Trump didn't just say he'd make money if economy collapsed, he said "I sort of hope that happens"

For clarification:

Donald Trump said he wanted to see a crash two years before the housing market collapsed, spurring the 2008 financial crisis, according to a new report.

"I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy," the billionaire businessman said in a 2006 audiobook from Trump University published by CNN. "People like me would go in and buy like crazy."

2. It's no secret

People like Donald helped fuel the crash.

Everything was wiped clean though.

As long as he could make a profit.

7. since 1979 the bubble economy lets a few get rich betting on crashes

unfortunately only Sanders can hit Trump on this: if Clinton tries he'll just come right back with every deregulatory pro-casino law they forced through and all of Clinton's stinky deals, which would be swept under the rug only against another aristo like Jeb or Mitt
