I'm looking for the clip I saw on MSNBC ths a.m. where he was answering questions being shouted to him. He said something to the effect (and I'm paraphrasing here cause if you weren't listening closely you might have missed it) 'the market will rebound at the right time'.
Did anyone else pick up on that?
If the market is going back up around Nov. you all know that he will attribute that to his perfect handling of this virus crisis.
I just hope the MSM shows how this was mismanaged from the start and will not give Trump a chance to take credit. I also think the American People are smarted than that.

The virus blossomed in Wuhan, where winter weather is closer to spring conditions in our northern border states.
It has spread in Australia, where its near the end of summer now.
Same thing with sub-Saharan Africa, where the climate is balmy, most of the year.
So I wouldnt count on summer halting this thing.

Theyre not going to bail him out forever.
I think Biden gave them the wake up call they needed today, of what could be in the near future. He may be boring, he will support some things they hate, but they will know what to expect with him. Boring and predictable = certainty, and the markets live for that more than anything.
The market will have to bottom out some more as a correction, and then the wealthy will go into a holding pattern through the fall to make sure they get sanity back in the White House. Depending on how deep the bottom becomes any recovery will be a weak one. Might show some clawing back to 20 Jan 2017 levels, or a percent or two above, but not much more.
But what do I know?

(25,241 posts)Trump said the stock market will bounce back and it will bouce back "at the right time".
My interprretation of "at the right time" (in his mind) is in Nov around the election. I believe he is fooling himself to believe that if the stock market bounces back - he'll win re-election.
Remember - I said 'in his mind' he thinks that. In reality - he's toast.
