The Economist magazine on Wednesday named a potential Donald Trump presidency as one of its top 10 global risks.
“In the event of a Trump victory, his hostile attitude to free trade, and alienation of China and Mexico in particular, could escalate rapidly into a trade war — and at least scupper the Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] between the U.S. and 11 other American and Asian states signed in February 2016,” the Economist Intelligence Unit wrote in its assessment.
“His militaristic tendencies towards the Middle East (and ban on all Muslim travel to the U.S.) would be a potent recruitment tool for jihadi groups, increasing their threat both within the region and beyond,” it added. The publication said it expects Trump, the GOP's presidential front-runner, to lose to Democrat Hillary Clinton in the general election, but noted that a terrorist attack or economic downturn could help put Trump over the top.
“It is worth noting that the innate hostility within the Republican hierarchy towards Mr. Trump, combined with the inevitable virulent Democratic opposition, will see many of his more radical policies blocked in Congress — albeit such internal bickering will also undermine the coherence of domestic and foreign policy making,” the magazine said.

This is just more liberal media lies against Trump.
Trump is the ONLY one that the media , the Gope ,the democrats/soros/socialists, and the world establishment are out to destroy. So that tells you he is the only one for WE the people, and for America and for freedom.
Only Trump will stop TPP and China and the socialist illegals’ invasion of the USA!
Only Trump understands how China’s currency manipulations are an effective tarrif against U.S. products..
Only Trump understands what China and I do that where the factories are so is the technology, the production, the jobs , the wealth and the power.
The politicians are all frauds and have sold out America, they’ve all but destroyed America. They have America and us on the edge of the abyss. Just one little push and we fall.TPP is a big push and with TPP they will send us hurtling into the dark abyss of socialism and destruction.
If Trump can pull it off and overcome the media and GOPe and become president he will save America. Trump is risking his wealth for America for us. If he becomes president then we will owe him our property, our lives, our country, our incomes and our freedom! Truly he is William Wallace of Braveheart only 10 billion times better. I salute you sir.
There was a top economist, forget the name, on FBN the other day who is static over a Trump Presidency. Says Trump is the only one to ever make payroll, understands trade and inversions, things that will really help us.
NWO/Globalist freakout in progress.
I hope these people die from lack of sleep.
Did you see that SOB interviewed by Hannity tonight? He was justifying the brokered convention shenanigans they have planned. Sean, to his credit, let him have it.
The other 9 are if Trump doesn’t get elected..
TPP is the worst thing ever for America.
Trump will stop TPP.
Oh my, If we don’t surrender our sovereignty we’ll all be dead
“His militaristic tendencies towards the Middle East (and ban on all Muslim travel to the U.S.) would be a potent recruitment tool for jihadi groups”
OMG maybe we need to keep Obama ...
And here I thought the Economist catered to a mindful readership
“His militaristic tendencies towards the Middle East”
And Hillary hasn’t shown any militaristic tendencies in the Middle East?
Just complete, wholesale fabrications on the part of the chattering class
Though not included in the article, #11 is Moochelle’s ass blotting out the sun, resulting in massive crop failures and global starvation. On the plus side, it would also reverse the effects of “global warming”...
I cannot tell you how saddened and despondent I am over the intransigence and lack of vision among Freepers.
Cruz, and the non-stop hours-and-hours per day hate on Trump are bought and paid for by GLOBALISTS, whose future rides upon destroying Trump.
“This is just more liberal media lies against Trump.

I agree.
The poisonous British Economist is a rabid agent for the muslims and a rabid anti-Israel rag.
Oh my God what a load of manure! I will not vote for Trump. But this is ....
Truth ^^^
Hyperbole much?
Suck it globe.
The Economist, is a snotty, smarmy liberal rag.
“...who is static...”
I take it you mean “ecstatic”?
