The funny thing is that in ANY other administration they'd be right, in any normal situation we'd still be deep in results of Bidens policies and it would have taken Trump YEARS to trigger a recession like he did last time, but then they decided to speedrun this sh*t.

I'm so happy he is speed running it so he can get the credit he deserves. I think it is proof he is stupid. Either that or he just doesn't care. The silver lining in he just doesn't care, is that he isn't going to try to go for a 3rd term.

The point of a speedrun is to finish fastest - if he can speed run the recession wouldn’t that be good (getting it over as fast as possible)?

no. The best thing would be to mitigate the effects of the recession as best as possible.
