Former President Trump said in an interview that aired Monday that he predicts the U.S. economy will crash and that he hopes it does so within the next year.

In the interview with Lou Dobbs, Trump, the current front-runner in the GOP presidential primary race, explained that, if he were elected again, he would not want to serve a term similar to President Hoover’s — who took office when the economy was stable but later oversaw the start of the Great Depression.

Trump railed against the economy but conceded that there were some good aspects of it and took credit for those successes.

“We have an economy that’s so fragile, and the only reason it’s running now is it’s running off the fumes of what we did,” Trump said. “It’s just running off the fumes.”

Trump added: “And when there’s a crash — I hope it’s going to be during this next 12 months because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover. The one president I just don’t want to be, Herbert Hoover.”

If you have anything invested in the stock market, such as a 401(k), you'll cast your vote for Biden & not this evil jerk.

If the economy crashes Trump will still be fat and happy and golfing... He don't give a damn about the working people.. He never has...

He cares only for himself. The consistent 'He's with us' by his supporters is perhaps the biggest political cognitive dissonance in American political history.

He is saying that if a crash happens, he hopes he isnt president. I think every president/candidate would say the same thing

 

[SenorXm/Sirius]

He is saying that if a crash happens, he hopes he isnt president. I think every president/candidate would say the same thing

He didn't say 'if'...

 

[Ishm]

He is saying that if a crash happens, he hopes he isnt president. I think every president/candidate would say the same thing

I think that is a rather 'generous' interpretation of a guy saying that he hopes the economy crashes before the election. The same guy who expects that an economic crash would see him win the election.

trump hates the US economy and is anti-American.

Great to have Trumpists on hand to tell us what he really meant to say.

 

[Grand Mal]

He didn't say 'if'...

Just watch. The Republican Party is going to do anything they can to trigger a recession before autumn. They need one.

 

[Integrityrespec]

Not at all what he said. He said if it crashes he doesn't want it to be under his Presidency so if it is going to happen he hopes it will be before the election. He doesn't what to be Herbert Hoover.
At least get it correct.

The Republicans don't have to do anything, Biden has done plenty.

 

[Helix]

He's telling the truth about wanting workers to suffer for his political advantage. Multiple Republicans on this site have admitted to me that they want a recession.

 

[Grand Mal]

Bullshit.
Biden hasn't done anything and that has allowed the economy to heal nicely.

 

[iguanaman]

I think that is a rather 'generous' interpretation of a guy saying that he hopes the economy crashes before the election. The same guy who expects that an economic crash would see him win the election.

He isn't just hoping either. He as his agents in the House actively lobbying for a Govt. shutdown that will cost billions in economic activity. They are also refusing to vote on aid to Ukraine because they want Putin to help Trump in the election again.

 

[iguanaman]

The Republicans don't have to do anything, Biden has done plenty.

So the MAGA run House doesn't need to shut down the Govt. and refuse to vote on aid to Ukraine? I think they do because that is what Trump is ordering them to do.

 

[Grand Mal]

Not at all what he said. He said if it crashes he doesn't want it to be under his Presidency so if it is going to happen he hopes it will be before the election. He doesn't what to be Herbert Hoover.
At least get it correct.

Bullshit. He never said 'if', he said there will be a crash and he hopes it happens this year.
You guys picked that up from your Dear Leader, didn't you, thinking that whatever you say becomes the truth as soon as you say it.

 

[Integrityrespec]

Bullshit.
Biden hasn't done anything and that has allowed the economy to heal nicely.

Have you been to a grocery store, a gas station, tried to purchase a home or auto lately? Heal my a--! The economy overall is in a mess.

Since nobody seems to have a video. Here's from CNN. “When there’s a crash, I hope it’s going to be during this next 12 months because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover. The one president – I just don’t want to be Herbert Hoover,” Trump said in an interview that aired Monday on the right-wing platform Lindell TV.
So lets be honest. He didn't say he wanted a crash, he's predicting that one will happen, (so is Jamie Dimon, ceo of Chase bank) and when it does he hopes it's before he takes office if he wins the election in November because he doesn't want to be another Herbert Hoover, (the great depression).
So while you are correct he didn't say if, he clearly isn't wishing for one to happen, he's hoping the crash he believes is going to happen happens before he takes office. I know a fine line but just as fine as left wing claims he wants one to happen.

So you're pretty sure Republicans aren't rooting for a recession this year, pre-election? Cuz I'm pretty sure many, most maybe, are. A recession, two quarters of no growth, would sure help defeat Biden, wouldn't it.

Its actually amazing the number of things that have to be spelled out to the unthinking left.

Well, we don't have a Trumpspeak translator in our devices. Rightists, of course, don't need one- they've got it hardwired in their cerebellums. Cerebella? Whatever.
Honestly, if I had a buck for every time Trump said something stupid and Trumpanzees here immediately chimed in with, "What he meant to say is...", well, I'd have a fistfull of dollars. Sometimes they can't spin it so they fall back on 'trolling the libs' and sometimes, when not even that threadbare fallback can work, they say that the most humourless man anyone has ever seen in politics was 'joking'.

You dont need a special device to translate when your own brain should work just fine. Still, most things have to be spoon fed to the left for some reason anyway.

BORRRR-ing.

 

[Geoist]

'I don't want to be Herbert Hoover.'

Hoover made the depression worse with bad economic policies. Hilarious to hear Trump accidentally admit his own policies would be bad for America.

 

[Fletch]

BORRRR-ing.

Trump said he believed Bidens policies were going to cause a crash and that he hoped it would happen before he took office. For some reason you needed that explained to you. Well, Im happy to help
