Trump’s Motives for Crashing the Market

It is true that Donald Trump said in 2012: “I find that I do better in bad markets. I buy things in bad markets.”  Thus, Robert Reich’s speculation here makes sense. As someone on social media put it:  I was in prison with a few arsonists. One lad’s comment, “I started fires only for profit…Trump?

But there are other possible motives, e.g., that a suffering and desperate U.S. population will be much easier to control when it comes to a third term for Trump.

Nobody knows.
