He'll appear in the morning, chest out with that stupid smirk on his mug and we will have to listen to his statements about his greatest achievements that he has reached more than any president in history...bigly!

Shame on you!

In the "greatest economic comeback ever" basket. He realized it was just too damn hard to do it responsibly and would take too long. He has to make it happen by at least October.

Claims an astounding pent up demand. Which may be true but for two things..1) there won't be a magic day when everyone will go out and spend $, it will be gradual and 2) material things aren't as center stage as usual to people during a life and death situation.
