Trump: ‘If I’m Impeached The Market Will Crash And You’ll All Be Very Poor’

Having watched helplessly from Air Force One as his former campaign chairman was convicted on eight counts of tax and bank fraud and having sat by incredulous as his former fixer and personal attorney implicated him in campaign finance violations in open court during a stunning guilty plea, Donald Trump seems to be begrudgingly coming to terms with the reality that his presidency is in jeopardy.

Over the past several weeks, Rudy Giuliani and Devin Nunes were both caught on tape admitting that if the November elections go poorly, Trump will likely be impeached.

Here’s what Nunes said at a July 30 fundraiser, in Spokane (this was secretly taped by a progressive organization called Fuse Washington that apparently paid for entry):

 

It would appear that while you cannot take Devin Nunes seriously when he’s speaking in public, you certainly can when he’s speaking in private.

As far as Giuliani goes, it’s not quite accurate to say he was “caught” on tape talking about impeachment. Rather, Rudy just came right out and said it while campaigning for Eddie Edwards, who’s seeking the Republican nomination in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District. Here’s the clip:

 

Well, more clips from Trump’s farcical interview with Fox & Friends’ Ainsley Earhardt were aired on Thursday morning and Trump talked about what he imagines would happen if he were impeached.

Asked about the midterms, Trump said this:

I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because without this thinking, you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.

If you think that is too incoherent and simple-minded to be true, I’ve got bad news for you in the form of video evidence. Watch this:

 

Did you get that? If not, that’s ok, because by the end of it, he wasn’t making any sense with the numbers, but that was Donald Trump saying (and pointing to his head when he said it), that without his “very good brain”, we’d “all be very poor.”

He might very well be correct to say that the market would “crash” if he’s impeached, but that wouldn’t have anything to do with investors and traders being petrified at the prospect of being without his “thinking” or otherwise deprived of access to the bad idea generator that runs on autopilot underneath that rusty Brillo pad he wears on his head.

Additionally, you should note that Donald Trump’s claims about the extent to which he’s responsible for the stock market rally are dubious in the extreme and you don’t have to be an analyst to understand that.

  1. If the boss gets successfully impeached, hasn’t happened in our history, that isn’t the worst. The worst is that we get Pence who can’t wait to sit in the “big boy chair” (his words). He’s got a social agenda he couldn’t get done in Indiana that will make Trump’s seem tame.

  2. I’ve noticed (evinced by the headline picture) that five ball’s comb-over many times appears to be like a mist escaping a fresh cow turd.
