Guess Trump got tired of winning, since he's had a total of 0 wins in three years. That's what we get for hiring a guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times to run the richest country in the world. We're in a bear market now. Congratulations, Republicans! Enjoy your "winning" Trump economy.

American ignorance really is our biggest embarrassment, and it doesn't just come from the Oval Office.
Meh, per capita is not the be all, end all metric. Even still, according to that article we're 2nd with a GDP of $17+T, not 1st.
That is wrong. Go to a reliable source. US is still 7T more than China in 2018. China was expected to close the gap in 2020 but with the COVID-19 affecting them more than us, it might actually widen.
Some sites use EU as a country but it is not and hence one cannot compare EU to USA. But even if we did EU is still a trillion or two behind US.
Considering the tax deal last year made my husband's employer take less taxes out of his check, which makes us now responsible for paying the IRS a hefty amount of taxes for 2019, I don't like this move. IMO he needs to do like GW Bush and other countries if he wants to give us some money and issue out "stimulus" checks that won't F up people's withholding making them have to pay a large sum of money next year to the government.

He's right to downplay it. The left-wing lunatics in the media and elsewhere are doing everything they can to cause a panic that will result in economic and health damage to the United States.
This is all being done in concert to damage Trump. You're playing right along I see.
Not everything is about Trump. However in this case, as in most others, he is doing the damage to himself with his ill-informed statements.
As for the Virus - I suppose if you think hundreds/maybe thousands of preventable deaths are not an issue then maybe it's not that big a deal, (200 + people died yesterday in Italy). We don't really know because tests are not readily available in many of the most populous areas in the US.

I'm pretty sure that what was suggested will not affect INCOME tax. The withholdings that were going to be stopped, were Medicare and Social Security, according to the news I read. You don't pay those on your tax return in the Spring. They have nothing, really, to do with that.
All the same, the "tax cut" that he put out before, was in my opinion, pretty deceptive. Lowered withholdings for most, but did not cut tax liability for most. Increased it for many. Cut it most for the richest people and corporations. Anyways my actual tax liability was not reduced, it went up.
