It's actually getting kind of hard to think of new, stupider ways to ruin the economy and raise the cost of living. Parody is getting close to being indistinguishable from reality.

  • Blanket tariffs for goods with low domestic production? Done.
  • Imprisoning laborers who do domestic farming? Yes.
  • Deporting legal, tax-paying noncitizens? Yep.
  • Pissing off citizens of countries that contribute significantly to local tourism? Indeed.
  • Asking potential tourists to pay extra for the privilege of visiting a to-be-sold-for-industrial-logging park? Why not.
  • Cutting healthcare and replacing it with a bonus for the 0.001%? Might as well!

  • Scare away all the best and brightest of the entire world that you brought to your country to give the competitive edge in science, engineering and tech.

  • Make the business climate so uncertain that nobody wants to invest anything in research or build new facilities, except in moving their facilities out of the country

I’m just waiting for the economy to catch up and trigger the next Great Depression

It may be the Greatest Depression. People are saying they have never seen a bigger Depression.
