"SNIP.....

President Trump on Thursday predicted that if he loses his reelection bid in 2020 the economy will “go down on the tubes,” The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “Frankly if for some reason that happened in the 2020 election, you’ll see this economy go down the tubes. I will tell you that right now.”

with me.

Every single thing he does ruins this country.

we have got to figure out a decentralized, nation-wide deprogramming process for our friends and family who drank the koolaid.

To my uncle I say: what if you are wrong and the Russians control the president? There is so much evidence that they do and no evidence that I know of that they do not. What if they do control him, don't you want to test your assumption and save the country?

In case you've not noticed, as of right now you are standing in the middle of a rain storm and are telling us that "there's a chance of showers."

Ask American farmers if they think they should wait until 2020 to see how well they're getting by.

If Democrats sweep and win back the WH and Senate, be certain the wealthiest will now be paying one hell of a lot more toward their fair share in taxes. The raping and pillaging of America by the wealthiest will finally come to an end!

to be obscenely wealthier. The inevitable democratic tax hike on big money won't go into effect until 2021? So they get several years of massive tax give aways.

They know the giveaway can't last, but will have gotten theirs, and will make sure that when the crash happens, they will have made other arrangements for their $$$.

To make money, you have to HAVE money. The rich ALWAYS gets richer.

he only loves himself and his wallet. If he screws up, he blames someone or something else. He is playing games with our country and our lives like a true narcissistic sociopath would. He will bankrupt us, leave us without allies, and totally divided because HE REALLY DOESN'T CARE!...just like his wifey poo. He will destroy us if it means personal gain for him and not think twice about doing so.

He is the UN-American POTUS. He has zero love for this country and has been selling us to the highest bidder. Traitor! The worst and most corrupt POTUS the US has ever had.

An economic disaster because HE is a loser, which he is. In typical trump speaking fashion he admitted he's an economic disaster. He always claims the opposite of the truth when he's conning people. Just ask bankers, and farmers, and coal miners, and many others. We're heading into a recession because of him now, and he wants people to believe its others fault when its from him.

...our economy is so fragile that will it collapse without an incompetent president at the helm?

...that his 1% greed-sters will fuck us all up if they don't continue to get their way?

...or maybe he's just lying and trying to get re-elected?
