Dopey Donald has broken the stock market ... Markets plummet as coronavirus cases climb ...

[okfine]

Donald Trump has been feeding the stock market bulls on bullshit and now the market is crashing as the coronavirus exposes Donald Trump's incompetence.

Dopey Donald Trump is now floating payroll tax reductions which will feed the budget deficit demons and render the Federal Government debt uncontrollable.

The only tools Dopey Donald has left are lies, bullshit, spending and debt, but they won't fix the current coronavirus effect on the economy which is likely to cause a recession as the GDP growth turns negative.

Dopey "Donald Trump will soon find lies don’t kill a virus." Honesty and competence are not in Dopey Donald's repertoire.

President Donald Trump will soon find lies don’t kill a virus.

He can deflect and reassure Americans the novel coronavirus outbreak is “totally under control” until his tweeting fingers are raw, but the virus won’t care. It will spread. Viruses are stubborn like that, best contained by honesty and competence, not bluster. ...

Can you say Trump Virus?

 

[Mac-7]

Flu mortality rate is 0.1 percent.

Coronavirus mortality rate is 2 percent. At least 20 times higher than the flu.


And there is no vaccine for coronavirus.

Due to a lack of test kits shipped from china not everyone has been tested

the last reports from south korea have a death rate of .6%

which is still higher than the common flu but not the end of mankind

Hopefully the market will realize it has over-reacted to this thing soon.

It's possible that we could literally talk ourselves into a recession, and we're certainly trying.

What we probably need most is some positive news, and maybe that will wake folks up and calm them down. But it does have to happen soon.

blame the media and any partisan politician. taking your money

 

[Mac-7]

Most people require no treatment. Except for a small percentage of the population this virus is little more than the common cold on steroids.

The going rate is 20% hospitalization and 2% death. That is HUGE.

Anyone above the age of 55 is thinking twice about how they are going about their life for the next half a year.

2% of 20%?

thats not worth destroying the world economy over

NO, 2% of all who get infected.

Its still not worth destroying the world economy

Thats not how the world works. There is not a central descision making.

There are governments, organizations and indivuals who are acting on risk information as it is coming in.

True

human nature leans toward overreacting

 

[jc456]

I knew he’d get blamed for the virus.

He is not being blamed for the virus. He is being blamed for his incompetent response which includes his lying and misinforming citizens.

hahahahahahahaha name the incompetency

Moron...it was Saudi Arabia and Russia who tanked the market for now over oil prices....you doofus...

Donald Trump's resignation or imprisonment would be good news.

Well, since neither one of those things are likely to happen, we'll have to look elsewhere, assuming we're hoping for the best.

Like a promise of more tax cuts

Golfing Gator: What is a payroll tax cut? Is that a benefit to employers or workers?

I was relieved to read this a.m. in the local paper that he is working on relief for hourly workers who need to stay home due to the virus/any restrictions on attendance.

I love it that gator doesn't understand what an hourly worker is.

Coronavirus mortality rate is 2 percent. At least 20 times higher than the flu.

And there is no vaccine for coronavirus.

3.4% is the current WHO mortality estimate. But it will go much higher.

No...the democrats are trying......the democrats in the press, the democrat party working with the democrats in the press...if they reported this accurately, that it was Saudi Arabia and Russia playing with the oil prices, and that the Corona virus is no more a problem than the regular flu is, we wouldn't have the hysteria....

But then that wouldn't help the doddering joe biden....

it will? how do you know? or are you talking out your ass as normal?

 

[toobfreak]

You beat me to it.

I'm sorry, why should Trump resign again?

• Because the Chinese let loose a virus causing global fears?
• Because the Saudis and Russians are in an oil war?
• Because it is cloudy in Montana 260 days a year?
• Because the price of Corn Pops just went up?
• Because they just canceled reruns of your favorite: "Mama's Family?"
• Because the Democrats STILL don't have a clue how to beat him at the polls in 8 months?

And I won't even try asking you what you think he should be in prison for:

• For beating Hillary Clinton?
• For not being a Russian spy?
• For not being impeached for power he never abused nor subpoenas he never ignored?
• For being called a God by 125,000 Indians?
• For still being on the ballot for 2020?

You forgot....

Because the likely democrat nominee can't remember where he is, who he is married to, who was the President when he was Vice President, can't complete sentences, and now can't stand for long periods of time and needs a chair for the debate....

I did. He made the pandemic all about himself. He's a super-genius and would be the best doctor ever. During a visit to the Centers for Disease Control in the middle of a grave crisis, the mad clown wore a campaign hat!
