Prediction:

If the #OrangePeril stays this crash course, he'll be remembered as the #POTUS who singlehandedly caused the #GreatDepression2.0, as is explained here by looking at what happened when #Hoover tried this suicide aproach back in 1930:

It has been done before and the results boosted the #GreatDepression, which was milder in very few nations, such as Japan. To keep the picture: the #TrumpTariffs are #MacroeconomicSepuku: https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/114270047650574975

"American History is the source of many enduring myths. George Washington didn’t chop down the cherry tree, Abraham Lincoln did not free the slaves (or even end slavery in this country), and Jim Crow was not the natural heir to post-war policies in the South in the 1860s and 70s. But myths persist, not because of any truths inherent in them, but because certain people find it advantageous to promote them." mises.org/mises-wire/herbert-h #linkoln #hoover #greatdepression #economics #capitalism

Mises InstituteHerbert Hoover, Enemy of Free Markets | Mises InstituteAn enduring myth among American historians is that President Hoover's response to the Depression was to let the free market work. This is totally false.

Given we’ve adopted Hoover as the replacement noun for Vacuum Cleaner, should not the act of using the Hoover be Hooving. “I’m going to hoov later on, using the hoover”. Hoovering implies we should call blending blendering, frying fryering. Although hamming with a hammer is going to be confusing. #hoover
