That said, is it possible that there are elements in America and the Deep State that are chatting up a pandemic to bring about a recession and the demise of Trump?

yup        and many are RIGHT HERE on FR

I think it's possible to be worried about coronavirus and be a card-carrying Deplorable. It's not like China is ruled by a transparent government, there have been a few oops moments Stateside, and there so much information AND misinformation it can be hard to keep track of which side is up.

The problem arises when a Deplorable's natural distrust of the govt is manipulated in a judo move to derail Trump. And, to be fair, if it's a tossup between protecting one's family and defending the President, most people will side with their family.

Thus, I don't believe many FReepers are pushing panic to derail Trump. But it is possible that they are being played.
