I am wondering about that too. The economy goes in cycles and we are overdue for a downswing. This might just be the tipping point. I am just saying it wasn't something manufactured conspiracy to take down President Trump.

Fact is if you have diabetes, smoke, heart disease, and/or are over 60 there is a decent chance you won't be around to vote this fall.
no one from the cdc or who is saying it's inevitable that it will spread to and around the US.

but it probably will.

The man is either a publicity wh*re who will say any lie for attention and ratings or he’s certifiably insane.
Because the left, aka the CPUSA, weaponizes EVERYTHING and will blame Trump for everything including gravity, friction, and dark nights, and give Trump no credit for anything.

The MSM do not report facts, they report emotional/hysterical agitprop, and most of their purveyors know very little outside of their little worlds. If you enjoy NPR, stay with NPR.

The economy is roaring, the market is way up, employment is up, incomes are up, optimism is up, our military which was decimated under zero (and burned out by W, and before that whittled down under Clinton and "Peace Dividend" Poopy Bush) has been rebuilt, if Hillary were POTUS they'd be singing her praises to high heaven, rolling on the floor foaming at the mouth extolling her magnificent brilliance and incredible management of the economy, her amazing way with world leaders.

The agitprop left is already blaming Trump for being asleep at the switch regarding corona virus. Yet we in the US have been on top of this, unlike Red China whose policy is deny deny deny, and punish the docs who tried to give a heads-up early on.

Today, right now, there are 57 cases reported in the USA. We have miles to go before epidemic or pandemic territory is reached. Miles to go.

Default Trump says coronavirus 'under control' in US, problem going to 'go away', while CDC warns Americans to prepare

Gaslighter in chief is at it again. Supposedly throwing major tantrums in the oval office as well with the Dow have its worse two day stretch on history. Maybe he'll fire the head of the CDC now for not sticking with alternative facts

This may be the black swan that finally does Trump in:

I just go by what the MSM headlines say. If they are sensationalizing it, I know it's bogus. If they are making light of it, I will then know it's bad.

Default Trump Has Sabotaged America’s Coronavirus Response

Why would he do such foolish thing? The answer is awkwardly simple: because it was created by Obama, and everything created by Obama must be destroyed.

Trump Has Sabotaged America’s Coronavirus Response

As it improvises its way through a public health crisis, the United States has never been less prepared for a pandemic.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31...ency-response/

For the United States, the answers are especially worrying because the government has intentionally rendered itself incapable. In 2018, the Trump administration fired the government’s entire pandemic response chain of command, including the White House management infrastructure. In numerous phone calls and emails with key agencies across the U.S. government, the only consistent response I encountered was distressed confusion.

If the United States still has a clear chain of command for pandemic response, the White House urgently needs to clarify what it is—not just for the public but for the government itself, which largely finds itself in the dark.
