Former President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by stating his hope for the U.S. economy to crash within the next year to improve his chances in the presidential election. He has made it clear that he wishes to avoid being likened to Herbert Hoover, the president during the onset of the Great Depression. Trump's comments have drawn criticism, including from President Joe Biden's reelection campaign, which has taken the opportunity to highlight the contrast between Biden's and Trump's views on the economy. A Biden spokesman emphasized that unlike Trump, Biden believes an economic crash would be detrimental. Trump's remarks about the economy have been condemned as showing a disregard for the welfare of the American people.
