COMMENT: Marty, you have been proper. These individuals are myopic and don’t know of how the world financial system features. They reveal their ignorance, blaming Trump’s tariffs for the approaching recession, while you identified that even China turned them down, as did Europe, as quickly as your ECM turned them down one yr in the past. The pretend information and evaluation is unbelievable.

REPLY: I do know. It was inevitable that the decline on the planet financial system could be blamed on Trump and his tariffs when it’s actually all about extreme regulation and taxes on a world stage. Anybody who blames the tariffs has ignored historical past and has purchased into the propaganda of the Democrats that blamed the Nice Melancholy on tariffs through the 1932 election. No critical economist has ever agreed with that because the Smoot-Hawley Act was a response to Europe, and it was handed in June 1930, after the crash had already begun. It was centered on agriculture.
These are the idiotic statements that forestall society from studying something in any respect. Ultimately November’s World Financial Convention in Orlando, I warned we have been headed right into a recession within the USA, however most certainly a melancholy in Europe. That forecast was earlier than Trump’s tariffs, simply because the Smoot-Hawley Tariff got here after the 1929 Crash in June 1930.
