'Time is running out': Ex-Trump official gives grim prediction of 'unnecessary recession'

If Donald Trump isn't careful, he's going to open up the United States to an "unnecessary recession" very soon, according to a former Trump official.

Trump thinks he has a handle on the trade wars the U.S. is fighting, but things will turn quickly, according to his previous white house communications chief.

Anthony Scaramucci, who previously said Trump was a grifter who "really wants to hurt people," appeared on CNN to discuss the president's ongoing efforts.

Scaramucci hinted at the stock market's clues before saying, "Time is running out."

"The supply chain and the ships at port are going to dry up with non-tariff goods and it'll cause an unnecessary recession by the third or fourth quarter of this year," he predicted Saturday.
