George Soros warns Trump of potential economic doom before election
cnbc ^ | 1/23/2020 | Thomas Franck

Liberal billionaire George Soros said Thursday that the U.S. economy could be headed for calamity as a result of President Donald Trump’s efforts to juice American business and stock prices ahead of the 2020 election.

“Trump’s economic team has managed to overheat an already buoyant economy,” Soros warned his guests at an informal dinner at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

“The stock market, already celebrating Trump’s military success, is breaking out to reach new heights,” he said. “But an overheated economy can’t be kept boiling for too long. If all this had happened closer to the elections, it would have assured his reelection.”

“His problem is that the elections are still 10 months away, and in a revolutionary situation, that is a lifetime,” Soros said.

Soros, an 89-year-old Democratic megadonor whose net worth peaks at more than $8 billion, delivered the remarks at the dinner held during the forum, an annual conference set in the Swiss Alps and known for featuring elite business and political leaders.

I still think this coronavirus and the oil market issue is globalist/deep state driven, and it would not surprise me if Soros was the “man behind the curtain”. Stuff like this is happening with regularity in US Presidential elections when Republicans are likely to go into the White House.

“Trump’s economic team has managed to overheat an already buoyant economy,”

Translation: "Trump is preventing me from tampering with and tanking the US economy"

And this is what COVID 19 is all about!!!!

A virus, apparently only really dangerous to elderly, or medically previously compromised patients, but instills the fear & panic of a truly deadly pandemic. It disrupts economies to a point where people lose faith in those running Administrations.

The second attempted coup of Trump, and/or other nationalist politicians around the globe???

Does that sound crazy, or possible?
Interesting that Soros would comment on this, but not unusual the unhinged uber progressive, bent on western democratic destruction would welcome this virus.

Excise the phrase “in the U.S.”

The dems have their last buggy man before the election. The virus. It is there, it is under your bed, in your closet or peering in your windows. No one can see it but it is there BECAUSE Trump did not take all measures to stop it. Cause and effect without any evidence about what anyone can do to stop a microbe beyond what is being done or even if the buggy man in this case is as serious threat to humanity as is being portrayed. All flames fanned by the enemedia.

Money. AND he gives it to Democrats. Plus, his goal in life is the destruction of the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America.

Soros knows those quotes are nonsense. He may be Dr. Evil but he understands economics and the market.

That is simply for consumption by the useful idiots.

This piece of crap is wanted around the world for tanking economies. Much misery is tied to this scum of a person. Wuhan is too good for him. Satan awaits you dirtbag. Hope the fire is extra hot!

Soros always says this just before he tries to make it happen.

Its his business model.

But he does have a point - what he says makes sense in a normal economy.

We are not in a normal economy. We are in an economy wherein much of our traditional manufacturing capacity has been deliberately and willfully shipped off shore to China by people short selling the American economy.

For them to do well, America has to do bad

It’s just as simple as that.

People are getting rich as Midas off of America’s decline while most other Americans get poorer and see their futures whither away. America is the Golden Goose they are milking and eventually are going to kill.

President Trump is reversing the hollowing out of the American manufacturing base. The short sellers who have put their money on the continue if this decline are furious that Trump is messing with their business model and they are trying to do him in.

Truth is, President Trump can generate an easy 3-4 % per annum economic growth well into his mythical third term just by steadily bringing back a fraction of the manufacturing that has been driven off shore.

How this unique economic growth opportunity is going to help the stock market is left to more qualified people than I, but it does provide historic levels of headroom for long term stock market growth if President Trump is able to execute his vision for American renewal
