From what little I know about these things, we're way overdue for a recession, for reasons that likely have little to do with Trump or Obama. Historically, recoveries from financial crises just take forever to work themselves out. Japan has been recovering from one for like 25 years now. Still, I'm feverishly reading every story I find these days about the yield curve. It's easy to convince yourself that it's right around the corner.
It's not so much about wishing for a recession, it's more just thinking that if a recession is inevitable, I'd want it to happen at a politically useful moment lol.
(And yes, I'm aware that Republicans we thinking pretty much the same way in the Obama years.)
