What is the best way to create a world wide economic disaster?

I know, elect the most unqualified, most mentally unfit, corrupt person to the most important job in the world, the presidency of America.

Have that person put in place trickle down economics. Have them start a tariff war and have them dismantle the world order piece by piece and replace it with, whatever happens.

It is just a matter of time before something goes terribly wrong. Now would be a better time for it to happen. Right before the election.

the treasury. Blow up the economy. Get voted out temporarily. Then blame "the left" for all the economic devastation they themselves caused and for not fixing things fast enough. Then the fucking rubes vote them right back in because they have the attention span of a gnat.
Lather, rinse, repeat.......

The greater the damage to the Western democracies' economies, the better off Putin and the Russian oligarchs are.
The Russians are playing the long game... and winning.
And their boy in our White House is helping all he can.
