OK, you Libs ... since the Trump bull market was, according to you, really an extension of the Obama recovery, is the current stock market collapse also due to Barry’s 2016 economic decisions? Or, for that matter, did Obama somehow also start the COvID-19 pandemic to upend Trump?
The market collapse is a simply reflection of investor confidence, or lack thereof.
ReplyDeleteIn 2017, Obama officials briefed Trump's team on dealing with a pandemic like the coronavirus. One Cabinet member reportedly fell asleep, and others didn't want to be there. Was this fake news? Trump, March 9: "you can never really think that something like this might happen." Trump, March 17: "I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."
Pretty logical for investors to be spooked by such desultory "leadership." I think folks are starting to realize that the guy who ran Trump Air, Trump Univ. and Taj Mahal, et al into bankruptcy is probably going to do the same thing with the USA.
Obama’s approach to pandemics: Declare a 2009 national emergency during the swine flu pandemic when we lost 1,000 lives in the US ... eventually deaths hit 14,000. This thing now is nowhere near those numbers. Also it seems that the CDC never saw it’s responsibility to develop testing that worked then or would work now. I think I would have fallen asleep too.
ReplyDeleteYou are parroting Faux misinformation about Obama's response. Check Snopes for documented sequence of events.
ReplyDeleteWashington Post: "on April 26, the Obama administration declared a public health emergency, before any American had been killed by the swine flu..."
Maybe you slept through the briefing that corrected Trumps fact-checked lies about 2009.
Dueling fake news. I have never read a Snopes “fact-check” that wasn’t biased.
ReplyDeleteBTW, we are talking about a “national emergency” ... not a public health emergency ... different animals.
