its own currency and a floating exchange rate, a loss of confidence would lead not to a contractionary rise in interest rates but to an expansionary fall in the dollar. Yes, it's true he kind of topped himself in 2016 when he literally wrote a column saying "everyone is worried about the state of the country but when I walk around my expensive neighbourhood in East Side Manhattan everyone seems to be doing just swell so I don't get what the big deal is." But he's always been an idiot and a hack.

He's the guy saying people would never want to shop online when it was such a lush personal experience to go to the shoping mall
