And so the major recession that's long been predicted finally begins (right on time, IMHO - they almost always start in the latter half of January when they've been pushed off as much as possible like this & the investors get the year-end numbers they wanted).
As conditions deteriorate and people become more desperate, Trump (more accurately, his Heritage Foundation handlers) will use the disarray to impose martial law, and the US will decend further towards civil war.
I hope I'm wrong.
It's small; but my grandfather, who regularly takes trips across the border (Can>USA) to buy groceries, gas, and visit casinos, exchanged his perpetual collection of USD.
He's never going back to the US.
'investors' large and small are abandoning the US. Rightfully so.

You'll find out the big guys have been selling off for at least a week already.

Everything seems to be fine. Markets up. No problems in America right now according to the market.
There is something that isn't working for me about this scenario. Fascist regimes either come to power because there was a deep recession or they engineer a fake boom after taking power to justify their hard-handed tactics.
I can't think of a single case where a fascist regime took power and then cratered a stable economy. That's not a rational way to start imposing restrictive laws, since there is only downside to keeping them on. You give up liberty in exchange for poverty? That is hardly a bargain anyone would make.
