Donald Trump says USA on course for ‘a very massive recession;’ others have predictions supposedly about him

Donald Trump

Donald Trump put out an economic warning:

April 3, 2016

Milwaukee: Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump predicted that the United States is on course for a “very massive recession,” warning that a combination of high unemployment and an overvalued stock market had set the stage for another economic slump.

“I think we’re sitting on an economic bubble. A financial bubble,” the billionaire businessman said in an interview with The Washington Post published on Saturday.

Coming off a tough week on the campaign trail in which he made a series of missteps, Trump’s latest comments bring him back into the limelight ahead of Tuesday’s important primary in Wisconsin where he trails in the polls.

The former reality TV star said that the real US jobless figure is much higher than five percent number released by the US bureau of labour statistics.

“We’re not at 5% unemployment,” Trump said.

“We’re at a number that’s probably into the twenties if you look at the real number,” he said, adding that the official jobless figure is “statistically devised to make politicians—and in particular presidents—look good.”

Trump said “it’s a terrible time right now” to invest in the stock market, offering a more bleak view of the US economy than that held by many mainstream economists. http://www.livemint.com/Politics/jyR1w5Cx1NlpG0nQqMmiQP/Donald-Trump-predicts-massive-recession-in-US.html

Donald Trump is correct that the real unemployment number is understated. He is also correct that there is a type of stock market bubble (artificially low interest rates have contributed to this).

And at some point, the USA will face at least a ‘very massive recession.’

Presumably, Donald Trump believes making these statements will help him in the Wisconsin primary.

Matt Barber wrote the following:

Dutch politician and historian Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer (1801-1876) is credited with what seems an eerily prescient foreshadowing of the bizarre phenomenon that is “Trump 2016.”

“Pent-up anger and long-held frustration due to economic stagnation, moral decay, spiritual impotency, and political corruption,” he opined, “invariably pave the way for the rise of crass manipulators. Instead of a mastery of truth, such revolutionary opportunists tap into fear and rage, ignorance and prejudice, staging great public spectacles of narcissism.”

It’s human nature. Such sense of hopelessness, anger, betrayal and frustration can lead otherwise good people (some of whom I respect and admire) to make very bad decisions – to exercise poor judgment.

It gave us Barack Obama in 2008.

And Donald Trump in 2016.

Indeed, we’ve moved seamlessly from “Hope” and “Change We Can Believe In,” to “Make America Great Again.” It’s as though van Prinsterer had a crystal ball through which to keep tabs on the Donald’s ivory Trump Tower office suite. …

Moral decay, spiritual impotency, and political corruption? That’s America 2016 in toto. Since 1973 we’ve sacrificed nearly 60 million of our most innocent fellow citizens at Baal’s altar of convenience and “equality.” …

Enter Donald Trump – a several-times-bankrupt, big-government globalist, pro-socialized medicine, pro-abortion, pro-“gay marriage,” lifelong liberal Democrat – to save the day. That is, at least, to peddle the right kind of snake oil and bark the right kind of empty “Make America Great Again” platitudes that festering wounds crave and itching ears want to hear.

“… invariably pave the way for the rise of crass manipulators.”Crass manipulator? No two words better describe Mr. Trump. Unless, of course, you consider it classy when a leading presidential candidate, an unrepentant serial adulterer, personally attacks his political opponents as “stupid liars,” sleazily suggesting that their wives are ugly (Heidi Cruz is a lovely woman both inside and out), brags about the size of his manhood from the debate stage, or habitually and unapologetically verbally abuses women – somebody’s wives, mothers and daughters – by calling them “pigs,” “ugly,” “fat” or “great pieces of a–.”Trump recently boasted that he’s “such a good Christian.” … “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (James 4:4). (Barber M. Was ‘Trump 2016’ prophesied centuries ago? World News Daily, March 25, 2016. http://www.wnd.com/2016/03/was-trump-2016-prophesied-centuries-ago/#97BJVTsaulsjlIVz.99)

Well, certainly there is moral decline and corruption in the USA. And certainly Donald Trump has risen to be the choice for many, despite his own moral issues.

Many people recognize that something is terribly wrong with the direction of the USA. Yet, the answer is not Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton. The answer is national repentance, which is something neither of those candidates has spoken about.

The USA needs the Kingdom of God.
