Bill Maher Hopes for ‘Crashing Economy’ to Get Rid of Trump — ‘Bring on the Recession’(Full Title)

Friday on HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher admitted he was hoping for the American economy to falter because he said that was the one way to “get rid” of President Donald Trump.

Maher acknowledged the economy was good for now but said he felt like the bottom could “fall out at some point.”

“That’s my question — I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point, and by the way, I’m hoping for it because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy,” Maher said. “So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people but it’s either root for a recession, or you lose your democracy.”

‘The frickin NYT ‘ran out of words’ to describe how good the economy is.’

I see a number of sarcasm meters need tuneups here on FR...

Yes, but it was twisted into we wanted America to fail.

Maher went directly there.

Just noting the hypocrisy.

Funny, I’m happier with our democracy than I’ve been since April of 2009 what I got laid off. Four months after President Trump took. Office I left the realm at $11 an hour workers and got back into the world on engineering managers. TRUMP! TRUMP!! TRUMP!!!

Except the economy was NOT doing well in 2012.

At the risk of sounding Clintonian, it depends on the definition of the word "well."

Certainly, most breathing, rational humans recognize that the US' economic performance under Obama's Presidency vis-à-vis other post-recessionary situations was horrible:

Further, along other dimensions, life under Obama was pretty bad around the 2012 election:

Nonetheless (and please, don't take this as me applauding Obama), the economy and the stock market were growing vs contracting, unemployment was declining vs rising in 2012. Add having the media and entertainment industries in his pocket, and you get a re-election. However, as you pointed out, Obama won ONLY by about 350,000 votes.

Fast-forward to today...you are absolutely correct. The Trump Economic Train is unlike anything we've seen, people of all walks of life are doing better, and I don't think he'll lose re-election though we cannot take our foot off the gas: Deplorabilism must continue to grow in size and stature.

And Obama’s party had control of 20 million+ fraudulent votes and a complicit ‘news’ media...

Then suddenly things started to pick up once the Donald arrived but that was just a coincidence.

Oh, they don't think it was a coincidence. They think Obama cleverly timed it so that "his" economy would take off like a rocket "despite" Trump.

True but the longer it goes well the harder it is to make that argument. Each day Trump is President is like a dagger to their political heart.

To: I want the USA back

Leftards dont care, they knocked back the American economy 2 decades.

Leftists destroy so that they then “can rule in the ruins”.

One hopes they get everything they deserve.

The Globalist Left shows the true nature of their being. The Global Fascists are the same.

The Left still denies that the Nazi party was Socialist. Their heads explode if you mention it. There is no defense for them.

I agree. Not saying there was no movement. At the end of 8 years there should be SOME movement.
