You forget 2008. A wiser administration could have taken steps to rein in the worst of the damages. And it spread like the plague all over the globe, not only ruining lives in the States but also in other parts of the world. I have no doubt that Trump could be reined in by Congress. If they are willing to do so in the first place. But it's not an assembly of the brightest minds we're speaking of.
Also. the sheer fact of Trump being president, would hit the global financial market like a nuclear device. Every shred of trust in the American economy would be lost. Even more so since Trump himself bragged about being the master of debt. It doesn't matter if he actually has the means to influence the economy in a negative way. The fact that there's someone bragging about not paying back what he owes at the helm of the largest economy is totally sufficient to have a negative impact.
Well if when the economy goes to shit again, don't blame me, I voted for Bernie Sanders. In fact, his talk about breaking the Wall Street banksters is exactly why I voted for him.
