Trump Says He’s Hoping The US Economy Will ‘Crash’ Before The November Election

Proving for the ten millionth time that he cares only about himself and the rest of us are irrelevant to him, failed former president Donald Trump said Monday evening that he’s hoping the American economy will “crash” in the next 12 months.

Speaking with Lou Dobbs on Lindell TV — a platform owned by disgraced pillow pusher Mike Lindell — Trump had this to say:

“We have an economy that’s so fragile, and the only reason it’s running now is it’s running off the fumes of what we did. It’s just running off the fumes.”

He added: “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. The one president I just don’t want to be, Herbert Hoover.”

The multiply-indicted ex-president’s comment drew a strong reaction on social media.

Lauren Boebert Tried To Zing Joe Biden On Inflation – It Did Not Go Well For Her

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has been a member of the House of Representatives for almost a year now, and yet she hasn’t accomplished a damn thing other than a few snarky tweets, a lot of posturing, and the occasional attempt at pretending she should be taken seriously.

Such is the case with a tweet Boebert (a.k.a. Bobo) sent out on the topic of inflation, which is indeed on the rise, due in large part to the pent up demand of consumers who stayed home for over a year during the worst of the COVID pandemic and are now on a spending spree. Increased demand leads to a rise in prices. It’s the basics of economics: Supply and demand.

But rather than provide any solutions, Boebert fired off this brainless post:

So Bobo is worried about the troops? Then why doesn’t she propose legislation that would raise their salaries? Because that would require her to do some work, and all she really wants to do is whine and try to score political points.

Boebert also neglected to mention that the Biden administration has done something to help every American family with children in the form of the expanded child tax credit, which is providing $250 to $300 per child for working parents across the country. Would Boebert be in favor of extending that tax break? Hardly! Her party has been the one fighting to do away with the child tax credit since it went into place.

The congresswoman was quickly swatted down on social media:
