It's clear to some where his focus was at that time, and it's clear in the tweet. It's also clear to me that Monday's crash finally got him to change focus. He's been a different person on this since then, and I'm glad to see it. He's finally acting presidential, wrt virus. We weren't offered any test kits from WHO. The test kits we had were not reliable and gave out about 40% false negatives and 40% false positives. We sent them out and when we found out about the problems we recalled them. We quickly revised the test and it took a little time to verify their reliability. You seem just a little too anxious to find blame, as long as it can be placed on Trump. 2

You are the last person in America arguing that point. Everyone else moved on admitting, or ignoring, their error. The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. You can find the subject of a sentence if you can find the verb. Ask the question, "Who or what 'verbs' or 'verbed'?" and the answer to that question is the subject. The Democrats. Back to the thread.

Mueller investigation was a hoax since Mueller knew there was no conspiracy before he took the job. Ukrainian impeachment was a hoax since it was readily apparent the day after Nancy Pelosi called for impeachment. Now there are several mini hoaxes having to do with the response to the coronavirus. Yes well the 'hop aboard and hate America platform' isn't all that great for everyone.

However China should be writing off hundreds of billions in debt they bought throughout the years from various nations impacted. That would be a start. How you collect on that? I would say a good place to start would be economic pressure. Trump was also slow to act, downplayed the danger, contradicted the experts, tried cutting funding to CDC, disbanded the pandemic control board, should he be sanctioned? Seriously. The Chinese dictator sure screwed up, but where they the only ones that discounted the science? 2

Seriously. I know ?thrives on his (negative) attention, but he appears to be out of ammunition ( especially now that multiple democrat/media figures have come out and praised President Trump's actions) he repeats and repeats ................reminds me of his Russia folly. . 1

I have a friend who voted for Trump who now hates him. We were all texting last night about the Bills moves and I said he should get his season ticket again. After 34 years he dropped his last year.............He said he doesn't have the money because of President Dow. How can anybody blame Trump for this economy. I checked the Euro market today and it's worse than the Dow. I'm at a loss. 2

Presidents in general always get too much credit or blame for the economy. The President and his administration made many purposeful moves to assist the Market as it climbed over the last three years. They were indeed involved. On the other hand, I’ve not heard a single person suggest one thing he, or anyone else could do to stabilize the Market’s fall in the last three weeks in the face of an unprecedented worldwide health crisis. Let’s not just do crazy talk here. With that said, this crisis will pass and the Market will rebound just as it always does.
