Why Trump is in a panic over Coronavirus

[RAB910]

No doubt he has been told that this virus is going to tank the world (and the US) economy. This conman knows that if you take away the booming economy that President Obama left him, all he has left is being a really really really terrible person.

1. I don't think he's been told that

he surrounds himself with sycophants and yes-men who don't tell him the real story because they're afraid of getting yelled at

3. FOX news has been reporting on the stock market

so there's that

6. Stock market going down doesn't mean the economy

will tank though.

[RAB910]

7. In many cases that is true

However, in this case the market is tanking in anticipation of the recession that will be caused by this disease.


I work in public health and I am an avid investor. I can tell you this disease has already made a huge negative impact on the world economy and that impact is only getting worse

2. It's all he knows to do...smug self-confidence or hair on fire panic...

4. To Trump, it is about MONEY.....

With cuts to the CDC, is it any wonder why he is so unprepared to deal with this crisis? It is about how much money this is costing HIM, as well as how much money HE can make.

Right now, Trump is blaming Democrats, MSNBC and CNN for the fears of the Coronavirus.

5. we are hurt not just be the cuts in the CDC

Trump's unstable administration and loyalty tests have driven most of the competent people out of critical roles throughout the government. The loyalist that are left are ill-equipped to deal with this crisis

8. "... a really really really terrible person."

that's why his dolt supporters love him!

Putin's economy is 1/6 the size of the US.

9. True, but his cult following while large isn't big enough to carry the day

He still needs others to get him close enough for the steal

10. It is all about him. The corona virus will make him look bad

Especially the incompetence that his administration will demonstrate.

Therefore action #1 will be to blame the Democrats.

[not_the_one]

12. You summed him up, in a nutshell.

He is NOTHING but optics.

[rurallib]

13. Forgot to mention that he will also blame the press for reporting

on the virus at all.

11. Any deaths reported including your

Dad is fake news.
