i hate donald trump, but i think i hate clickbait headlines which distort what was being said even more. it's a problem that i don't see an end to.
It's still 80% accurate. He's still saying he hopes for a collapse for the sake of his legacy to somehow prove himself a hero and preserve a legacy.
he's saying that there will be a collapse and that it won't be his fault and that he hopes it happens before he becomes president because it would make him look bad. I think he's obviously full of shit, but the headlines should at least not misrepresent what he's saying. it's bad journalism and it's harmful. it's fuel for Trump supporters who want to think that the other side are idiots and that the news is corrupt.
Well said, Mr. Nutsack.
thank you steven
80% is pretty generous considering nowhere in the quote does he wants a crash, he's just predicting one and hopes the timing is good for his legacy.
And considering the title is claiming he is saying he "wants" it to crash, it's categorically false.
Trump is trash, but we shouldn't be defending trash headlines like this.
indeed the orange landlord said a normal thing
Thank you. I came here to say the same thing. He isn't saying "I want the economy to crash" he's saying "the economy is going to crash and I hope it happens before I become President again because it would be nice if Biden looked bad instead of me".
He's an asshole and a grifter. If truly believes that an economic crash is inevitable, though, I can fully understand why he would hope that it will crash during the current term rather than the next term.
