In a revealing interview, Trump predicts a ‘massive recession’ .......
The Washington Post ^ | April 2, 2016 | Bob Woodward and Robert Costa

Posted on 04/02/2016 6:51:22 PM PDT by yoe

Donald Trump said in an interview that economic conditions are so perilous that the country is headed for a “very massive recession” and that “it’s a terrible time right now” to invest in the stock market, embracing a distinctly gloomy view of the economy that counters mainstream economic forecasts.

The New York billionaire dismissed concern that his comments — which are exceedingly unusual, if not unprecedented, for a major party front-runner — could potentially affect financial markets.

With 94 million people out of the work force, and granted, a per cent of those are retired or whatever, who in their dam right mind thinks that the unemployment rate is 5%?

WHO THINKS THAT!!!

Say if the true figure is 40 million,what is that per cent rate compared to the available work force in the USA?

The True unemployment rate is OVER 25%

Once the fed stops covering for the totally destroyed economy, the real impact will take a full 4 years of a conservative president, House and Senate just to turn the direction around. No chance after even 4 years, will the economy be in the positive, the damage inflicted is so great.

Every sensible person knows we can’t keep borrowing from our children, grandchildren and their grandchildren as this evil president has doubled the national debt to $20 TRILLION. The merry-go-round will definitely stop. It’s only a matter of time. Sacrifice to pay off your debts as soon as you can. Buy only things useful to your survival.

This generational theft will be the focus of conversation of every American for the next 60 years. Very rare will there NOT be 4-letter expletives describing this generation.

Lentils are the best vegetable protein, taking only 20mins to cook from dried and what a pretty rainbow of colors in varieties. I could eat ham/lentil soup everyday with a dollop of sour cream.

He’s totally right. The uniparty’s Wall Street cronies are holding off until Trump gets elected so they can blame it on him.

“the present POTUS is just as dim as those he appoints. “

He’s not dim, he’s devious.

I believe that we’ve been in a recession for the last 9 years. The market is a confidence game that kept up by lies and manipulated statistics. The other Burnie (Madoff) was a rank amateur.

I believe the Rats did exactly that in 2008.

Exactly true. My theory is that the Rats had help from Geo Soros et al. The truth will come out one day. It was just too much of a coincidence to have that huge crash right at end of October 2008, so that zippy could slide into office. Good old McCain. He KNEW - remember the #$%&*( suspending his campaign to go back to DC to deal with it? ARGHHH that was the moment he purposely tossed the election to O. HE and the rest of the GOP and the RATS are all in this together.

And if I hear one more time how all the Trump supporters are just low information dummies.. I’ll spit.

Time to try something different.

I share your belief - they did everything possible to sabotage Bush.

I’d be satisfied if he’d just talk about the one we’re already in openly.

I also believe that we were in more of a depression than a big recession after Obama’s first year.

When you are running by the seat of your pants tripping up is enevitable. And, in this case, common, regular and routine.

Huh? Raise taxes? Where do you get that?

We have a national debt of $20 Trillion.
Many banks in Europe are charging a NEGATIVE interest rate.
Our Federal Reserve has used all of their QE bullets.
The Federal Reserve raised the interest rate by a 1/4 point last December and the market sunk 2,000 points.

Yup, all is well.

Running by the seat of your pants or a non-politician??

If web media had been invented during the time of Washington, would we have said the same thing? I would rather have a Joe six-pack as president than the piece of excrement we have now.. Mr. Smooth Talker/Cool Guy/Has All The Answers/Preezy of the United Steezy. Excuse me while I throw. up.

Haven’t we been begging God to send us a non-politician?? I do know that DT loves this country (unlike zero and other politicians, and will surround himself with the best of the best advisors (unlike zero *cough muslim brotherhood cough*) and other politicians.
