What could happen to America if Trump were to further, severely crash the U.S. economy the day after Joe Biden is announced as the winner of the 2020 presidential race?

As Trump tweeted on June 15, 2019, “if anyone but me takes over… there will be a Market Crash the likes of which has not been seen before!”

On July 6, 2020, he tweeted, “If you want your 401k’s and Stocks, which are getting close to an all time high (NASDAQ is already there), to disintegrate and disappear, vote for the Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats and Corrupt Joe Biden.”

And on July 27, 2020, he further tweeted that “if Sleepy Joe Biden, the puppet of the Left, ever won. Markets would crash and cities would burn. Our Country would suffer like never before.”

1. FUCK TRUMP

n/t

[John Fante]

2. Trump will be the lamest duck in history when he loses. Instant pariah.

I could legitimately see staff members resigning en masse before he leaves office, in a desperate attempt to get the Trump stench off their careers.

3. Let's see how much fun Stephen Miller has as a private citizen again.

Child-torturing piece of shit. 😡

20. Yeah... forced to walk the streets where people know what he has done--sans any USSS protection

I suspect the thought might, as a minimum, be a little disquieting. (and, no, I clearly am not supporting violence toward him or anyone else--no matter how deserving).

4. Didn't they buy a bunch of stocks to keep the market inflated artificially?

[Thekaspervote]

6. The fed has artificially inflated the market to the tune of........12T..yes, trillion

[BigmanPigman]

9. Oh, is that all?

[still_one]

5. If he tries that start impeachment process again in the lame duck session. That should tie up

the Senate and reduce possible damage he might do

[Thekaspervote]

7. Good idea!!

[still_one]

8. Not my original idea, but I think it could save us

[JI7]

10. He is already doing that

[Cha]

13. Only exponentially more so.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. The stock market is essentially irrelevant.

What will happen is a series of Executive Orders and possibly stuff passed by the Senate that undermines modern civilization as we know it.

We can only hope that Democrats will be in power for at least twenty years, analogous to FDR and Truman's terms, to undo the horrors that the Republicans have and will be inflicting on all of us.

12. trump has been punishing America on Putin's orders.. he

will try to finish us Off when Hopefully he gets his ass FIRED for Doing a FUCKED up job.

[SheltieLover]

17. +1,000!

Thx, Cha. You said it all!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. Maybe he would decide to finally have some "fun"...

... with the nuclear football?

[Vivienne235729]

15. he says all kinds of fantastic shit. And he can't stop his lying. Why would anyone

believe anything coming out of his mouth?!?!

[canetoad]

16. I see a conflict

In alternet's scenario.

Biden/Harris win. The markets will rally in anticipation.

DFT makes an idiotic threat of retribution. The markets crash.

Rinse and repeat.

[duforsure]

18. He has been pumping up the markets with our money in the treasury

So he could claim the economy is great from him, and will reverse that when he loses crashing the over inflated markets , claiming its because he wasn't re-elected. He wants us in a depression for putin, and to try to profit from it. Putin wants revenge for this country for destroying the Soviet Union.

[Buckeyeblue]

19. His biggest concern will be securing his pardon from president Pence

I could see Trump's concession speech being a big middle finger to the Democrats and ending with him resigning in disgust. Which is just a dramatic way of letting Pence be president so the pardon game can begin.

But wouldn't it be funny if Pence decided not to pardon Trump?
