So what did Trump actually say on Monday? Strictly speaking, he didn’t call for a crash, he predicted one, positing that the economy is running on “fumes” — and that he hopes the inevitable crash will happen this year, “because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover.”

If you think about it, this isn’t at all what a man who believes himself to be a brilliant economic manager and supposedly cares about the nation’s welfare should say. What he should have said instead is something like this: My opponent’s policies have set us on the path to disaster, but I hope the disaster doesn’t come until I’m in office — because I don’t want the American people to suffer unnecessarily, and, because I’m a very stable genius, I alone can fix it.

The pathological narcissist can think of nothing but himself. He would gladly hurt millions of his fellow citizens to get his way. He's a perfect example of the 'banality of evil'.

...when did Trump start predicting economic disaster under President Biden? The answer is before the 2020 election. In October 2020, for example, he asserted that a Biden win would “unleash an economic disaster of epic proportions.”

If he could/can somehow engineer economic disaster during the lead up to the election, you KNOW HE WOULD.

So do you.

Milestone deaths of Americans be it soldiers during Iraq.

Or deaths during Covid. (Pre vaccine Covid. NOT al the deaths post-Trump-Vaccine-That-Biden-Has-yet-people-croak)

And that's ok that you want bad things to happen.

Certainly I do too.

And I'm ELATED at so many current trends and happenings.

Me and you, no matter how they toss the dice......so happy, together !
