They do. No one ever posts when it gains.

I do think many here would be perfectly fine with an economic collapse as long as Trump gets the blame. If you have that way of thinking, for all those people who lose their retirement savings, their jobs , or had their homes foreclosed, it would just be collateral damage for the good of the country. They must have been ecstatic in 2008-2009.

I for one will never hope see my neighbors broke, unemployed, homeless & hungry to score political points
