Trump Throws ENTIRE WORLD into ECONOMIC DEATH TRAP

Max from @UNFTR examines the revised GDP figures along with hotter than expected inflation data to show how the economy was already falling off a cliff prior to the war in Iran. Now that we’re caught in a quagmire in the Middle East again with no clear plan or way out, Trump’s actions threaten to take down the global economy. He discusses the oil markets, consumer demand and why the Fed is powerless to stop the bleeding in a period of fiscal dominance.
