Donald Trump isn’t parsing words when it comes to the future of the American economy. His outlook isn’t good, but he think he knows how to fix it.
Donald Trump said in an interview that economic conditions are so perilous that the country is headed for a “very massive recession” and that “it’s a terrible time right now” to invest in the stock market, embracing a distinctly gloomy view of the economy that counters mainstream economic forecasts.
The New York billionaire dismissed concern that his comments — which are exceedingly unusual, if not unprecedented, for a major party front-runner — could potentially affect financial markets.
“I know the Wall Street people probably better than anybody knows them,” said Trump, who has misfired on such predictions in the past. “I don’t need them.”
Trump’s go-it-alone instincts were a consistent refrain — “I’m the Lone Ranger,” he said at one point — during a 96-minute interview Thursday in which he talked candidly about his aggressive style of campaigning and offered new details about what he would do as president.
The real estate mogul, top aides and his son Don Jr. gathered over lunch at a makeshift conference table set amid construction debris at Trump’s soon-to-be-finished hotel five blocks from the White House. Just before, he had met there with his foreign-policy advisers and just after he visited officials at the Republican National Committee — signs that, in spite of his Trump-knows-best manner, the political novice is making efforts to build a more well-rounded bid.
Trump, at another March 30 campaign event in Appleton, Wis., has surprisingly pessimistic views about the health of the U.S. economy, but intends to change that with massive trade renegotiations.
Over the course of the discussion, the candidate made clear that he would govern in the same nontraditional way that he has campaigned, tossing aside decades of American policy and custom in favor of a new, Trumpian approach to the world.
In his first 100 days, Trump said, he would cut taxes, “renegotiate trade deals and renegotiate military deals,” including altering the U.S. role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
He insisted that he would be able to get rid of the nation’s more than $19 trillion national debt “over a period of eight years.”
Many call Donald’s plan impossible — to be fair, Donald has a knack for exaggeration — but Trump’s business expertise may put him in a position to know better than any of the lifelong politicians who claim they can do it better.
While they continue to fight for government-expanding programs in order to appeal to American voters, Trump has made it fairly clear that he answers to no one, and will likely examine and cut any dollar necessary to make it happen, popular or not.

What the$#%&!@*do you smoke?
We were 19 trillion two years ago, Obama wrote executive order to stop debt clock too! Far worse than you think folks
Uh,,, duh.
Someone needs to find a legal way to get BARACK OBAMA OUT OF the White House!!! NOW!!!!! He has accelerated his plans just in the last month!!! WE are sinking fast!!! He is trying to cause a Civil war among us so that he can claim MARTIAL LAW and if that happens he will stop the voting and stay President!!!! Obama is trying to make America a Communist country! It seems he has everything in place!! Here is a little bit on Obama!!! He is behind the Bureau of Land Management, LAND GRABBING, they shot a farmer in the back for his land in Oregon and they have been trying to grab land in other states!! He is trying to approval to give social security and disability to ILLEGALS!!! HILLARY CLINTON, did a thesis in college on Saul Alinskys writings AND Barrack Hussein Obama wrote about him in his books. Saul Alinsky was a communist socialist. Alinskys rules are currently at play!! There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a Liberal Socialist state. Healthcare, control healthcare and you control the people (done).
Poverty, increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live (done).
Debt, increase debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty (done).
GUN CONTROL, remove the ability to defend themselves from the government, that way you are able to create a police state (working on it).
Welfare, take control of every aspect of their lives (food, housing, and income (done).
Education, take control of what people read and listen to. Take control of what children learn in schools (done).
Religion, remove the belief in the God from the government and schools (done).
Class warfare, divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor (done).
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING in the United States?? Alinsky simplified Vladimir Lenins original scheme for the world conquest by Communism, under Russian rule. STALIN described his converts as ” Useful Idiots”. The Useful Liberal idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It’s presently happening at an alarming rate in this United States. If people can read this and still say everything is just fine, they are all useful idiots, it’s difficult to free fools from the chains they revere! WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Hillary Clinton a Liberal Socialist, is running for office! She is backed by George Soros, a Communist Socialist, who backs and controls BARACK Hussein Obama!! If TED CRUZ or any of the other candidates get elected they are controllable ( puppets), NOT Donald Trump! VOTE TRUMP he is the only Establishment person trying to stop all of this!!!
Trump Knows Business … And He Sees What’s Been Going On With The Way Our Phony Leaders Have Done To Country … He WILL Change This Self Serving Bureaucracy!!
