The Trump Recession Is Coming

By Alex Shephard

Speaking at a North Carolina campaign rally almost exactly a year ago, Donald Trump painted a dire picture of the American economy should Vice President Kamala Harris win the presidency in November. “If Harris wins this election, the result will be a Kamala economic crash, a 1929-style depression,” Trump said. “When I win the election, we will immediately begin a brand new Trump economic boom.”

 

Trump was talking then about the election’s most important issue: post-pandemic inflation, for which voters blamed Harris’s boss, President Joe Biden. In May of last year, a clear majority—including 49 percent of Democrats—wrongly believed the country was already in a recession when Trump delivered that speech. Americans hated the economy and wanted a change. That is, more or less, the story of how Trump won the 2024 election (though it certainly helped that Trump spent the majority of the campaign running against an 81-year-old who wasn’t up to the challenge, to put it mildly).
