Same old shite, all talk, no plan
President Donald Trump on Monday said that hed be holding a press conference on Tuesday in which hed outline his plan to combat the economic damage being done by the coronavirus pandemic.
Theres just one problem: CNBC reports that there actually is no plan yet.
Trump administration officials are telling the network that the White House is not ready to roll out specific economic proposals in its response to the widening impact of the coronavirus outbreak, despite Trumps declaration that these proposals would be rolled out on Tuesday.
In fact, sources tell CNBC that some officials were stunned by Trumps claim Monday that he would hold a press conference Tuesday to announce an economic plan, and one official tells the network that Trumps declaration was news to everyone on the inside.
Another official tells CNBC that the economic proposals are not there right now, while adding that a lot of details need to be worked out.

His economic plan is tax breaks for the rich, more deregulation, and asking everyone

Trump should have waved some blank papers around. That is always convincing.
