I'm Desi Lydic. We've got so much to talk about tonight. America imports a beef with China. People are getting frisky with statues. And Fox News sees the stock market and goes, hey, look over there. So let's kick things off with another installment of Trade Wars.

I'm not an economist, but it's probably a bad sign when the chart itself looks like it jumped off the roof. Look at that drop. Six Flags is going to make a roller coaster of that. Mom, I want to ride the Dow Jones. We can't afford it. So the economy is incredibly unstable right now. The only upside is that this crash is much easier to understand than the 2008 one.

Okay, this is getting really serious. We'll know exactly how serious once we ask China to do the math for us, but... Point is, Trump is out of control right now. I'd say he's like a bull in a china shop, but at 104%, I can't afford to say that. It's really starting to feel like the entire world is teetering on the brink of chaos.
