>The mainstream media isn't talking about it to get rid of Trump.
That has became a bit of a meme ever since Bill Maher pointed out recession would both prevent Trump's reelection and also judged it as preferable over Trump.
"Well, you should wish for a recession,” Maher said, interrupting Nichols. “'Cause that will definitely get him [Trump] unelected." [1]
He followed it up with more of the same in a later episode [2].

- Miner49er 7y agoYou can find other political pundits that'll say that a recession would help Trump get elected, and I personally view that as the case.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoCitation? Can you find the analysis that a recession would help Trump get re-elected? Because I have the opposite as historical fact. That in the 1900s the only incumbent presidents to have lost re-election were those that campaigned during a recession (two irrc, maybe three).
