Trump, has been extremely lucky and it scares me. He has been riding the coattails of the Obama economy for three years. I am getting sick of it. Trump has put back in place trickle down economics. He has added to the national debt big time. He has increased the wealth divide. He has de-regulated the entire economy. Government oversight has been gutted.
Trump has surrounded himself with corrupt people who are doing corrupt things. Some we don't even know about yet. I have no doubt something will go wrong with the economy and I want it to happen soon. The number one thing that protects Trump is the Obama economy which was strong, stable and Trump has claimed credit for all of it. That must end. The Obama economy must end.
The Trump voters will stick with Trump because they believe all his lies and the economic numbers are still good. When the economy takes a big hit, no lie can cover it up. The Trump voters would notice. That would make it impossible for Trump to win the election.
We need Trumps unbelievable evil good luck to run out. If it doesn't, he could win the election.

(16,616 posts)This is a controversial point of view. Nobody wants our economy to crater.
But my view is, This is definitely going to happen in the not too distant future. I'd much rather it happen on Trump's watch than our next Democratic president's watch.
Secondly, a crisis in our economy would increase the likelihood of beating Trump in November.

Orders for both started circling the bowl in autumn of last year, and predictions are that theyll remain in the turlet for the rest of the year. Theres a reason rumpco hasnt been able to boost the price of crude oil for Pootie-poor, and its gonna worse before the election.

(804 posts)that 45 is having the federal reserve board pump money into the economy to keep it where it is. If he wins a second term the bottom will drop out and we will see the extent of the deception. He also said that barring some major event, economic or political, he thinks the Orange Maggot will be reelected. I will do all I can to stop that. I live in a very blue state already, but am contributing to Democratic candidates in winnable districts.
