GDP Growth -4.8%
US Unemployment Rate 14.7%
Dow is down 5,000 points
Oh and Covid-19 is not even close to being under control etc.

These numbers are disastrous but are not really a surprise given Donald Trump's personal record as a business failure and fraud. The national economy is now an expanded version of the Trump organization, only no smoke and mirrors to conceal the facts from the public.

What measures can California take at this point? Any ideas?

End the electoral college to ensure our popular vote counts during the November election.

This isn’t a Trump issue, it’s a virus issue. Anyone that wasn’t so biased could see that. I’m actually surprised that even you could blame Trump, but I shouldn’t be.

Voting Newsom out would be a good start to protect the state. He did good at the beginning but gets a failing grade on reopening, or the lack thereof.

While his handling of COVID is questionable, you'll have to explain to me how ANY president could have avoided the business downturn we have right now.

It's a nice 'what about-ism' for the hole Money Grabbin' Gavin has been digging for CA with all of the 'free stuff'.

The HCOL and woke-ism is what will cause CA to spiral down.

Haha you seem a bit sour.

This thread is about California and how we are suffering due to the inaction and outright dereliction of duty by this president.

I want to know how we can protect our state.

We had a surplus and a $16B rainy day fund until Trump ignored early warnings of this virus that is now a pandemic, and states have been left to fend for themselves.

We needed a leader but instead we got a weasel.

You really are a piece of work. Tell us EXACTLY how this is the Presidents fault? What industry and/or businesses did the President SHUT DOWN? Besides closing down travel into this country from certain areas of the world, please tell me EXACTLY what the Federal government had ORDERED done within its borders.



And your claim of ignoring early warnings are so full of it that I cannot believe you actually claimed to believe it in public. Or don't you remember when the President shut down travel from China, he was called racist and Pelosi was saying come on down to China Town.


What a bunch of crap.


And no, I do NOT watch Faux news. If I watch news its CNN, MSNBC, Al Jezeera, ABC, Newsy, etc.
