And a Donald Trump victory makes it fit in nicely: He slams the door on immigration - and deports a couple of million illegals who are already here - and the boom of 1926 is replicated, with super-low unemployment; then, after the crash, since now it is an established fact and not mere theory that we can "war" our way out of a depression, we find a convenient pretext for starting a war against whatever enemy is "handy" at that point, possibly as soon as March 2020. That war continues until mid-2025, its end also ending the 4T.
Well we had a war in 1917-1918 and that did not "war us out" of the problem that eventually caused the Great Depression. It was not the war per se that gave us the widely-shared post-war prosperity, but what the New Dealers did that the Wilson crew did not do, that made the difference.
