"CNBC’s Jim Cramer warned two weeks ago that Donald Trump was 'manufacturing' a recession with his potential massive tariffs. As Cramer correctly explained, history books tell us that the massive tariffs imposed in 1930 known as 'Smoot Hawley' by GOP President Herbert Hoover 'was a direct cause of the of the Depression.'”

Brian Stelter points to an AP article in March drawing attention to these words of Trump last August:

"If Harris wins this election, the result will be a Kamala economic crash, a 1929-style depression. 1929. When I win the election, we will immediately begin a brand new Trump economic boom."

"Donald Trump’s decision on April 2 2025 to enact sweeping “reciprocal” tariffs on US trade partners will go down as one of the greatest acts of self-harm in American economic history. They will wreak untold damage on households, businesses and financial markets across the world, upending a global economic order that America benefited from and helped to create."
