The stock market took a nosedive after President Trump refused to rule out a recession, with the S&P
dropping 9% in less than a month.
His unpredictable policies, including trade wars and mass government layoffs, are fueling uncertainty.
While the White House insists the economy will bounce back, experts warn that Trump’s chaotic approach could have
long-term consequences.
The House is set to vote on a bill to keep the government funded, but it’s a tight
race.
Hardline Republicans are backing the measure, while Democrats oppose it, citing cuts to social programs.
If the bill fails, a government shutdown could be imminent, adding to economic instability.
Trump’s rhetoric about expanding U.S.
influence echoes ancient Rome’s imperial ambitions.
He’s floated ideas of reclaiming territories like Panama and Greenland, invoking ‘Manifest Destiny.’ Critics argue this is a
dangerous throwback to colonialism, while supporters see it as a bold vision for American dominance.
Trump’s policies, from mass layoffs to immigration crackdowns, mirror the discriminatory policies of the 1920s.
Back then, economic fears led to restrictive immigration laws and eugenics programs.
Today, similar rhetoric is fueling division, raising concerns about history repeating itself.
