It usually takes about a year or a year and a half for the economy to head downward...

...when Republicans inherit good economies from Democratic Presidents.

It is doubtful that this Trump economy will be any different.

By summer or fall of 2018, we should not be surprised to see the unemployment rate start to climb upwards. We may see a spike in inflation and prices of products that hurt the poor and middle class, such as food and gasoline.

The deficits will go up dramatically, as they always do.

Then, we can expect the same argument from Republicans that we always get: we are spending too much and need to cut the huge government programs.

The past is prologue.

1. I agree and have moved some of my 401K into

a gold backed IRA. Hope this was a good move. The last time the stock market was this high under Bush it took a nose dive and I was invested in gold. It was the smartest thing I ever did. The current market feels ready to take another Republican nose dive again.

2. I expect a currency crisis.

The Treasury will have problems selling this much paper.
