3 years of market gains were erased just like that, imagine getting all those tax breaks and free money the orange clown was giving the 1% in the past 3 years just so they would lose it in a matter of weeks because of his incompetency, might be worse economy collapse ever and people are still on that clown wagon …

Stop with this fox news bs nobody is rooting for the economy to go to s*** (already went to s***) I have employees and a lot of people depending on my business to be rooting for the buffoon to destroy the economy that's the last thing I want to happen

Sorry, I confused your post which literally celebrated the economic turmoil with you in fact celebrating the economic turmoil........

[Sollozzo]

Three years of market gains have not been erased. The Dow right now, even after the chaos of the last few weeks, is over 3,000 points higher than it was the day Trump took office. The S&P 500 is still higher than it was the day he took office (all of this takes like two seconds to look up - pretty pathetic if you don't know this). That shows you just how incredible Trump has been for the economy. There has been virtually unprecedented panic in the market, yet it's *still* trading higher than it was three years ago when he took over, which shows just how phenomenal the gains have been since 2017. In other words, Trump's economy has been so great that there has been a bit of a buffer so far for people with these sell-offs

If you're someone who predicted when Trump took over that a historic virus would dent the economy, then you need to go buy lottery tickets because you have supernatural powers. I remember hearing that Mueller would get Trump - never rememebr hearing a year ago that a virus would be the thing that would dent his presdidency. Otherwise, what we've seen is a historic event with a reaction that isn't comparable to normal economic times. Obviously the Trump policies were working great in a normal environment with no viruses.

The fact that a reaction to an unprecedented virus is the ONLY thing that has dented the economy thus far in the Trump administration is proof that the policies were great. Facts. Indisputable. Can't be argued.

as Trump is just a Putin's puppet/asset ...how does it feel being just a Russian puppet?....Trump is a traitor...and so are you.

Joe Biden reminds me of a movie I watched some time ago. It was Weekend at Bernie's. Funny that the name is Bernie when it really applies to Joe Biden. We are talking about a guy that clearly has dementia and has absolutely no business being president. Let's go.

Good post about the coronavirus.

Considering I have a doctorate, I don't think that applies here.

Just last week this buffoon was telling everybody that this a hoax

[pimpis zajoba]

The orange buffoon is going to get COVID-19....I GUARANTEE IT.

Wrong V. Trump wasn't calling the virus itself a hoax. He was describing the politicization of the White House’s response as an attempt to undermine his administration similar to the failed impeachment attempt and the failed Russia/Mueller investigation. This will fail too, btw. Here are his actual words:

“They tried anything,” said Trump about a minute after his first mention of the coronavirus. “They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.”

You only hear what you want to hear and manufacture the rest. The statement was about the Democrats’ politicization of the response to the coronavirus threat—not the coronavirus itself. This is why you guys need to stop. This is keeping the nation from coming together to fight this thing.

I think he will too.

Here are a few beliefs I have that do concern me.

1) This disease is quite communicable and almost regardless of what we do it will not be eradicated. If someone coughs and droplets fall on a table, they can live for more than a day there based on what I have read. You or your kid touch the table and wipe your eyes, pick your nose or lick your fingers (no laughing matter) you're getting it. I just drove by a popular restaurant in town and it's packed. This thing is without a doubt going to spread.

2) I believe many, many people already have it and have experienced only minor symptoms. The tests are increasing and so the numbers are adding up. The actual mortality rate is dropping in the US at the moment as the tests increase. The mortality rate 5 days after we hit 100 cases was at a 4% mortality rate. That has dropped to 2.4% after 5 more days. But I am still concerned. Italy's numbers are worse and their mortality rate has been rising. They have a much older population than the US so that might be it. What is happening in Italy is very concerning.

So yes, what is going on in Italy is scary. Really scary.

To get a test in America you have to go to doctor, answer a medical survey from doctor and essentially check all the boxes. People with strong symptoms being sent home without a test because they didn’t travel outside of country or weren’t a senior with an underlying illness. People going to then ER waiting hours, sent home with no treatment no test and receiving $10,000 medical bills for the visit.

and no toilet paper!

This country is a disgrace right now! You can’t trust the number of reported infections. Fake news, nobody can get a test. Half the country has no sick pay. People are going to work and infecting others. We just aren’t hearing about it. These folks can’t stay home cause they have a cough. Half the country can’t afford a surprise $400 bill.

Press conference today on the rose garden was all a dog and pony show the only revealed the CEO’s and officials who dropped the ball to begin with.

If I get the coronavirus, that's it for me. I can't afford to go the hospital. Last time I went to the ER for something kind of small and the bill was ridiculous. They barely did anything.

It's time to stop with this bs narrative, the buffoon repeated the "hoax" thing so many times his cult followers even think is not real but some made up bs

sorry to hear that...USA is a greatest country in a world...all other countries run by little girls....free healthcare only if you vote for the good guys.

So there are some people who are misconstruing or misunderstanding Trump's statements on both sides of the aisle. Is that your point? If so, I agree!

Look V, I only deal in facts. The left HAS tried to use the virus to attack Trump. The left HAS tried to use ANYTHING to attack Trump. The fact the virus has caused us all problems, isn't Trump's fault.
