As the machine is shut down, we all get to see how sick the cattle prodded, beast of burden herd really is.

Sure, keeping the machine going will mask it all for a bit - as the herd is driven on to 'work' - even as they grow sicker and sicker. They toil on - medicated to the hilt and work away they go - until the end.

This is what Donald Trump wants to get back going - the machine - drive the beasts - the sickly beasts - back to the grindstone - inflate the bubble market once again. All is well. Bigly happy happy.

Except this is no longer possible. Mr. Trump is in for a very rude awakening...
