Larry Summers: The prospect of Donald Trump being president is the gravest threat to America
Yahoo Finance ^ | 04/14/16 | Nicole Sinclair

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers spoke at the International Monetary Fund on Wednesday, warning against austerity measures amid a tepid economy. Yahoo Finance sat down with him to get little more color on the economy and to find out what keeps him up most at night. “I think the prospect of Donald Trump being President would be the gravest threat to our prosperity, our security, and our freedom in my adult lifetime,” Summers said. “That's the thing I would worry most about.”

"...our prosperity, our security, and our freedom..."

Interesting choice of words...I don't see "America" used, just "our".

Could it be he's talking about demoncRATS to demoncRATS?

Posting about Larry Summers and supporting his nonsensical hysterics outs you about this ‘.’ close if not closer to being a Clinton supporter.

20 Trillion in debt, Summers should be summarily executed.

And Mr. Summers Obama’s 10 trillion dollars in debt, trillions of dollars of regulatory costs. 100s of trillions of unfunded liabilities has just been working great?

(not a Trump supporters here)

Nope! The gravest danger is to the elites getting richer while the vast middle class gets poorer, and foreign countries receiving FREE military protection from United States. That wouldn’t be so bad if our treasury was flush with surplus, but in reality we are borrowing more money from China to act as world police. By any accounting standards, we are flat broke.

To have the Marxist Left fear DONALD J. TRUMP suits most patriots just fine.

ANNNNND, he doesn’t have to commit fraud to run up his delegate count.

Trump is the gravest threat? I guess he has never heard the names Clinton or Sanders, or how about Al-Qaeda, perhaps ISIS? Has he had any concerns with what obamaramadingdongsucker has done the seven plus years?

The biggest threat Trump or for that matter Cruz represent is to liberals and enemies of America, but I repeat myself.

Unless the Republican winner(I hope) is allowed to rule as a monarch in the same vein that Lord Foul has been allowed to, which I doubt, we will have two other branches of government actually doing their job. Well unless the demonrats take back the Congress.

You can probably imagine how excited I will be on the day we again inaugurate a real American as president. I will be there in person, and I will be celebrating from Election Day until Inauguration Day if we restore the presidency with either a Trump win or a Cruz win.

As opposed to Summers management of the Harvard endowment?

What was that worth -$1.8B?

The prospect of any president who will not repeal Obama’s entire legacy is the gravest threat to America.

The President can't repeal anything on his own. It takes a Congress to pass the bill, and the President to sign it.

The "Uniparty" crowd out there who doesn't care if Republican hold on to Congress better think carefully. Because whatever the chances are of a GOP-controlled Congress voting to repeal anything Obama did, the chance of a Democrat-controlled Congress doing so are exactly zero.

I thought the greatest threat to America is when you served as Secretary of the Treasury, Larry,

“For once, Larry has got something right. Trump is a loser and sociopath and has no business being president. He never ran for office in NY because even NYer’s think he’s a douche bag. “

I see you side with the Clintoon administration. Says all we need to know about you.

The GOP Establishment, the Democratic National Committee, the Uniparty IOW, the Globalists, the illegal raiders, the perpetual-victimhood industry, the Main Stream Media, the RINO publications, they all want to stop Trump NOW.

Because the people are tired of business as usual.

Don’t underestimate how low they will go. Or those getting paid to run interference for them.

Ha, what would one expect? This is like Al Capone saying Eliot Ness would be the greatest threat as U.S. President.
