I wonder how many trillions of dollars the Trump dumpster fire will end up costing American business.

You'd think our corporate overlords would remove him.

The question is incomplete. They will cost trillions, but the presidency, the party fixing elections right now, will cost the country the dollar itself. They will max out borrowing, then print money to pay off the debt and de facto default. They will turn all of those dollars into very much less valuable things.

Presuming no one stops them.

I think you wanted to use past tense here.

Oh they will squeeze tens of trillions more out of the federal government before it fails. Every excuse they will borrow.
