I was recently sent a message by show economist Arash Kolahi about a blog I should read. It was Dr. Jack Rasmus' blog where he lays out what could happen if the current Trump administration tries to circumvent democracy and have a coup to take power into not just one more term, but many more! I asked Arash, if he could hook up Dr. Rasmus to come on the show. Dr. Rasmus obliged, and I'm glad we could have him on.
A little about Dr. Rasmus:
