About Coronovirus Trump said, "So from that standpoint, I think probably there's a positive impact."

Perhaps the stupidest, insensitive thing Trump has said about the "Positive Impact of Coronavirus."

Trump said this today, and here are exact words, ( 3rd & 4th paragraphs down from top at link)

Trump said the airlines would be hit from a fall in overseas travel related to the virus.

"It's affecting the airline business, as it would. And a lot of people are staying in our country and they're shopping and using our hotels in this country, so from that standpoint I think probably there's a positive impact, but there's also an impact on overseas travel which will be fairly substantial," Trump said.

Yes, this will be how Trump is always remembered. The above words. Hard to believe he could get lower, but he did today. March 4, 1920

The markets are plummeting & the Fed cut rates, because all new domestic spending is a positive?
