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.
