It looks like the market is not happy with his responses yet.

They arent gonna let themselves be bribed into ignoring the deaths of potentially tens of thousands of people and the result being the loss of a for profit healthcare system when we get pissed off and finally DEMAND universal healthcare.

(268,717 posts)The real swamp is the corporate grip on all policies - this is a public health crisis which required social good solutions not for profit solutions
procon
(15,805 posts)Something inside of him is broken, he's not normal and he does not respond like any reasonable person would.
Now that he's facing this world wide crisis, his defects will become even more pronounced. Remember how he treated American citizens who were trapped on cruise ships, scared, sick and dying, even denying them a port to dock because he was more worried that it would make his numbers look bad.
Now that this Corid 19 had been officially classified as a global pandemic, Trump is still singularly focused on money, and meeting with bankers today. Meanwhile, all those cruise ship passengers are being shipped off to military bases to be quarantined and he can't even make a simple statement about his fake concern for their health.
Money and being a TV president - it's all a reality show to him - realities like epidemics and pandemics have no meaning to this defective lunatic.
