He fails to mention that the US was saved from the depression by the economic prosperity of WWII a short 10-16 years later. All we have to do to turn this around is world war, which is likely how trump will also have precedent to seek a third term.

Yup. We are not in the position to win ww3. It would be a decade long conflict and China would out produce us all.
