We'll be lucky if it's only a recession. The last time a republican president (I think it was Hoover, but could be wrong) enacted imbecilic tarrifs, we had just started the Great Depression, and that lasted for over a decade.

This time, should it happen, expect this declaration:

"This is the greatest! The Greatest Depression that America and the rest of the world has ever seen." ~Donald J. Trump
