- Donald
This summarizes where Donald is on this crisis.
His primary concern is how "the numbers" will reflect on him, and his chances for re-election.
He is also trying to fudge reality by making BLATANTLY incorrect statement regarding testing, spread of the virus, how people should deal with it, etc.
His handling of this matter is disturbing, to say the very least.
I said long ago that Donald needs to be removed because he is a clear and present danger.
When all is said and done, his dealing with the Coronavirus will be -----> Exhibit A.
The most frustrating and irritating thing about Donald is that he always tells us the bad and terrible shit he is doing, but his sycophants just make excuses for him.
I am 100% convinced that you and softball are not living in reality.
This administration is handling this crisis BETTER than the Obama administration handled H1N1.
That's a documented fact.
Every single post of yours is pure propaganda and spin.
You've been at this for years.
2012 during the election, you lied about Mitt Romney.
Nothing's changed. And that my friend IS the definition of insanity.

The Saudi stock market (open on Sunday) is down over 8% today.
Italians in line to stock up on food. (BBC - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-51787238 --- Northern Italy quarantines 16 million people .... Italians call that stockpiling? That can't be right.)
Meanwhile, Australians know what the comforts in life are, stripping shelves bare of toilet paper. I won't laugh at them, like US MSM wants to encourage. If you're lungs are filled with fluid, it has to be expectorated somewhere -- preferably not the floor.
Meanwhile, we all know sugar honey ice tea won't officially hit the fan in America until people start shooting each other at Walmart/Costco -- let's be honest.
But back to Italy's quarantine ... what is the Trump administration's response? Are they intentionally not saying anything, so that folks' lawyers don't get involved on some NIMBY shit?

Toilet paper isn't just for wiping your ass.
But I digress....
This BS propaganda in Italy is quite revealing to say the least
The italians have the best cuisine in the world, but they've been pussified by government control.
The frenchies too.
Fuck it. ALL of Europe has been sissified.

Stock futures sink deep into the red as oil prices plummet and coronavirus fears spread
By
Will Englund
March 8, 2020 at 8:47 p.m. EDT Stock futures sank deep into the red Sunday, with the Dow expected to open as much as 1,000 points down Monday morning, as a new oil war sparked by the coronavirus outbreak sent prices plummeting.
The price of West Texas Intermediate crude, largely used in the United States, fell from about $41 to $32 a barrel Sunday night, a low not seen in four years. While the tumble should lower prices at the pump for consumers, it is terrible news for stock markets, as well as oil companies and their massive workforces, which could see hard times ahead.
Asian markets plunged on the news, with Japanese stocks falling 3 percent when they opened Sunday night. Australia’s market declined 5 percent at the open. Meanwhile, the yield on the U.S. 10-year treasury momentarily slipped below .5 percent for the first time in history on Sunday night as investors fled for safe havens.
Saudi Arabia had pushed last week for a steep cut in production by OPEC countries and by those oil producers in league with OPEC, particularly Russia. The idea was to prop up prices in the wake of a global decline in demand because of the epidemic of covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. But Russia balked, not wanting to give up market share, and over the weekend, the Saudis turned 180 degrees.
They are now moving to flood the market with hundreds of thousands of barrels of additional oil per day and offering steep discounts to refineries around the world.
Analysts fear the move is the beginning of a price war between the Saudis and Russia — which will squeeze American shale oil producers as prices are heading sharply downward.
West Texas Intermediate crude, one of the industry’s price benchmarks, fell 10 percent Friday before the Saudi announcement, closing at $41.28 a barrel. By Sunday evening, it had fallen an additional 25 percent. The last time West Texas Intermediate fell below $40 was in August 2016.

Goddamn Screwy...you fucking chicken little. If you think POTUS is worried about this corona virus shit hurting the stock market, then you are full of shit. There has been more money made in the last month than the previous year.
As for dropping oil prices hurting the economy, you need to take Econ 101. I guess you did not learn that when business input costs drops, sales and profits go up.
And quoting some Wall Street hack has a source of reliable info is typical of you..posting a link that serves your take of the minute only.

Yep.
Australia is down over 6%
Japan is down nearly 6%
U.S. Futures are down 5%.
Look for an emergency rate cut -- followed soon after by the announcement of a paln to bail out wounded industries.
Or in layman's terms...
More raping of the taxpayer.

