Best way to beat Trump in 2020 -- cause a Recession.

Here's a question for economists and people who have studied economics -- how could the Dems and their acolytes cause a recession in early 2020 in order to facilitate a Dem White House win in 2020?
Is this possible? Or is the economy so very complex that it would impossible for a group of powerful people to manipulate it for political gain?
Thanks.

Or spend low 6 digits on anti Trump Facebook ads.

The best way for Dems to cause a recession is to be in power and implement their policies.
Other methods require far more long term efforts such as Freddie and Fannie bubbling up and the bursting in 2008 when the proper pressure was applied.

I doubt that happens, but Trump may be a victim of his own success with interest rates going up to try to kill his amazing improvement of the economy. It’s just heating up too much, too quick...

I've upvoted you and the other responsive post in this thread so far.
So, the smart answer is that it is a matter of chance/luck and deliberate manipulation of the economy to cause a crash is not reasonably achievable?

Not only possible, some would say probable. If the swamp is as deep as some think it is, a recession is the only way to keep Trump out, IMO.....unless he does/has done something really stupid that he can't gloss over

i don't think the dems can cause a Recession but i do believe the economy can slow down before the next election. The stock market has been climbing for almost 10 straight years. That is an incredible run and history tells us that can't go on forever. I also believe the POTUS only can influence such a small part of the economy.

A. Too complex for a party to start one with a President that would veto any legislation
B. Trump can be in a recession and get reelected. The loyalists are emotionally attached, economics aren't really their motivator.
C. After Hillary lost, and this wave of BS pettiness by the party and people, Dems lost a ton of moderates. They would need a strong in the middle moderate to run, and they won't make it out of the primaries.

It’s a matter of knowing the right place to add pressure to cause a cascade of damage.
To give a theoretical example, we all know the city of Chicago is about bankrupt and not very liquid. Same with the state of Illinois.
Toppling one or both would be bad but not enough to cause a recession.
If enough businesses or banks either held bonds issued by one or both OR were suppliers who didn’t get paid by them, a bankruptcy potentially causes a ripple effect depending on cash flow issues.

That's what caught up to Bush Sr. in 1992.

A lot of macroeconomists think there will be a recession later this year or sometime next year, and it wouldn't necessarily need to be caused by any political move. Any number of things could spark it.

Good. I need a better rate on my CDs. This .25%, .30% payout for the last nine years has been pathetic.

I do believe Arab wealth funds helped crash the market in fall of 2008 to help obama

That's the idea, bro. Are we going too fast for you? If the Dems can engineer some kind of economic setback then their allies in the Mass Media will make sure that the masses are messaged that Trump is to blame.
That's why I started the thread, see?

i haven't seen any of the typical professional forecasting firms or agencies saying that, although it does seem to be consensus that this year will be better than last year just because of the demand-side stimulus from the tax bill
who's saying there's going to be a recession this year or next, and why? trade restrictions? spiking oil prices?

This would mean they know something about economics and believe me, they don't.
