Don’t worry, once again Jim has a 180 degree misunderstanding because he failed to read past the Fox headline.

Why is Trump refusing to get tested? Wouldn't it help the public to see The POTUS to do what he suggest the people to do and have done . TRUMP knows he was next to a postive person we have photos.. take the test and reassure the public.

Trump* is trying to make Pelosi president.
Both he and Pence have been exposed to people diagnosed with corona and if yesterday’s presser was any indication are not doing the cdc recommended protocols.
Do you think the Stable Genius knows how the line of succession works or does he think Jared can just take over

I think he is showing courage and leadership under trying circumstances. Rest assured, he is aware of the consequences.

If doing his best is making things worse it just validates what we’ve known all along, he’s unfit for office. To think he can’t even read 10 min of prepared remarks and not screw it completely up shows not just his own incompetence but the failure of those around him. We need a leader not someone with a wounded ego staring at the headlights and flailing about.

(1) did he mess up reading the prepared remarks? i thought the remarks were wrong.

(2) you correlate the ability to make good decisions, with the ability to read off a teleprompter? those two skills move in lockstep, do they?

anything to make him look bad, because you might not have anywhere to go to exile yourself again if he gets re elected.

The Trump* Plague and the administration’s response will obviate the need to self-exile, barring a miracle. Magic is excluded as a solution because it implies some expertise.

President Barack Obama on 1/7/10: "Ultimately, the buck stops with me. As President, I have a solemn responsibility to protect our nation and our people, and when the system fails, it is my responsibility.”

Donald Trump on 3/12/20: “No, I don’t take responsibility at all.”

The leader of every country that has a corona virus must publicly confess fault and only then will the caseload subside. Just fall on the sword and get it over with. Certainly Obama saved many lives with his baring of the soul. What was his death count at the time of his nice words? Maybe the virus will be eliminated by simply following his lead.
Thanks for the inspiration Bitchslappedboy.

President Trump*, who is scheduled to be on a call with grocery store executives at this hour and has a pandemic to manage, is tweeting currently about the plight of Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators.

i dare you to tell us what the differences were, without you looking it up.

inaction? for the 20th time, when trump restricted travel from china on day one, he was called a racist and nationalist.

Doesn’t matter what trump does, you’ll say it was wrong.

Try looking at his actions in their entirety, I had to look it up, you suggest the last administration of allowing people to die.. facts matter read the time line ...

This thing isn't over , let's hope Trumps denials and his change of mind , haven't come to late.. not just the human costs

who said it’s anywhere near over?

again, no matter what trump does, it’s wrong. it doesn’t matter what he does, you guys reflexively criticize it.

i’m not saying he did everything right. his speech the day before the dow dropped 2,000 was very sloppy. but somehow
you all know he blew it. if he did exactly what you think he should
have done, would
you be capable of saying so? of course not.

as an aside, the market liquidity problem was a lot worse than o was aware, or the fed wouldn’t have done what they did.

Trump* can’t brag about stocks or the great economy.

He can’t say he is going to drain the swamp bc his admin is swampier.

He can’t say he is going to bring down debt bc he blew it up without cause and now he’s adding way more

He can’t say Mexico is going to pay for a wall.

What does he have left to run on?

Is it gonna be dead elderly and look at the Medicaid savings?

The incompetence that I said was there is now out for all to see.

His first move in the corona virus debacle was his only correct one, after that he only did things to benefit himself.
And his prior destruction of all things Obama removed much needed national security safeguards.
Now we pay the price for electing a clown
But my 401K
The Asian markets are getting hammered
We’ll see what ours think of Trump*’s lies tomorrow
We will be the new Greece if he has his way.
He’s very happy

I am confident that Trump will be re-elected. Then you may understand this never had anything to do with the market. Try to keep up.

NBC/WSJ poll says 60% of Americans think the worst is yet to come with COVID-19. Who are the other 40%?

Luckily 60% of Americans are not as simple as you.
Trump* used the growth tools to prop up the elderly bull market
Now he will save us like he saved his casino, airline, university etc.
Little over 300 days till the next inauguration and what Trump* will do in his last 60 ought to scare any thinking person

Meanwhile, it’s a great time to buy that vacation home you have been saving for as interest rates are historically low.👍🏿

Pete, our economy is fundamentally strong. I’m going to
take a stab that you didnt see the february jobs report?

The market
is dropping like a rock because we were hit by an outside influence we had nothing to do with. people are going to spend a lot less in the coming weeks, meaning earnings will be down. i can’t imagine owning a restaurant right now.

You’re saying this is trumps fault? Really?

How do you suppose we’d be better off exactly, if Hilary had won? How do you suppose our economy would be better off right at this moment, if hilary had won? Can you be specific?

You’re rooting for many deaths and an economic collapse. because if we come out relatively un-scathed, trump could possibly be seen as having managed us through this crisis well. And we all know that your bitch-slapped psyche cannot process that possibility.

Politics and economics aren’t for you. Stick to calling people’s mothers whores, you’re better at that.

You’re the rodeo clown here. the most reasonable liberal here by far is rockhound, and he has you blocked. You might ask yourself why he did that. The most logical
and thoughtful liberal here...
