Since we already used "The Great Depression" we should call this one "The Idiot's Depression."

It's tremendous, this depression. Really beautiful if you think about it - a beautiful depression. Can you believe that? Nobody says things like that - they say - oh a depression? How can - how can a depression be beautiful? But believe me, believe me - they've never seen a depression like this one. They've never seen it. This depression, it's gonna be huge. It's gonna be the biggest depression this world has seen in maybe ever. It's going to be tremendous. It's a lot of winning.

People come up to me with tears in their eyes, saying it's incredible how this greatest AMERICAN depression is ruining our lives. I can't stress enough how many people are crying around me. Everyone is in tears.

Its kind of sad seeing how the style of these quotes feels outdated. He doesn't really talk like this anymore. Somehow he is even less coherent. He has definitely declined over the past 8 years.

Purely voluntary recession to boot.
