The only way that he hurts himself is if he tries to dismiss this. All he has to do is to tell the American people that prior to this our economy was full steam ahead....and it will be again eventually. Short term there might be some pain, but he needs to LEAD on this and not try to sugarcoat because if the virus does impact the U.S. directly and people start dying and he buried his head in the sand to try and save face on the economy.....it could be bad news for him in November.
Shut the front door! You know he's going to blame it on Democrats and illegals.


Seriously, 3 republicans called into CSPAN yesterday saying the Dow dropped b/c illegals were coming in and infecting everyone. That's his base.

F’ucking NY announced 83 people being monitored, and the Dow goes from 100+ to a couple hundred town in minutes. Why do they have to announce that shit when the markets are open?

Meh. I’m down 3.2% for the year but this will pass. My contributions just buy more positions.

Just callin 'em as I see 'em. :thumb: There is absolutely NO reason for President Trump to cover up anything associated with the Corona Virus. Every American knows that he didn't start it! He can comfort people and let them know that the government will be there to help manage this public health emergency......but for the love of God, Mr. President.......DO NOT FREAK OUT and lie, hide, sugarcoat, etc on this one thing!!! I do not want Bernie Sanders to be our next President! :x :ohno:

This one is easy, Donald.....do not fuck it up! :thumb:

Watching the press thing with the HHS Secretary doing the "Under the President's Leadership" thing. Then I look up his bio:
an American attorney, politician, pharmaceutical lobbyist, and former drug company executive who serves as the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services,
Oh yeah. That's a REAL authority to be talking about this situation.

I didn't even realize it until this happened. But, wow, that's the person we have as the Secretary of HHS. An attorney, politician, pharmaceutical lobbyist, and drug company executive. That's just wonderful.

He was completely on point. What do you want him to do? Wave a fucking wand and make China get their shit together?

Your TDS is more a danger to your health than Coronavirus.

Why the fvck do you care?

Remember the guy who just a day or so ago on this here forum right here saying that this virus was probably no big deal... sorta like the flu?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ yeah that was YOU

So it sounds to me that the HHS Secretary is in fact more qualified than you to be an “expert” on the matter because at least he is informed

This IS a big deal and Trump isn’t handling it very well thus far : https://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit ... ronavirus/

But you have zero credibility being up in arms about this given your completely ignorant stance on the matter as recently as yesterday. Hell, you might as well have been the WH spokesman

For the left its never let a crisis go to waste. The left is weaponizing the Coronavirus against Trump. No doubt in my mind that most of the left would root for a major breakout in the US if they thought it would cause Trump to lose in Nov..

No doubt. They are also most likely thrilled to see the economy (at least the DOW) tank, which is what they wanted to see from day 1 of his Presidency.

That said, Trump needs to handle this issue well.

Dude, the criticism is completely warranted.

Your boy hasn't taken anything seriously - still isn't - and just appointed Mike Pence as the coronavirus tsar. This is the same Mike Pence who enabled freakin' HIV to have an outbreak in Indiana. What knowledge or experience does Pence have to lead this thing?

Go take your "woe is Trump" sob story to Breitbart's comment section where it belongs.

FWIW, as a member of the left, I want the economy to do well and have wanted that from day 1. Im also not going to wait for the government to protect me regardless of who is in office.

Our collective weakness lies in the assumption that there is someone (government, scientists, our parents, God) in control of everything.

People need to stop criticizing Trump & Pence. They are our President & Vice President! I'm glad that President Trump put Vice President Pence in charge of the Corona Virus. He is not only a smart level headed person.....but he has a close personal relationship with God. Maybe he can pray the virus away. :nod: :thumb:
