Also depending on how bad the whole situation could get it could legit implode the federal government as a whole. I really don’t see the feds under Trump doing even the bare minimum that was Hoovers anti-depression policy which while the absolute minimum was enough to keep the states from effectively becoming completely autonomous, and even then California, Louisiana, and the Alaska territory were effectively independent in a lot of ways.
Yeah, all manner of otherwise unthinkable outcomes are possible with that mix of an Economic shit-storm due to the USD losing its Reserve Currency status and rule by an ultra-Cronyist Loyalty-above-all extremely incompetent Administration.
It’s like a kindergarten: if there’s a fire and the teacher is in, it will get sorted out (or at least nobody is likely to be hurt), if the teacher has stepped out of the room so there’s only 3-year-olds “in charge” but there’s no fire, it would be ok, but if the teacher has stepped out of the room so there’s only 3-year-olds “in charge” and there’s a fire, the outcome is almost certainly going to be very very bad.
Some kind of ultra nasty outcome is highly likely, though I wouldn’t bet on which specific ultra nasty outcome will be the one that happens.
