He won't listen to anyone but Stephen Miller who gives two shits about the stock market.

I had complete confidence Trump was going to make everything worse. I just didn't know how he'd make it worse.

More people seem to be waking up to the reality of the person in charge of the country right now. Whether it's because of their health, or their 401K, things dont look so rosy all of a sudden and people are freaking out because of who is in charge.

Hopefully they don't go back to sleep.

Like i've said for a few days - the longer this goes on and worse this gets, the better the chance of ousting him in the fall. If this goes away quick and doesn't leave a strong enough impact.... or if he some how gains a strong leadership image from this?

Luckily, hes an idiot who doesn't realize that he could be flipping this to his benefit if he handled it well LOL.

He's has failed to leverage anything that a better president could have used to show leadership. The natural disasters. The situations with Iran or Syria. You name it.

Same. Mine are getting cabin fever and want me to their house for some reason too. At least it gave me a chance to debunk them of some things over the phone. I'm like, "YOU'RE RETIRED."

That address was so bad that I realized that, for all my hatred of Bloomberg, I would have voted for him in November when it came down to it.

And Bloomberg is a more competent Trump in 90% of his ways. It's that last 10% that drove me over the edge.

Fuck.. Now Pence puts out a dumbass statement.... Great

CAN THESE MOTHER FUCKERS GET THE MESSAGE STRAIGHT?!?!

Tonight, President @realDonaldTrump took decisive action in suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days and ensuring that working Americans affected by the Coronavirus can stay home without financial hardship.

Feels like we passed a tipping point in the last few hours.

And airlines are freaking out right now. I guarantee they did not get a heads up.

Not a damn thing. Here is what he claimed though:

To ensure that working Americans impacted by the virus can stay home without fear of financial hardship, I will soon be taking emergency action, which is unprecedented, to provide financial relief. This will be targeted for workers who are ill, quarantined or caring for others due to coronavirus. I will be asking Congress to take legislative action to extend this relief.

The House just revealed their bill tonight, which will certainly be rejected. The Senate earlier rejected another bill for this

Trump refuses to speak to Pelosi because he got impeached, so good luck getting anything done

I half expect the economy to crater so hard in the next quarter, any dead cat bounce in the next will be passed off as "see, not a recession!"

HIS HEALTH OFFICIALS LET A BUNCH OF CONFIRMED CASES WANDER BACK INTO THE GENERAL POPULATION. THERE IS STILL NO ACCESSIBLE TESTING. THE FIRST THING TRUMP DID ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS WAS WHINE ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET.

Nothing. They're in over their heads and his top adviser is Miller who is a 1-trick pony

The WHO has already noted previously that it won't do anything. In fact, they say it's counter productive

Updated WHO recommendations for international traffic in relation to COVID-19 outbreak

This document provides updated recommendations for international traffic in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak, in light of the rapidly evolving situation. It supersedes the advice published on 27 January 2020.On 30 January 2020, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, following...

It's common sense, frankly. The virus is already here and the ban is selective anyway

It would be one thing if the stock markets were falling because Trump was making hard choices that caused short-term hurt to get us in a better position for the long-term.

The problem is a travel ban is completely insufficient at this stage because the virus is already on US shores by the thousands. So his actions are causing the markets to crash without even addressing the underline problem with meaningful action.

metalslimer · Mar 12, 2020

This, Trump's inability to back the one thing with an immediate benefit, basic social distancing and move faster on testing means that the uncertainty of outcomes is through the roof.

All Wall St. wants is levelheaded action to get us to the point of stable case numbers and a slow return to normalized production.
