During a recent interview on CBS News' '60 Minutes,' CNBC co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin expressed grave concerns about the current state of the U.S. economy, predicting that a market crash is 'coming.' He noted that many top CEOs are 'very scared' to voice their opinions against President Donald Trump, fearing retaliation from the administration or negative impacts on their businesses, such as regulatory scrutiny over mergers. Sorkin explained that this fear inhibits open dialogue about economic issues. He acknowledged that while some economists believe Trump will protect the market to avoid a repeat of the 1929 Great Depression, he remains skeptical. 'When confidence disappears, it happens like this,' he stated, suggesting that the loss of trust could lead to a rapid economic downturn. Sorkin, who authored '1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History,' reiterated his belief that a crash is inevitable, though he could not predict its timing or depth. His comments reflect a growing anxiety among business leaders regarding the political climate and its potential repercussions on the economy.
