Mother of God - please make it STOP

[aquamarina]

Every time, every single time he opens his mouth he just makes it worse. Every. Single. Time.

Can’t wait to see how the markets react to this latest attempt to keep calm and carry on.

So his big virus busting plans include a payroll tax cut and stopping all flights to the mighty US of A from every European country except the UK.

Well that’s sure to fix everything because it’s not like a payroll tax cut will help those poor souls who lose their jobs - meaning their paycheck and any ability to actually take advantage of a payroll tax cut, not to mention the likely negative impact on Medicare and Social Security - you know those pesky entitlement programs that go to people who are actually at higher risk of catching this virus. Or how about those asymptotic carriers who get on planes in Paris or Berlin or Geneva or Brussels, fly to London where they then hop a plane to JFK or LAX or Atlanta or Miami. But hey Trump’s got this handled. Easy peasy.

If it wasn’t for the calming purrs if my cats I swear I would blow a gasket. I am not a doomsday person but if this keeps up, our country is going to be in complete shambles by Election Day. My god he needs to shut the hell up. Complete Fubar.

1. Cats are helping preserve my sanity.

I wish my cats and I could escape to a cabin in the woods for the next six months.

2. Markets are already reacting.

The Dow Futures dropped 1% a couple of minutes into his speech. The markets realize that there isn't a plan.

Now Dow Futures are down 800 or so.

I am afraid the word is out.

Being retired my house cats will see a lot of me.
