Let’s compare the Dow Jones index at the end of trading yesterday to the day before Trump’s inauguration:
January 19, 2017 – 19,732.40
March 20, 2020 – 19,178.98
All of the gains that he was constantly boasting about have been lost. Estimates of unemployment in the 3rd quarter are upwards of 20%. Instant economic Depression! As predicted by many of Trump’s critics, he is incapable of handling the demands and strain of a genuine crisis.
Trump’s telling governors that it’s up to them to do the Federal government’s job of providing emergency medical equipment, and he’s falsely claiming an anti-malaria drug will protect against the virus — with Dr. Fauchi standing right behind him! Then he went totally ballistic on a reporter. He usually saves this level of hate for black women.
Trump must be tremendously (he loves that word) frustrated, being denied the love of loyal supporters at his rallies. Remember all of those right-wing-nuts saying that Bill Clinton was “unhinged?”
