Yes he would - be a disaster. And yes, it has been 50 years, or so it seems.
And a real nobody who thinks he’s a somebody. And a great big bore. And now I’m aggravated.

Wrong.
What do we do: Cut Taxes.
What do we do: Cut them some more.
(For success of this, see Brownback, Jindal, et al. Unpublished paper in the Trump Library at Trump University.)

What complete joke.
Larry the Wall Street giant bank cheerleader.
Boy did Trump con his supporters about Goldman Sachs and the big banks - a sadistic liar is about to occupy the White House.
We won’t survive Trump’s Financial System collapse. We’re still recovering from the Bush collapse - the middle class still isn’t getting interest on their savings accounts.
Trump…already worse than baby Bush!

A good addition to Trumps Sh*t-Show:
From Wikipedia:
A self-described, “Reagan supply-sider”, Kudlow opposes estate taxes, as well as taxes on dividends and capital gains. He also advocates that employees be compelled to make greater contributions to their pension and medical costs, suggesting that these expenses are an undue burden on businesses and defends high executive compensation as a manifestation of market forces and opposes most forms of government regulation. In general, he describes himself as a supply-side economist, arguing that reducing tax rates will encourage economic growth and ultimately increase tax revenue.

Judging by Trump’s picks, he is a far-Right Conservative’s wet dream. Apparently, Romney was wrong. Its Kansas on steroids.

All his knowledge is from watching TV. There is no reading, no attempt to gain real understanding of the world. Staff are chosen because he likes them on camera. It’s like a five year old choosing playmates. “Mommy I want SpongeBob and Superman to come to my party!”

“…chief economist for Bear Sterns…”
The Wall Street investment bank whose 2008 collapse triggered the Global Recession?
Clearly, Dems lost because they were clueless about the economic anxieties of working-class Americans.
(Memo to Mr. Shuham: It’s spelled Bear “Stearns”.)

He has the added quality of being factually and provably wrong on just about any economic prediction he’s ever made. Trumpeliciously appropriate.

Hey kids! After Mom and Dad go to sleep tonight, tiptoe into their bedroom and remove those “funny green pieces of paper with pictures of U.S. Presidents” from their wallets and “put them in an envelope and mail them to me Chiselin’ Trump.”

I am not a big fan of Cramer’s style, so I haven’t watched for years, but he did call the 2008 crash. A few weeks before the big drop started, he said, if your financial situation allows it, put five years of spending money in cash or equivalent. And in his book he does point that by “Mad Money”, he means money you can afford to loose - which is nice, since if you follow his advice there is a good chance you will loose it. As for Kudlow: it was either Krugman or Brad DeLong [or both] who have pointed out that for making bad predictions, you can’t get much worse than Kudlow.

Why not just cut to the chase and get Arthur Laffer back on for a 2nd crack at proving his theory works. We all remember how well he did when he was on Reagan’s Economic Policy Advisory Board.

There’s got to be a money making opportunity here somewhere. But I don’t see any. I look up and all I see is a grand piano about to land on my head faster than I can say, ‘ah shit’.

Every. Freaking. Day.
More disasters than our media and political institutions can deal with.
Trump campaigned on chaos, and he’s going to govern by chaos.
The transition has been like those chain-reaction 50-vehicle pileups on snowy freeways last week. If you’re lucky, your car is totaled but you can get up and walk away. Except in Trumpland, it never ends.
God help us all.
