No. Seriously. He said it. It is on video. He keeps predicting that the economy is failing and that it will crash as a result of the Biden administration's policies. He believes that Americans losing money in investments, 401(k)s, pensions, etc. will make Biden look bad and help his chances for re-election. And MAGA cult members think that Trump cares about them and is going to somehow "save America"?!?!?!?! It truly boggles the mind how dumb these people are. . . and how awful Trump is.

I´m so sorry and worried than your country cannot get a decent candidate. I also worry that Biden IS old and that Republicans are using that. Why is it that is such a big country there aren´t more appropriate politicians?

Trump's stock market rose by 56%. Biden's has only risen by 21%. Median income rose during Trump. It has fallen under Biden. Poverty rates fell under Trump. It has risen under Biden. Inflation has busted through the roof with levels not seen since Carter. Mortgage interest rates have quadrupled. Credit card debt is at an all time high, and has reached these levels with non-discretionary spending being the primary thing fueling the increase in debt. Trump's economy did better than Obama's by a LOT and it appeared as though we would have seen similar economic impacts like we did after JFK and Reagan. But Biden killed it. Not only did he kill it, he sent it into a free fall from which he have yet to emerge.

If only Democrats would present a better candidate, Trump is dangerous and Biden too old.

@MarieCoyle Trump is old but at least under 80. I remember when Ronald Reagan was considered "too old" when he run for a second term. I agree that you need better candidates.

Trump is old, too. I am of the opinion we need better candidates.

@LadyDuck The candidates need to be old enough to bear the responsibility and do the job, and young enough that their bodies and minds function well. Trump says Biden is too old. Well, he is old at 81. And Trump is 77, if he were elected again, he would be 82 at the end of 4 years, so...

Stupid is as stupid does. And anyone who thinks Trump is good when he is bad for our country. Is stupid.

@NJChicaa The more nonsense he talks the less likely he will be elected ….. but maybe not. Doesn’t he see that if the economy crashes he’ll be a major loser? Oh why waste time?!

My response? SO FLIPPING WHAT IF HE SAID IT??? He has been called a Nazi by the Democrat party and they say he wants to be a dictator. Choose your outrage as you wish, but what the Democrats said is FAR WORSE and far more careless an accusation. As for Biden's economic policies in general? If they remain the economy WILL collapse.

@NJChicaa No he DID NOT. And you KNOW he didn't. He made a joke responding to a question he was asked by Sean Hannity and said, "I will be a dictator on day one only." He then clarified and said, "I want to close the border and drill, drill, drill. Then I won't be a dictator." That is NOT saying, "I want to be a dictator." Shut off CNN and try to observe the world and the truth through something other than a deranged prism.
