We shouldn't use Trump's behavior as the basis for our own. We correctly chastised him when he was hoping for the economy to fail for political gain.

A decline in the economy would generally impact those who are most vulnerable the most - minorities and other marginalized groups, people in poverty, people in the lower and middle classes, and so on. Wishing them financial harm, even if indirectly, just to spite Trump seems a bit misguided.
