That’s not why I voted for Trump.
Agree. But you also probably know that the left doesn’t want the economy to tank only to hurt Trump. They want punish his supporters. If some are damaged on their side that will be okay. Collateral damage.
Obama won on the sh*tty economy crisis hoax with a great deal of help from McCain. Trying to crash the economy and dispiriting Americans is sick.
These elitist a-holes know they will be fine if the economy takes a downturn. They will still have jobs because of cable bundling. They are insulated. So they can gleefully pronounce crap like this, and America be damned. Hate Trump and conservatives “trumps” all.
