"This would be a really weird recession, right? I mean, it's a recession by design," he said. "The economy came into the year rip-roaring, exceptionally strong, and we're pushing it in because of policy." "The recession risks are uncomfortably high and they're rising," Zandi said Wednesday on CNN. "I think they're less than 50/50, but it really does depend on the president, what he does here."

Market ManipulationNot that I would suggest that the man causing this recession would ever engage in such conduct ...
In economics and finance, market manipulation is a type of market abuse where there is a deliberate attempt to interfere with the free and fair operation of the market; the most blatant of cases involve creating false or misleading appearances with respect to the price of, or market for, a product, security or commodity. Market manipulation is prohibited in most countries.
