Trump Says That He Loves Inflation & Suggests That He Tanked Economy on Purpose (Not a Joke)

This is a picture of a magnet that was being sold at Strand's Book Store in New York City a few years ago. No, I did not buy it, but I liked it and took a picture, which I am sharing here now. 

Everyone is saying that Trump is really, noticeably losing it lately.

Frankly, I am not convinced that he ever had any real redeeming qualities worth losing to begin with. But it does appear that his behavior is spiraling out of control lately. He is saying things that are just completely off the wall crazy. 

While speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump claimed that he loved inflation and suggests that he is tanking the economy on purpose.

No, really. It might sound like a joke, or that perhaps it was taken out of context, but he actually did say these things. Here is part of what he said, in his own words, as taken by a recent MSN article by Travis Gettys (see link below):

"No, I love it – the numbers were great," Trump said. "You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say it now, something you didn't know. You know, we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil, nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran, until right now we took out the other night 22 ships late at night with no lights because they don't have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out, that's why oil is $85 a barrel."

Then he explained how and why he tanked the economy. Temporarily, at least, according to him. Here is what he said:

"I mean, you take a look – remember when I did this?" Trump said. "I said, look, the one bad thing will be we hit the best economy we've ever hit, and I said to my people, I had Scott, I had Howard, I had Pete, I had all, I had Todd in the room. I said, the one thing we have to do now, we had just hit the highest stock market in history, highest 401ks in history. Everything was going well, and I said, I hate to do this to you guys, but Iran's going to have a nuclear weapon very soon. We have to go and attack."  

"So we hit him with the B-2 bombers, which took a lot of courage," he added. "It was totally successful. We buried it, very hard to get, but now we had to make the second move, and I said, you know, the bad part is the stock market will go down by little bit – a lot, based on predictions of experts, like 25 percent, and it was worth it to me. It was worth it not to have a nuclear weapon."

Man, this guy is freaking nuts. What an absolute loser! 

Are we finally ready as a nation to move on from this man? Can we collectively admit that he was a mistake - quite possibly the biggest mistake that this country ever made - and that he should be permanently removed from office?

Let's move on from this ugly, dark chapter in our history. Let's get out from the shadow of this small, pathetic man and become a bigger and better country for it.
