    It’s still 80% accurate. He’s still saying he hopes for a collapse for the sake of his legacy to somehow prove himself a hero and preserve a legacy.

      he’s saying that there will be a collapse and that it won’t be his fault and that he hopes it happens before he becomes president because it would make him look bad. I think he’s obviously full of shit, but the headlines should at least not misrepresent what he’s saying. it’s bad journalism and it’s harmful. it’s fuel for Trump supporters who want to think that the other side are idiots and that the news is corrupt.

      80% is pretty generous considering nowhere in the quote does he wants a crash, he’s just predicting one and hopes the timing is good for his legacy.

      And considering the title is claiming he is saying he “wants” it to crash, it’s categorically false.

      Trump is trash, but we shouldn’t be defending trash headlines like this.
