Trump Says He Hopes Economic ‘Crash’ He Predicted Happens in ‘Next 12 Months’

Lindell TV

Former President Donald Trump predicted the country will face an economic crisis and he hopes it happens within the next year.

On Monday night, President Joe Biden’s campaign posted a 10-second video on X/Twitter of the former president giving an interview on Lindell TV – a platform owned by Trump supporter and pillow magnate Mike Lindell. A teaser for the interview dropped earlier in the day showed Trump being interviewed by former Fox host Lou Dobbs.

At one point, Trump told Dobbs:

When there’s a crash, I hope it’s gonna be during this next [sic] 12 months because I don’t wanna be Hebert Hoover – the one president, I just don’t wanna be Herbert Hoover.

Hoover was inaugurated as president in March 1929. Six months later, the stock market crashed and triggered the Great Depression, which doomed his presidency.

Trump is the runaway frontrunner to win the Republican nomination. As such, he is expected to face Biden in a rematch in November.

After losing the 2020 presidential election, Trump falsely claimed the election was rigged against him. The former president is currently under indictment in four jurisdictions. Two of those cases pertain to his failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election by pressuring officials in states he lost to subvert their results.
