White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has long been a sycophantic twit, but he took his worshipful adoration of Donald Trump to a new and embarrassing level with a post he made on social media suggesting that the so-called president had just pulled off the “greatest economic master strategy” in American history by imposing and then pausing trade tariffs that sent global markets into freefall, costing U.S. investors trillions of dollars.
Here’s what Miller posted on Twitter/X:
Master strategy? Is that supposed to be some kind of joke? If so, it’s missing a punch line and laughter.
In fact, a recession is now more likely than ever, according to The New Republic.
“Some of the country’s largest investment firms—including JP Morgan and MetLife—are still warning their clients that the country is on the verge of a recession, despite the seemingly temporary market frenzy sparked by Trump’s decision to cave on his trade war.”
“JP Morgan said Wednesday evening that it wouldn’t change its economic forecast, predicting a 60 percent chance of a recession both at home and around the world. Goldman Sachs said that the odds of entering an economic downturn had been slightly buoyed by Trump’s news, but the odds were still elevated at around 45 percent.”
“’My sense here is that the economy is still likely to fall into recession, given the level of simultaneous shocks that it’s absorbed,’ Joe Brusuelas, chief economist of consulting firm RSM, told CNN. ‘All this does is postpone temporarily what will likely be a series of punitive import taxes put on U.S. trade allies.'”
What’s so masterful about driving the American economy into a ditch? It’s the same thing Trump has been doing for decades with his own business ventures, many of which went belly up thanks to his harebrained leadership. The man is responsible for more bankruptcies and corporate imposions than almost anyone in history.
Miller’s boasting of a “master strategy” was ripped apart on social media.
