3. Now the corona virus and stocks, next the recession

Mar 2020

It’s really just starting. The pandemic is going to end up killing many old people. Not that he cares, probably be glad to not have to shell out the SS payments they were collecting. But it will be seen by the large older white crowd and as they slowly start opening their eyes they are going to know Trump was at fault. Then the crashing stock markets will hurt his rich friends, but the two together will put us in a long deep recession that ought to be fairly obvious and painful by Election Day. The recession is going to hurt most everyone, but younger workers trying to enter the work force will have a hard time finding jobs. Older folks that were looking to retirement will see their 401s collapse and his rich buddies will pull their usual go to fix out: lay-off older highly paid workers, cut benefits, ship jobs overseas. Then the rethugs are going to realize trump is going down and will start abandoning ship.

Then people will start wanting their president to do something. Not just golf and have endless campaign rallies to stroke his fragile ego and provide. Steady stream of profits. Then all the rich folks who have been using Trump properties to get in his good side will avoid them, not wanted to be associated with the Trump name, which by the way was just ruled in Europe to not have any value. Most Americans already knew that and once it’s obvious he is a liability even the Russians will cut and run.
