"It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear," Trump told attendees at an African American History Month reception in the White House Cabinet Room.

He said "miracle". same thing you idiot. As I told you previously, if you think I'm wrong - you need to realize you are.

respond like a child and call it the china virus instead of being a big boy and using the scientific name? No one, even the Chinese people think the US created it so why stoop to their level. I could care less what China says about it and I don't want our Pres. to act like a child.

I've seen posts here in the past days that accuse the Chinese of developing the corona virus in a secret lab.
I've heard numbers of our politicians call it the Chinese virus and claim that they did nothing about it.
It's not acceptable.

Here's what AMERICAN DOCTOR Eugene Gu, MD said about calling it Chinese

As a Chinese Korean American, I know what it’s like going outside with the sniffles due to allergies. People are scared of anyone who coughs, but if you’re Asian it’s like you’re a terrorist. So please don’t call it the Chinese Coronavirus. We’re already walking on eggshells.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Heard a Fox news host defending Trumps use of Chinese Virus by saying Ebola was named after a River ... it's amazing to see how much time Fox spends showing what CNN MsNBC and even the view has to say about Trump , then run to his defense .. in awe of last night's speech, but ignore the market tanking or all the major closures..

I, in turn will point out that I was right. The fact that you insist magic and miracle apparently have the same meaning is revealing. I was merely responding to your nonsense and I will continue to correct your mistakes in the future. Something tells me that I will be busy.

The US and South Korea announced their first cases of the coronavirus on the same day: January 20. After more than six weeks, the US has only tested some 1,500 for the virus. South Korea has tested about 140,000.

Our own government is to blame if this balloons into a crisis.

It already is, schools closing, sports seasons over, people hoarding supplies and if you think the market is just reacting to the virus your head is stuck in the sand. The market is reacting to not just the virus, it’s this lame administrations handling from the start. Best president of our lifetime my arse and now that his Trump card the economy just went down the drain the Trump clan must be looking at how to keep the family businesses from tanking so they have something to fall back on.

the february jobs report absolutely crushed. i havent heard anyone say the us economy isn’t strong. this plummet happened because someone in eastern china ate an infected armadillo, not because consumer demand isn’t strong or because of any other issues with our economy.

if the feds banned fishing, and people stopped buying your plastics, does that mean i can claim jyour plastics stink?

Put down the kool aid and think, for just two seconds.

Nothing good is his doing, everything bad is his doing. we get it.

Futures were up 300 points last night when Trump started talking. When he was done it was down a thousand. He repeatedly lies and has no plan that is partly what is scaring people in the market.

he limited travel, he is proposing ways to limit the financial impact to people who could
lose paychecks. he talked about the precautions we should
take. they’re working on test kits. what should he have said, that he didn’t say?

i know i like the guys results more than you do. but seriously, in your opinion, what should he have said?

markets are tanking everywhere, aren't they? does that mean everyone dislikes their
leaders the way you dislike trump? did you give him credit when the markets were soaring? or is it only his doing when something bad happens?

the bull market ( longest in history) was because of favorable things done by Obama, then Trump. How
is this plummet his fault? can you point to a nation with a leader you
like, whose stock market isn’t falling right now, because you think that leader did a better job ha sling the virus? it’s a global
pandemic that started in China, and likely exacerbated by China
mishandling it.

if the drop was because of concerns over the debt, he owns that. how does he own this?

I never blamed the plummet on Trump. Just as I never gave him credit for all of the run-up. However today's sell-off had a lot to do with his speech last night and the lack of planning and his lies.

that’s fair.

do you have kids in school? we have 3. they haven’t announced any cancellations in my town yet, but teachers sent kids home today with tons of work, lots of talk about online learning. i assume schools will be closed for two
weeks starting monday.

as you probably know, the CIAC cancelled high school sports tournaments. yet
my 7th graders who plays travel basketball, has his final 4 this weekend in wethersfield, and they told us that they’re planning to play with no spectators. if it’s not safe for high school kids to play in empty gyms, how can it be safe for 7th graders.

Hope you and yours are completely unscathed.

Funny to see my friends on FB who have given Trump never ending praise about their 401ks and the market shift gears into blaming the media and others about it now.. did the media ban Flights did the media call it a hoax did the media tell americans everyone who needed a test could get one, and rich people are tanking the market not avg people

Trump isn't the sole cause and never has been but his base cant accepted what he is responsible for ..

Don’t know the details and if that happened I’d agree, that typical political BS has no place in this process. Still the hypocrisy is still there in the GOP, look at Matt Gaetz and Cruz, both took a 2 week paid sick leave and both voted against bills to support paid sick leave in 2013 and 2015.
