That is almost exactly what Trump said at the rally Thursday.

If a dem is elected, taxes shoot up again, the government takes over the health sector, Whitey gets to pay for reparations, jail terms start for anyone who uses the “wrong” pronouns, White lives don’t matter, cops lives don’t matter, money flows to iran again, hordes of muzzies stream into the country.

A problem is, half the country is so dumbed-down that in a recession, they would vote for the socialists who would ban half the economy and impose Soviet-style central planning on the other half. When that fails, the Democrats will double-down on identity politics and incite mob violence against scapegoats. It’s what communists do.

“President Donald Trump is warning of an economic crash if he loses reelection, arguing that even voters who personally dislike him should base their ballots on the nation’s strong growth and low unemployment rate”

_____________

Trump should talk now about how the leftist fascists are going to try to crash the economy BEFORE the election to derail the election. He should discuss how much these leftists hate the citizens of the country to the point that they are willing to harm them, their homes and jobs in order to win.

He needs to get in front of that NOW.

Hell at least 2 leftist talking heads have already said that they are behind an economic crash to gain their power back.

Do not let that opportunity go to waste.

I believe even if there WERE a recession the Republican voters and those others who favor Pres Trump will blame the ‘Fed,’ as well as crazy Democrats/Rinos/Uneducated/Ignorant policy makers.

Recession or not, I will vote for Pres Trump.

May the Lord God grant me the privilege of being alive as well as Pres Trump.

Amen.

It is how leftists operate.

But, there is a certain logical consistency. All of the things you’ve mentioned are a form of immediate dis-saving, although they soon lead to shortages.

For example, when Venezuela decided that big-screen TVs and consumer electronics were too expensive, they decreed that they had to be sold at below-cost prices. Some people got TVs that week, but no one did afterward.

Or, if you whip up the masses and loot the rich, you get a temporary shot of economic activity, but then that capital is gone. This is what I mean when I use the tagline, “It’s always a party when you’re eating the seed corn.”

Leftists always promote short term looting as if its a long-term economic improvement in their march to consolidate power.

There is plenty to worry about.

Most supplied by the ‘rats.

I think Trump is on his game and will continue to smack the left down,

Sounds more like the corrupt fed doing what it does best. Just like the bank run of 07, to crash our economy.
They despise a strong American when families are enjoying things.
And my guess is, they are flexing their global muscles. More money and control for them when we suffer.
And the 07 run happened in September.

This is SO hilarious (and irritating!). The "news" media were all over Bush in 2000 when they accused him of trying to "talk down the economy", as in how dare he!

Now? They think it's OK to try and scare people - it's for the good of the country! Pffttt - see tagline...

And then on to the next crisis to blame on Trump. The Left never gets creative.

This one can safely be classified as satire.

I think these market gyrations are just a dry run. IMHO, the real event will occur in about a year, coordinated with a major social media purge of anyone who has anything good to say about DJT.

“If a dem is elected”

They are threatening to pack the SC - 6 new 100% compliant justices who will decree whatever they cannot pass lawfully.

“The Left never gets creative.”

It worked in 2008. They are going with the tried and true.

No one, NO ONE can “talk” an economy into a recession. It is too ludicrous to even think about.
