It is the economy.

We have almost 20 million unemployed.
We have a -6.5% GDP growth (ie contraction)
We have trillions in new debt and deficit spending out the wazoo.

Yes, the stock market is up from its lows, but the stock market doesn't equal the economy.


We have almost 20 million unemployed, because we ordered businesses to close and paid people to stay home.

Did you just call the stock market the economy?

And these were ordered because the President failed to otherwise prepare for a pandemic. The business were already suffering. The Fed showed that the recession started in February. Trump didn't acknowledge the pandemic until March and it is June and we still don't have the testing and tracing protocols in place. Without that, the public generally doesn't feel safe to travel, to eat at restaurants or to ride elevators in office buildings. Solve or address the virus and the economy can rebound. Somehow a myraid of other countries have been able to do this. it just exposes how horrible a leader Trump is.


I'd love to hear how you would "solve" the virus. Should we be like China and just weld people shut in their homes?



Let me guess - you're one of these selfish azzholes who can't be bothered to wear a mask. Amiright?

80k over a whole flu season is a lot less than 115,000 and counting in three months with no end in sight.

See the difference?


They're both viruses... no difference except a little more deaths. Thanks to China the economy is suffering over the short term


So you're willing to die? Of course though the people dying are healthcare workers and "essential" workers, largely black and Latino, ordered to work to keep f**kers like you comfortable. We can't get lucky enough for you hypocrites to be the ones dropping.

It's not that it is the best, it is being totally propped by the Fed, but go ahead and put all the chips into the DOW.

ADP reported 2.3m. economists predicted 2.9m. that's a 600k miss even with the govt giving businesses free money to rehire.

It was just stark incompetence and lack of planning that caused the problems.

California is locking down.

Bars are being closed all over the country, with other sectors soon to follow.

We aren't even out of the first wave, yet most of the world is moving on.

The US is going to get economically crushed.

Thanks Trump!

The same experts forecasted a negative 500k in jobs for May, which came in 3 million higher... silly lefties!

Lol, PPP. The government gave FREE money to businesses to put people back on the payroll for 6 weeks. Guess what's about to expire?

1 out of 12 businesses that got PPP have gone bankrupt so far. The program was six weeks long. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
