What are the chances of a recession/depression under trump?

[IIowaFarmBoy]

What will cause a depression lots of dumb comments

Funniest is calling Clinton conservative.

A Depression would be caused by.

Fed decisions

Continued consolidation of wealth

Aging Demographics in conjunction with policy encouraging lack of family growth

Way too strong US dollar

Wild inflation followed by collapse

Other having little to do with who is president

AI could be our way out or way in

Biggest issue is the amount of artificial stimulus over 15 years

2 or 4 times zero is still zero

 

[Hans81]

Oh so you say presidents and their administrations have no control over when recessions happen. I dispute that but I also have to ask then why so many prez's get blamed for it?

They have “some” control, but also a factor of just market forces and other global issues sometimes outside of the president’s control.

 

[Hans81]

Oh you promis he wont run again?

Are you serious? Presidents can only serve two 4-year terms. 😉

 

[DFSNOLE]

Are you really serious with this question? No. I don’t think DJT or ANY politician is a beacon of truth.
The election is over and one bozo beat a bigger bozo so let’s deal with the reality of the situation.

Yes I'm serious with that question. You had several options with the wisest one not commenting at all. Instead, you chose to attack the poster which implies you agreed with the post he was responding to. And now, you chose to attack me. Quality.

 

[DFSNOLE]

The $400 million number is not accurate.

Then what is the actual number?

Still waiting...

 

[Hans81]

I have seen video of him saying it, hinting at it. yes he might be trolling but he wants to be a king, like a Saudi, or a lifetime dictator. period. That is his make up

Well, don’t worry about it…that won’t happen.

 

[Huey Grey]

Trump was part of the larger point and NOW THAT THE ELECTION IS OVER let us not forget that I remain a conservative Republican who is NOT a MAGA. Therefore I will counter a post that I disagree with that goes beyond some person still stuck on him as their focus of anger. It’s pointless. Do you really not understand that?

My post said that Trump is a liar. You disagree with that?

 

[Huey Grey]

Joe Biden is a 50 year hanger on who the Democrats pushed out there in an act of desperation. He was not mentally fit for the office from Day One and should not have been allowed to run for a second term in any case. A Democratic Party with no real “bench” foisted him on the electorate and DJT exposed him in the debate.
Am I saying Trump was the best? I bet you and others will claim I’m saying that. But I’m not and I have been consistent about it,
I’ve said for months and months both parties should have had the guts to give America two candidates who were the best from the next generation and that I wouldn’t vote for either one.
I did not vote for Trump. I did not vote for Harris.
America has voted. Like it or not we must deal with the results.
There’s been a statement made by voters and as far as I’m concerned a reset pulling the country back to the center. And we should be paying more attention to make sure we stay there.
If this is over your head I can’t help you. Bless your heart.

That's a lot of words to say that you still like Trump.

Donald Trump got a $9 million loan from his father. Simple google search for such info. Any more questions?

He got $413 million. He's scamming you.

NY Times: Trump got $413M from his dad, much from tax dodges

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Times reported Tuesday that President Donald Trump received at least $413 million from his father over the decades, much of that through dubious tax dodges, including outright fraud.

Are you truly unable to tell that I said DJT and all politicians are liars?

I called Trump a liar and called the person who thinks he's honest stupid, and you flipped out and wrote this:

"OMG. The idea that you of all people should call ANYONE stupid just leaves me SMDH."

I don't think ALL politicians are liars. Mitt Romney seems honest.

Trump lies like he breathes. He's in his own league.

Fred Trump wasn’t very different from many other New York developer moguls and setting up various corporate entities, trusts, LLC, etc was what was commonly done.
It’s done today and not just by NY types.

For example if I had won the recent Mega Millions billion dollar jackpot I would be dumb if I didn’t set up several of those in order to avoid having the government confiscate it upon my passing. Life estates, trusts, LLC, foundations, etc that I and my family would be part of.
I’m not defending the Trump family - or the Walton Family - or any of those with dynastic wealth; I’m just explaining how and why so many of these very wealthy families hold on to their wealth. Using existing laws.

Most of Trump's claims are lies.

And unfortunately maybe that’s why Mitt is no longer in office.

Sadly, that's the culture we live in...it's full of lies.

It's impossible to convince people.

I stopped trying, mostly.

Democrats are full of crap when it comes to oil. they claim climate change is the biggest threat to humanity and Biden bans the sale of ice vehicles in the next decade. but then I have seen dems tout that oil production are at the highest levels ever under biden.

So what is it, is climate change a major threat to humanity and fossil fuel usage must stop, or should we utilize our oil resources to help Americans? You can't have it both ways

Facts are not really a priority for democrats either. Here are 175 ways biden made it harder to utilize our oil resources.

175 Ways the Biden Administration and Democrats Have Made it Harder to Produce Oil & Gas

President Biden and Democrats have a plan for American energy: make it harder to produce and more expensive to purchase.…

That’s a bit simplistic, I live in a world where a goal like expansion of renewables is incrementally achieved, realizing that a wholesale change would not be viable within a short timeframe.

You can support short term lower energy costs for the nation now while acknowledging that fossil fuel energy reliance is not a viable long term policy that affects our national security. It’s not an either/or choice.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

To be honest with you, it seems to me that when accusing anyone of a misguided “main concern” it might help if you admitted that the left is beyond having a “main concern” when it comes to the President elect.

My main concern for the incoming administration is avoiding upsetting the apple cart to the detriment of nearly all of us.

You’re right, I don’t give a crap whether Trump’s legal record is altered going forward, just asking that he be a reliable and effective leader and appoint people who can bring about positive change. Is that too much to ask now? His indicated appointment choices don’t fill me with confidence that he’s concerned about the same priorities. Do you care whether Trump is called a convicted felon now or in the future? He is what he is, a felon, now and forever. Nothing is going to change that fact. Quibbling over rhetorical terminology is immaterial.

 

[Capital1Hawk]

There is a lot of stuff going on right now globally. How likely do you think a depression/recession is under Trump?

It's going to happen regardless. The Fed has pumped us up for 5 years now with spending to keep kicking the can from the day of reckoning. Reminds me so much of the Dot.com bust, 1999 was a great year if you had money back then. Then it took 13 years for market to finally go up again. What is going to be the name of the next crisis? Commercial real estate?

 

[DFSNOLE]

Most who voted that there is a chance of it happening gave a reason as to why they felt that way. Have the 10 who said it was unlikely done the same?

Large scale wind and solar are not a short term or long term viable option. they both suck and are not as good for the environment as they claim to be. They are fine for personal use though.

I do believe that they will continue to be important and that technology will improve as it relates to the ability to capture and deliver the needed results. You’re right about the personal use being feasible in the moment though.

I'm about ready to go all cash as I'm fully expecting a market decline.

Has nothing to do with him, it's just that the market is OVERVALUED.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks democrats would love to see a crash under trump, so they will position themselves for a crash and do what they can to make it happen.

Half of Republicans already think a crash should or will occur, so this means there wouldn't be much buying pressure to keep the market up.

I think if a crash occurs under trump, it will most likely occur in the first 3 months of his presidency so he can blame it on Biden.

This is just my own conspiracy theory, so probably a small chance it will play out.

 

[redghost1974]

And that Republicans wouldn’t stop him.
Come on.

If Trump is still pulling campaign purse strings, the economy doesn't tank, and Democrats don't take back one if houses in 2026, then yes they will make a push to put him back on the ballot just a sa sign to kiss the ring.
