Even amid a roaring pandemic, there are currently two Americas: “Unemployment America” and “Stock Market America”, dueling lenses to view the same country.

Unemployment America is bleak but in Stock Market America things are looking up. Taken together, this split reality portends a rough ride for the president’s re-election bid and even greater national discord. Donald Trump has every reason to worry.

In a conversation with the Guardian, a connected Trump campaign adviser took pride in the market’s April advance, expressed displeasure with the word choices of Trump’s economic advisers, and remained mute with regard to recent job losses.

In Trump’s world, it’s the “stock market, stupid”. No wonder Jared Kushner boasts that the administration coronavirus response “is a great success story”, and opines “that’s really what needs to be told.” Can you say, “Mission Accomplished 2.0”?

1. No president has been reelected when unemployment exceeded 30%

In 2016 Trump blamed our problems on foreigners from the south. This time he will blame our problems on foreigners in China.

Straight out of Demagoguery 101 class.

2. It's all the winning...

It's all the winning. The winning is doing us in. Too much! HELP!

3. trump and the Republicans

Are trying desperately to stiff the American people now by dragging their feet on getting direct monthly payments to the American people, and are against it. trump was against anything he couldn't get his hands on, and if they do prevent it expect this to drive us into a deep depression from it. Nov. can't get here fast enough to oust them, if trump doesn't claim martial law to stay in office from his instigation of conflict and unrest, which he has continued doing. He's trying to start unrest.
