"If the Biden-Harris team does come in, and they were to implement what's on their platform, which is a tax on unrealized gain, that's going to cause massive selling of homes, of stocks, of companies, of art and that could … put us immediately into a recession, so hopefully that if they are elected, they won't pursue that," he said.
