I know I'm late on this but what if I made and sold US flags that weren't accurate? Like 13 stripes and 49 stars. Could people legally burn those in the future? And if Trump gets in a nuclear war with China or India and flags get burned in the process does he get a ticket?

they can switch their industrial strength to other things a lot quicker than we can build new plants/find new suppliers in other countries

like a lot of the poo poo we even make here has chinese manufactured parts

like it sounds great to say "oh we'd just shift things around" but you can't really just build hundreds/thousands of new plants overnight

What if that's the point of all this. Trigger a meltdown in the main engine of the globalist economy then use the resulting depression to justify massive infrastructure investment to win the support of the masses. The economy is too stable right now for fascists to take power, but kickstart a depression and all bets are off.

at this point, if he actually wanted a public infrastructure bill he's the one who could get it done

look at how tepid the GOPe pushback is on anything

My theory is that he continues the crazy for two years while abusing his power to negotiate with every country to build :TRUMP: hotels.

At the end of year two he gets the Republicans and Democrats together and offers to step down in exchange for every tax break, holiday, and easement imaginable.

He could make $100 billion easily and join his buddy Putin in the 9 digit club that he's always aspired to.

It's an open question what a massive influx of stimulus would do to the economy when it is relatively healthy. We need better wealth distribution, reduced working hours and benefit revamps to stabilize the economy, not a tax cut masquerading as a stimulus plan (This is what Trump is actually proposing). He's not even proposing the thing that would -actually- be useful, which is massive structural spending in infrastructure to revamp our civilization to fit in with the 21st century.

I already budgeted to buy a massive chest freezer and make a poo poo ton of food to stock up for a long work season come January. It looks like I'll also be stocking up on grains, spices and canned goods as well! Worst case I don't shop for a year, best case I become a king...A KING!

oh i'm not saying go for trump's current plan/proposal, but i'm saying if anyone could do an honest to god new deal style infrastructure proposal and get it passed, it's probably trump at this point

To a certain degree, but China's advantage can be mitigated by moving manufacturing out of China and to Mexico/Vietnam/Thailand etc.

China on the other hand can't get rid of the American advantages unless they go nuclear.
