In general I’d agree

But with Trump the relationship between one phrase and the phrases immediately before and after are often obscure. I’m not sure that length gives context.

My impression is that he was predicting some type of economic doom, then, as an aside, said that this would be the least of it compared with the more general blood bath which would accompany it.
