President Donald Trump’s egomania knows few, if any bounds. This Friday morning, he took to Twitter to tout his administration’s supposed economic prowess ahead of the 2020 elections, completely dismissing fears from some economists that the volatility he’s enacted is leading towards a recession. Rather than proving some kind of media conspiracy, there are real-world indicators like an inverted yield curve for bonds wherein long-term returns plummet that are suggesting a recession — but Trump railed on and on about the utter greatness of his economic policy anyway, suggesting otherwise. He went so far that he yet again held himself out as not one of the greatest but the single greatest leader in the history of the United States.
He ranted:
‘The Economy is strong and good, whereas the rest of the world is not doing so well. Despite this the Fake News Media, together with their Partner, the Democrat Party, are working overtime to convince people that we are in, or will soon be going into, a Recession. They are willing to lose their wealth, or a big part of it, just for the possibility of winning the Election. But it won’t work because I always find a way to win, especially for the people! The greatest political movement in the history of our Country will have another big win in 2020!’
This egomania that’s on display here offers a backdrop for his other recent high-profile claim that he’s the “chosen one,” which he offered around the same time that he proudly parroted a quote from someone describing him as “the second coming of God” and the “king of the Jews.” Soon after he embraced the title of the “best President for Israel in the history of the world,” he got on Twitter again to share a message saying we “should aspire to more.” Trump’s egomania knows no bounds.
In line with that, to suggest that Democrats are “willing to lose their wealth” for a chance at a 2020 victory is blatantly false and without evidence.
This Friday, Trump also tweeted about his approval rating, staying closely watching these measures of public opinion while he’s got a country to run.
