No, Trump isn't cratering our economy. The entire Republican Party is cratering our economy. The enablers deserve just as much blame as Trump.

Every damned word of this 4-graf brief, except “By WSJ Staff,” should scare the bejeesus out of you this morning.

= WSJ Dollar Confidence Crisis Is Here, Deutsche Bank Warns By WSJ Staff The broad selloff in U.S. stocks and bonds, and the continuing decline in the dollar, represents a "simultaneous collapse in the price of all U.S. assets," analysts at Deutsche Bank said Wednesday. They warned that "unchartered territory" lies ahead. • Markets are dedollarizing, they said, citing the lack of evidence that investors are hoarding dollar liquidity- a dynamic that in previous market routs fueled Treasury and U.S. dollar rallies but this time is leading to declines in the prices of both. • The administration is encouraging the Treasury selloff, they said, in a bid to bring down U.S. asset valuations-a decision they said now is exposing the fact that "reducing bilateral trade imbalances is functionally equivalent to lowering demand for U.S. assets as well." • A financial war with China could lie ahead, they conclude, contending that "there is little room now left for an escalation on the trade front" and that "there can be no winner to such a war."

In any other administration, the president would already be huddled with advisors trying to stave off collapse

One of two things is happening.

They don’t understand what’s happening.

They want it to happen.

Pick your poison

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
