... to know that 2+2=4. That the logical progression of events, triggered by a stupid man's vindictive nature, has put us all in serious jeopardy, as articulated by the writer, is supported by what we see happening before our very eyes.
Our oil reserves are already depleted, much of our domestically produced oil gets sold overseas, and oil-producing countries with whom we once did business won't give us the time of day now, thanks to Trump's belligerent behavior, and his treasonous collusion with Vladimir Putin to destroy America from within isn't helping matters.
The skyrocketing cost of diesel fuel is driving the prices of everything into the stratosphere, and you can damn sure betcha that wages aren't going to rise at a rate commensurate with the rising cost of living, so consumers holding the shitty end of the stick are starting to panic, as well they should.
If you envision a different scenario, we'd love to hear it, but the way things are going at the moment, I think this writer has nailed it, and we should all start preparing for the inevitable economic downturn that will follow. Wait. Cross out "downturn", and make that "cataclysmic disaster", and I think we might be closer to the mark.
Trump is so self-absorbed that he will never entertain any possible solution to this existential crisis that he thinks "isn't a good look for him". He cannot, and will not, let himself be seen as losing. That's a bridge too far for him, no matter what happens as a result of his intransigence.
Divine intervention might pull our asses out of the fire, but I ain't holding my breath for that one.
Have a nice day.

EDIT TO ADD: Mr. Shyrock's original article is much longer, and far more detailed than the synopsis offered here. It is also supported by a multitude of sources who ARE authorities. Given what we know is happening right in front of us, despite this worthless administration's fire hose of lies, it is foolhardy to dismiss the article out of hand. A great many variables are up in the air at any given moment, but preparing for the worst, just in case, is not being Chicken Little, it's being sensible in the face of the very real possibility of economic catastrophe, and it's all because of the worst impulses of a narcissistic sociopath. Failure to include that loose cannon in your calculations is a potentially fatal error in judgement.
