In 2014 Fox News Video, Trump Touts 'Disaster' As A Way To Make America Great Again

“When the country goes to total hell — then you’ll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great,” he said on a “Fox & Friends” show.

An eerie Fox News video of Donald Trump talking about an “economic crash” and riots as a route back to when America was “great” has resurfaced as the longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues to fray services.

Trump’s call-in on a 2014 “Fox & Friends” episode, which was posted Thursday by Raw Story, appears to reveal his willingness to tolerate almost any disaster to get what he wants.

His return-to-greatness vision came as he and the Fox panel blasted Obamacare as a freebie for those who “don’t want to work.” Obamacare isn’t free, and recipients pay premiums.

“You know what solves it?” Trump asked, referring to Obamacare. “When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster — then you’ll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great.”
