Trump’s Slump

Let’s be very clear about this move. By creating havoc in the world’s financial markets Trump has created optimum circumstances for those who are unaffected by the slump – by virtue of holding incredible wealth – to fight takeover wars, buying companies at their lowest prices against the day life returns to normal. The difference being that those who have already, will now have even more. Dressed up as building a strong American economy for the common workers it is actually a feeding frenzy for the very wealthiest in the world.

Even President Trump admitted it this morning saying ‘You will get rich, richer than ever before.’ Was he talking to the rednecks who attacked the government at the last failed attempt for Trump to take office? Certainly not! Was he talking to the wealthiest with which he surrounded himself in the lead up to the last election? Who else?

For the rest of the world, who live on scrimping and saving, the effects are yet to be seen.

In the rising insurrection liable to be seen in America shortly, leading up to the next election, the President has only to declare a state of crisis and martial law to maintain his stranglehold on power.

The best reaction the world can show is to ignore trading with America and get on with trading between themselves as friendly markets, not the hostile ones that the President is determined to foist on us all.

Will the common man in Amerca gain? It seems most unlikely to me.
