Actually the economy is in pretty good shape. Bank reserves are better. And it took over 5 years for the banksters to work up a plan after Glass-Steagal repeal. And then the bubble lasted for a few years.

The GOP would have to change the rules in order to have a collapse.

Yes, the GOP usually deliver at least a recession or a depression if they can manage it, but for the foreseeable future we're probably OK.

Also, I think Trump actually knows more about economics than most GOPers who are driven more by ideology. advanced polymers and magic smoke. Trump must have learned something going bankrupt so many times.
