Trump continues running up the escalation ladder with China …

Which will come first as a result ???

The collapse of the East Asian / world economy … or …

a military encounter that could quickly ratchet up to include a nuclear exchange ???

Trump and RPBs won’t have time to destroy US society by killing O-care / Medicare / Social Security / financial regulation / Icahn etc …

They’re going to blow up the whole world long before …

“Navarro, 67, a professor at UC Irvine, who holds a doctorate from Harvard, is the author of a series of jeremiads,

including a 2012 documentary film, “Death by China,”

in which an animation of a Chinese knife stabs a map of the United States and causes blood to run freely” …

Imagine the impact of that image on Chinese social media …

Re destroying US economy / society by attacking the principle of financial regulations —

“Trump’s choice of [ Carl Icahn ] a major corporate investor to play a role in rewriting regulations — that could affect [his] companies —

renewed concerns about conflicts of interest in the next administration.

“The corrupt nature of this arrangement cannot be understated,”

Eric Walker, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement about Icahn’s appointment.

“Voters who [ foolishly thought ] Trump would drain the swamp just got another face full of mud.”

The president-elect also said that the billionaire investor Carl Icahn would serve as a special adviser on regulatory issues.
