Steve Rattner: Trump's mass deportation and trade war plans will tank the economy

In other words - like an orange Idi Amin.

And Rattner's wrong about the effect of mass deportation on prices: like in Uganda, they would rise sharply (if you can find things at all) as consumers and business alike resort to mass hoarding.

It's Harris/Walz or else we all go back to the food lines of the great depression. Rattner points out, what TSF is proposing economists say will tank the economy so badly, it'll be twice as bad as the Bush depression in 2007.

They're a bunch of WHINY CHILDREN who don't want to be told what to do, especially by a woman.

You know, potty training flashbacks can be tough.

They hate regulation more than they love being so rich.