Stock Futures Were Halted Sunday Night. Here’s When S&P 500 Circuit Breakers Kick In on Monday.
Futures on the S&P 500 were halted Sunday night after they declined 5%. So-called circuit-breaker levels are the thresholds at which exchanges halt or close marketwide trading due to extreme declines. These levels are calculated daily, based on the previous day’s close in the S&P 500.
As the wild swings on Wall Street continue, here are the levels to watch for further trading curbs when U.S. markets open Monday...

No thanks, Stanley.
Enjoy your life.
Jesus is the Christ.
King of kings and LORD OF ALL.
AND if you truly understand that,
You'd have no problem choosing trump over the left wing demonic socialist government control party.
The left seeks to destroy Israel and christianity. They are incompatible with our Bill of rights.
They are completely and utterly government control thru and thru.
Real true liberals like Dr. Alan Dershowitz are few nowadays.
They are no longer in control.
Just like you study the stock market, I study politics.
And I've watched the left slowly and methodically corrupt the press, academia and the media over the last 50 plus years.
Either you're ignorant about this, OR just in plain denial.
Either way, as a Christian, you need to be vigilant and actively involved.
King of kings and LORD OF ALL.
AND if you truly understand that,
You'd have no problem choosing trump over the left wing demonic socialist government control party.

Alan Dershowitz fucked little kids, brought others into the lifestyle of fucking kids, defended kid fuckers and threatened the kids being fucked by his fellow kid fuckers.
Israel is an earthly theocracy and has nothing to do with God or with our Bill of Rights
Trump has nothing to do with God.
God is beyond earthly matters, earthly politics, the stock market, the game, the next piece you pull.

Our inept leaders are trying to blame coronavirus as the proximate cause for all of the market’s jitters.
But that masks the truth. The problems have been there for months, pushed to the back burner by incessant Fed intervention in the dollar-funding markets.
The 2008 financial crisis was never dealt with, just papered over.
The repo crisis of last September never ended, it’s still there.
And it reappeared with ferocity this week as people sold dollars and bought U.S. treasuries pushing U.S. yields on the long end of the curve to absurd levels.
Credit markets are melting down. Stock markets are the tail, credit markets are the dog. And this dog was run over by a bus.
The Fed intervenes to keep short term interest rates from rising to preserve the fiction it is still in control.
The market wants higher rates for short-term access to dollars.
The Fed tried to help by cutting rates by 0.5% but all that did was tell people the Fed was as scared as they were. The selling resumed and gold bounced back to it’s recent high near $1690, only to be swatted down on the New York open this morning.
It was beyond evident last fall, to anyone willing to really pay attention to what was going on, that the train wreck was imminent.
It is here.
The Coronavirus problem will greatly exacerbate the major foundational problems the economy already had.
It is going to be a shit show horrah the likes of which none of us has experienced.
Sob now, but if you survive it, you will one day tell your grandkids about what all went down in 2020.
Take that to the... bank.
There always is a day of reckoning.

A lot of people are going to die.
A lot of people are going to be destitute.
Many others will be hurting, physically and/or financially.
A number will be "okay," but will have had a huge chunk of their net worth shaved away, never to come back.

U.S. futures have again been halted (down about 5%) -- and now for about 2 hours.
Circuit breaker again.
Yikes!
London is down over 8%.
France is down over 7%.
Germany is down 7%.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the U.S. indexes when they open again.
Just guessing we might be looking at a 6-8% decline as the markets open this morning in NY.

Thank God JFK and Reagan didn't take your low IQ advice.
They understood that lowering taxes drives the economic engine, creating an environment for real growth in small businesses.
Reagan's policies set the stage for 20 years of massive economic growth, well into the 90's. Which wasn't Clinton by the way. He rode the Reagan wave.

New York Fed to inject at least USD 150 billion daily to financial markets
The New York Federal Reserve Bank announced Monday it will increase its daily injections of cash into financial markets by USD 50 billion to USD 150 billion as a protective step amid the coronavirus epidemic.
The increase "should help support smooth functioning of funding markets as market participants implement business resiliency plans in response to the coronavirus," the New York Fed said in a statement...
