Until things get too hot for the Trump supporters and this one is shut down, too. Meanwhile, there is no dearth of "Joe Biden is senile" type threads that never are threatened with shut down. It's a great indication of the slant of this board.
No doubt, the standards are not evenly applied. The management definitely consists of 60+ year old MAGA hat wearers. The makeup of the board has changed quite a bit in the past 24 months because of it. Not an even discussion anymore, which is sad.
Many Republicans are downplaying the threat of the virus and some may be doing so or thinking so in the context of its political impact if it triggers an economic downturn before the election.
A whole lotta mixed messaging from the Administration going on, right now.
Trump tweeting analogies with season flu vs CDC denying freedom to 3500 cruise ship passengers, most of whom are not sick while they figure out how to transport them to various 14 day quarantines in the US
Try to hide your delight that the stock market is overreacting, and your eagerness to falsely blame Trump. It's a last-ditch attempt to try to win the election. Too bad it will all be over by November, and you'll be left with nothing other than a demented old man trying to unseat Trump.
We can only hope, but you or anyone else don't have a clue when this will all be over. But, regardless Trump will judged on how he handles this crisis on his watch.
Sure. Can't blame him for coronavirus. In fact, it would have been worse under Biden since he would have let the planes continue in from China. He called Trump a xenophobe (liberals never resist a chance to play the race card) for shutting down flights.
But, we can blame him on how he deals with it, and his leadership during this crisis.
I guess this is now the place to discuss the market since the other ongoing TWO year old thread praising Trump for its rise seems to have been permanantly shut down today (ironically just as the market was).
Just as Trump was not much responsible for its rise, he is not entirely to blame for its cataclysmic drop, the biggest in history. The President has very little sway over the market as it is the product of many many factors which no single entity can control.
While all presidents take credit for rising markets, none have done so to the extent Trump has. It has been beyond cringe- worthy because no POTUS controls the market.
But, we can blame him on how he deals with it, and his leadership during this crisis.
Absolutely. It's Trump and his administration who have been in charge from the get go. They botched the initial response so we are way behind the curve. People can say it's both sides, but from what I can tell there's only one side who is in charge regarding this virus.
Someone mentioned bailouts for airlines as too big to fail. But ironically, after years of trying various methods to drive down prices, we may be bailing out the oil industry. Being tied to national security it will be a no vote executive order.
I anticipate a Stimulus Package will be forthcoming.

Agreed. Which is fine, it's their board they can do what they wish with it. For everyone outside the few dozen in the echo chamber circle it gets boring pretty quickly.
The issue is the market does not have confidence in how the President handles this outbreak. So far the market is correct.
Exactly, it's all about how he handles it. I also agree the public don't have the confidence, this administration is going about it in the best way.
