Prediction: We will enter a recession in early 2020 and Trump won't run for a second term

Trump will declare he has made America great again and bail out, not giving America the chance to correct the worst decision it has ever made. If he doesn't drop out, he will likely be up to something very sinister because if the economy goes south during an election year and his approval drops to the low 30's or 20's he probably is crazy enough to pull just about anything no matter how evil. But if the scandals keep mounting and the economy turns against him, it could get very bleek for him before all is said and done. In the meantime, I just hope America will survive the next two years.

We are on the cusp of it now. drumpf and his billionaire cabinet and donors are ready to buy up everything for nothing when it happens. Mission accomplished!

And he's running these rally's only for his own cash maker for his legal fee's and helping him stay afloat. I doubt he has any intentions of running again other than to keep the campaign scam going as long as he can to generate cash for himself.

First key indicated item,housing is falling off a cliff in some major Metros. Loan Apps took a poop two weeks ago and are still into recession mode. Verizon and Ford are in the process of cutting 80k plus jobs between them. And these jobs pay checks turn seven fold on main street.

Had a dead cat bounce on Thursday only to return to sell off on Friday.

Rising Gas Prices in a glutted Oil Market tells you,get when you can cause the crap is about to hit the fan.

Is that what you are seeing or is there any other indicators in housing market. I am really holding off buying to see if the market drops some. Right now, incredibly inflated in my area.

loaded with debt and can not qualify or they can not pull off the PITI on a monthly basis. Mortgage apps just do not drop unless there is a underlying reason. Consumers are not confident at this time to take on any new debt like a Mortgage will out the possibility of more money in the pay check.

Mortgage money is dirt cheap,when we go beyond 8%,then we get into the ugly. Have a neighbor who sells new construction ,very little interest,and those who show,have to sell what they have in order to qualify for anything as a up grade. Yes some stuff is selling only at a discount to what the sales price should be.

Any fool can give it away,it takes a Sales Person to sell it at what the true value is.

In my area,we are still seeing Cash Sales but those are slowing as the Cali Migration slows.

or be driven from office. He will simply declare his term to be the greatest in presidential history and that he accomplished more than any president ever has but that there is a massive conspiracy against him and so he will not run.
That's too bad because a victory against Trump would be more of a sure bet than having a more traditional mainstream Republican as the candidate, one who would pick up a lot of GOP votes that might not have gone to Trump again.

And we don't know how that's going to drop and what he will do to escape that.

He would not hesitate to get himself a little war going.

You can't take trillions out of the economy , give it to the wealthy , robbing from the rest of us , and expect the economy to stay the same. We saw during W's reign of terror how that their reverse robin hood tactics work only for the wealthy , not us, and the economy tanks.
