Trump warns of 'market crash' if he loses in 2020

Trump asserted on Saturday there would be dire economic consequences should he lose the 2020 presidential race, leaning into his reelection slogan "Keep America Great."

“The Trump Economy is setting records, and has a long way up to go....However, if anyone but me takes over in 2020 (I know the competition very well), there will be a Market Crash the likes of which has not been seen before! KEEP AMERICA GREAT,” he tweeted.

Trump has leveraged a strong economy to help boost him in the 2020 race, though polling shows him trailing former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and other Democrats in a handful of crucial swing states.

Several Democratic contenders have put forth plans to reduce income inequality and say that other platforms will be paid for in part by revoking Trump’s tax cut plan that was passed in 2017.

The market has largely been a roller coaster ride since the Trump tax cuts were passed early last year.

They'll do what they always do-manipulate, sell off and hide their ill gotten gains in offshore bank accounts. Trump is their safety net even if they hate him personally.

Is there even a ceiling to his debt? Dems vote for increases just to keep the economy afloat. At some point those countries lending us money are going to realize the same thing that Donny's banks realized: he isn't good for loans.
