"SNIP......

Almost half of those who voted for Donald Trump would blame him if the US economy goes into a recession, according to a new poll that comes as worrying signs have emerged showing that to be a possibility.

The poll, by Morning Consult, found that among those who said they voted for Mr Trump in 2016, 42 per cent would find him at least partially responsible if there is another recession.

Another 7 per cent would say he would bear sole responsibility for an economic downturn.

The poll will be a worrying development for Mr Trump, who has spent much of the past week downplaying the likelihood of a recession and bragging about the economy he has made a point of taking credit for - and which is thought to represent the best argument for re-electing him next year.

1. 3 2 1 the ceos suddenly spend like crazy.

6. I doubt it. Those assholes spend nothing without a certain return.

That is one of the big things wrong with modern capitalism, the inability to envision a future and the courage to allocate resources to getting there during times of uncertainty.

In short, CEOs will cancel projects and fire workers if it looks like the nation is heading into recession, there is nothing bold about those bandwagon riders.

to avoid wee weeing up ourselves with laughter when said supporters turn on him.
I can't freaking wait. I'm waiting for the small farmers.

7. They will blame him for a recession and still vote for him.

Because they hate brown people at the southern border and love Jesus more than they do paying the Mortage and eating. My red county is an example, it was decimated by Bush's near depression, but it voted against President Obama twice and for Trump, even after the Obama Administration policies saved the damned place.

3. Fixed the Title. Only half of Trump voters would blame him for a recession, new poll says.

That's the real title that we should be aware of.
Insanity.

Pay attention to Trump when he says the economy is going down the drain if he is not reelected.

He is telling us what shape he will leave the country in.

Despite his excuses, Trump gets full credit for any bad in the economy just as he takes full credit for any good in the economy.

8. They will spin any recession news as sunshine and roses. Their base simply won't believe it's bad.

Or even real.

9. Who TF else is there to blame? And by now, you'd think Americans would learn the pattern.

Every time a GOP clown goes to the White House, the economy collapses.
