If it would make Trump lose, then it would be good.

But it wouldn't make Trump lose. His supporters don't care how blatantly evil he often is.

Trump has been doing many things that are pushing the entire world towards a recession.
I would prefer that the recession happens while he is president so that he takes the blame for his own actions, rather than the recession starting once a democrat gets into office and the public blames them rather than Trump.

A recession is less damaging to the country than Trump's presidency has been.

Signs of a recession are showing.

If it is going to happen, it's better that there is a silver lining somewhere (i.e. Hurt Trump's reelection chances).

Not really. Though a lot of the damage is already done, and permanent. So a second Trump term may or may not be more damaging than a recession

The other problem with it is if you live in the United states you're already one of the richest people in the world simply by blind chance of where you were born. You also have a higher living standard than any generation before you

So, how about some perspective here?

So I should be content with the previous generation intentionally screwing with my life and the environment because other people have it worse?

Having a mini computer doesn't outweigh the inability to buy a home or being unable to afford health insurance.

If you really want a recession then you'll have to vote for the Democratic candidate in 2020, as there's no way we'll get one under the leadership of an economics/business guru like Trump.

Lot of milliniels dont own homes because they don't want to. They're also waiting longer to get married and have children.

A shift in preferences of lifestyle doesnt mean boomers have rigged the game against you.
