If it meant 100% that Trump would lose the 2020 election, would you be okay with a major economic recession?

Question

What does this have to do with personal finance?

Amy · Answer

Recessions happen. The economy cannot just go "up" non-stop.

I absolutely would be okay with a recession starting now to correct the irrational enthusiasm of Trump's debt-funded economy, rather than letting the bubble get even bigger before it pops even more painfully. 
If the timing factors into Trump's electoral loss, great. But if we're already into recovery by November, that's good too.

Regardless of who is president a recession is coming. If Trump is the president everyone will blame it on him but and we will go to war with Iran. If someone else is president they will still blame Trump and then go to war with Iran. The Bankers can only manipulate the market so long before something gives just like in 2008.

Of course not.  Trump will be reelected in 2020 and will not be impeached.  Stop being stupid.

Of course not, even in the fantasy world where such a thing would be possible.

That said, business cycles are normal in the USA, and recessions are expected.  A recession will happen eventually, and the President can only soften the impact somewhat, not stop it.  If I was in the job market, a recession would have direct impact on me, but I'm not.  So I'm okay with a recession, but would not take one in trade for getting a particular candidate elected.

So, you're just fine with seeing your friends, neighbors and countrymen suffer, just to get rid of someone you don't like. Says a lot about you and it isn't good.
