PALM BEACH, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively on Thursday evening that if he does not win the 2024 presidential election, he expects the nation’s economy will spiral into a “depression” like the 1929 “Great Depression.”
Trump, who sat with Breitbart News for more than two hours on Thursday evening at his Mar-a-Lago resort, also said during the interview that recent stock market gains are happening because the polls show him leading Democrat President Joe Biden significantly and that people are betting on a Trump victory in November.
“I think if I don’t win, we’re going to have a depression like 1929,” Trump told Breitbart News. “I think the reason the stock market is up is because if you look at the polls, people say I’m going to win. Biden is getting lucky in that regard. I had a phenomenal stock market. Everything was good about our economy. We had no inflation.”
Trump is correct that the stock market is booming right now. According to CNBC, on Friday — the last trading day of 2023 — the market closed out the year by climbing for the ninth straight week, ending the month, quarter, and year with gains.
“Stocks fell slightly on Friday, but the S&P 500 closed out 2023 with a surprising gain of 24% as inflation slowed, the economy remained strong, and the Federal Reserve signaled an end to its rate-hiking campaign,” CNBC’s Samantha Subin wrote, continuing:
The S&P 500 rose for nine straight weeks to end the year, its best win streak since 2004. Big Tech stocks lifted the Nasdaq Composite to its best year since 2020 on AI enthusiasm. The broad index fell 0.28% to settle at 4,769.83, with a 24.2% gain for the year. The S&P 500 ends 2023 just short of...

Actually, there won’t be a US election in 2024. We (the world) will be in a war long before then, a war that makes WW2 look like a pillow fight. The aurhoritarians in power will ensure that ALL elections will be ‘temporarily postponed’ until said war is over.
Enjoy New Year’s Eve 2023 because future New Year’s Eves will NEVER be any better oe peaceful, at least until Yeshua’s return.
Nonsense .
….
Im challenging on your post.
You have no factual evidence to back up your words
Voting was not suspended for either WW.
No such thing is prophesied under conditions like this.
As this is in the future, neither do you have ‘factual evidence’.

Not completely sure about that.
People could be betting on a Biden victory and economic disaster.
An investor would have made money in the Weimar Republic stock market as the Mark became completely worthless, food costs rose to more than 90% of household budgets, and unemployment rose to 30-40%.
Thanks for posting. Interesting comments from President Trump.
They earned their greatest victory by first defunding hypervirilization in the US as too dangerous in 2014. Then trump gave them lockdowns, blank checks to big pharma, big medicine and a few monthly checks to Americans including non citizens.
To ensure they have permanent tyranny Trump signed in mail in ballots standing with fauci . His personal presidential nominee.
Trump is still stumping about the billions of lives he save globally with operation warp speed.
He had rational thinkers that were telling him not to do it, but he just couldn’t wait to be a savior.
He cancelled Easter 2020 for most.
No one would have worn masks, restricted their travel or any of the other BS if Obama were at the helm.
Our freedoms died under his presidency and we know he supports Disney groomers and me. In women’s restrooms
Not just no. To the destroyer of America.
Like 1929??? No way.
It’ll be significantly worse, making 29 pale in comparison. Population is far greater with fewer opportunities.
Yes, all purposeful and intentional.
Worst part is after America, it’ll throw the developed world AND the turd world into the same bucket.
Probably going to happen anyway.
The difference between Trump as president or not will be what the world will look like afterwards.
True.
Enough
(It’ll be significantly worse)
Oh definitely. But I have to express it in simplistic terms that the masses will comprehend.
Of course by the time they figure it out, it will be too late.
It’s already too late.
If Biden (or his replacement) wins, I believe that Depression Era-like conditions will exist for some Americans. Those Americans who actually work and pay taxes and who don’t subsist off the government dole. The ones whose situations will improve are illegals, welfare recipients and leftists in government or tightly connected with Government.
