President Biden’s reelection campaign bashed former President Trump on Tuesday after he said he hoped the U.S. economy would crash in the next 12 months, arguing he doesn’t care about people.
“Donald Trump should just say he doesn’t give a damn about people, because that’s exactly what he’s telling the American people when he says he hopes the economy crashes. In his relentless pursuit of power and retribution, Donald Trump is rooting for a reality where millions of Americans lose their jobs and live with the crushing anxiety of figuring out how to afford basic needs,” campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez said.
Trump, in an interview with former Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs on a network launched by MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, called the economy “fragile” and said he is hoping for a crash within the year.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In his relentless pursuit of power and retribution, Donald Trump is rooting for a reality where millions of Americans lose their jobs and live with the crushing anxiety of figuring out how to afford basic needs,” campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez said.
“And when there’s a crash — I hope it’s going to be during this next 12 months because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover,” Trump said in the interview that aired Monday night.
Former President Hoover had been in office for just a few months when the stock market crashed in 1929, triggering the Great Depression.
Other Biden aides also bashed the comments, saying they were vile and that those who were hoping the economy failed were “revealing twisted true colors.”
Biden has hit the campaign trail with the message that his economic plan is working, arguing that the decline in inflation and low unemployment are proof of its success.
However, his economic agenda, dubbed Bidenomics, has largely fallen flat with voters, who according to polls do not give Biden credit for the improving economy.
