““The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries,” Trump tweeted. “CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

Here’s hoping.

Not a single case confirmed in my state....but I suspect if there’s tax payer dollars about to be handed out to states they’ll suddenly find cases.

Stock market looks very good to me? Dropped over 1000 points today.

Asking for 2.5 billion and saying the falling stock #s are good.

Trying to tell us something?

just the flu

Careful, you’re falling for the deep state narrative that’s hoping to be able to blame this on Trump.

It’s a low IQ idea, and it will bear as much fruit as Page, Strzok, Comey, Mueller, and the impeachment.

The single greatest threat to the reelection of President Trump is the coronavirus threat to lives.

The second greatest threat to the reelection of President Trump is the threat to the economy posed by the coronavirus.

The third greatest threat to the reelection of the president is the healthcare/health insurance issue.

All three of these threats coalesce in how the president handles the pandemic which is sure to engulf America. How he is seem to be handling a massive health, economic and and health insurance coverage problem will decide the election. Not incidentally, we lost the 2018 election and along with it the House of Representatives mainly on the healthcare/health insurance issue.

The federal government spends about 4 1/2 trillion dollars a year and goes into deficit to do that to the tune of $1 trillion. Put it into perspective: the Trump administration is leaving itself open to losing the winning majority on all of these threats for a lousy couple of billion dollars from $4.5 trillion!

The administration should double, triple or quadruple the amount of money it is submitting to Congress. This is one issue where the Republicans should never let the Democrats get to their left. This is the decisive issue of the election. Do not get behind, do not play catch-up.

I've been saying for weeks, the Republicans have got to get in front of this issue and stay there. This is no place to be penny wise.
