“We have an economy that is incredible,” he went on to say, reflective of last year’s strong labor market gains. “We have an economy that is so fragile. And the only reason it’s running now is it’s running off the fumes of what we did—what the Trump administration did. It’s just running off the fumes.”
“And when there’s a crash, I hope it’s going to be during these next twelve months, because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover,” he continued, referring to the president when the Great Depression hit in 1929. “The one president—I just don’t want to be Herbert Hoover.”
I think the reason he provides seems stranger than merely wishing for the economy to crash because it might improve his chances of being re-elected.
Because his ilk are too fucking incompetent to understand how the economy works. He inherited a great economy from Obama, but all his little Trumpettes say it was his doing. And when the fallout of his tax bill started hitting (combined with pandemic issues) suddenly it was all Biden’s fault.
FOX ran stats during Trump’s first weeks in office. They showed that things were great when Bush Jr. and Donnie were just starting out and that things were terrible when Obama and Clinton were just beginning.

he wants to be written into history as a “good president” or whatever. i don’t think that’s possible.
