What gets me about all this garbage from Trump supporters is that they don't realize or care that he has no policies. He is simply a chaos candidate that wants to destroy. He has no plans. no guiding philosophy and strategy. He is like a blind bus driver heading in all directions until it crashes and burns.

In all actuality, we are running out of workers. The U6 is dropping faster than U3 at this point.

Our population growth rate is half what is was in the 1950s and half of our current population growth is from immigration. Low household formation equals low consumer demand and that is not something you fix quickly or easily, especially when you are scaring off immigrants. Consumer demand and productivity gains equal GDP growth, in the simplest terms. Neither is looking good at the present.

The US Dollar has risen about 40 percent versus the Yen and 25 percent versus the Euro. Most of the movement and the accompanying deterioration in the trade deficit coincides with their undertaking "emergency" monetary policy to weaken their currencies.

If he wants a smaller trade deficit, he would have to risk a rise in US interest rates and a fall in the US stock market,
