Anyone who is looking to the U.S. for hope hasn't been paying attention for the last three years. This administration's utter lack of competence and integrity is coming home to roost now. This market crash is going to be worse than it had to be because absolutely no one anywhere on the planet has any confidence in Trump to handle this competently. And judging by the way it has gone so far, they are right to feel that way.
You've got it backwards, because so far Trump is the only calm person in the room, while Democrats are losing their minds-

The Associated Press is calling out two leading Democratic presidential candidates for what the outlet says were inaccurate comments about the government's ability to address diseases like the coronavirus.
Former Vice President Joe Biden and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg were "both wrong" to say critical health agencies faced funding cuts. While discussing the coronavirus during Tuesday's debate, those candidates blamed President Trump for restricting resources for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH).
“There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And he’s defunded — he’s defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing," Bloomberg said.
Biden similarly indicated Trump reversed the Obama-Biden administration's budget increases to those agencies.
“We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. ... He’s wiped all that out. ... He cut the funding for the entire effort," he said.
But according to the AP, Trump's proposed budget cuts never went into effect. Funding to fight the latest outbreak also came from a congressional fund created for health emergencies.
Some public health experts say a bigger concern than White House budgets is the steady erosion of a CDC grant program for state and local public health emergency preparedness — the front lines in detecting and battling new disease. But that decline was set in motion by a congressional budget measure that predates Trump.
Trump also took credit for the stock market rise on many occasions. He takes ownership only when things go well, but places blame elsewhere when things are going well.
He’s the epitome of a SNOWFLAKE. You know, the same ilk the Trump hypocrites lament about.
What they fail to see is their supreme daddy is the biggest of them all.
“Waaaahhhh!! The democrats made the market fall!!”
KUDLOW "We have it all under control. My experience as an aged talking head on a unwatched TV show gives me the chops to deal with this virus AND our economy. My previous eIxperience as a trickle downer....gives me the experience to make sure my own nest is featured at the expense of everyone else".
I'm glad our "best people" like Larry are in charge at the very top.
Apparently you didn’t listen to his ‘Coronavirus presser’.
Or if you did maybe your red tinted glasses were on. Commodities dropped AS HE WAS SPEAKING. And it wasn’t coincidental.
There is no faith in Trumps ability to manage it and the markets react accordingly.
Which side is panicking? Definitely not Trump.
In the past week Pelosi, Biden and Bloomberg have all failed to keep their emotions in check, and that is why they'll never be President.
Markets all around the world are declining because of the virus, nothing to do with Trump.
You think your deranged Democrats could stop the virus and keep the market afloat?
