SL: Donald Trump was cheerleader-in-chief for a housing market crash so he could make money

Body: Yesterday, CNN revealed that Trump was hoping for a housing crash so that he could benefit financially.

"I sort of hope that happens," Trump said in 2006<http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/19/politics/donald-trump-2006-hopes-real-estate-market-crashes/index.html>, predicting the 2008 housing crash that cost millions of Americans their homes, savings and jobs.

But this wasn't a slip of the tongue - Trump had been cheerleading for a housing market crash and a recession for years so he could benefit financially at a time when Americans were suffering.

"Cheerleading for a recession that cost millions of Americans their homes, jobs and savings shows how little regard Donald Trump has for working people in this country. Until Trump releases his tax returns, there's no telling how much he pocketed during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression." - DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach
