Good Lord, he's an idiot. Someone needs to post a giant screen in front of him when he speaks that shows the market deep diving with every bullshit word from his mouth.

Our Governor is holding press conferences daily. Find out when your state government is having their daily conference and find a way to access it.

I live in NJ - totally focused on what actions Murphy, Cuomo and Wolfe are taking.

I'm trying to beat it out of an evangelical Trump worshipper on FB. It's getting pretty funny. I have him cornered.

First I replied to a Trumper thread by his pastor reminding them Trump said COVI-19 was a hoax. He defended him saying he wasn't calling the virus itself a hoax, it was the democrats effort to lay blame at his feet. Now I'm badgering him. What did a democrat say or do specifically? Obviously you wouldn't know what Trump had in mind because he never said, but since you agree, there has to be something. C'mon, just one!

He can't because about everything democrats were on Trump's ass about is happening.

go third person! If anyone should go around talking like that, it should be him.

They made him have a name tag that said Harold, even though he'd always gone by Harry, even though everyone else that used the shortened version of their name was allowed to. The supervisor and management always called him Harold too.

(because he cannot deny the numbers now), you should ask that TW if the Democratic folks early warnings were justified. The Con is a cornered rat on that hoax bullshit.

Someone must ask him precisely what he meant by this
Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “The risk is low to the average American.”

It Will prove to be more than inadequate, and rush this country towards a depression. I mean really, they think with this happening now just a $1000 now will help are going to have a huge surprise when it continues crashing even quicker. It needs to be $5000 or more to get the economy going again, and short changing us now will only hurt this country now. Who'll live on just $1000 a month, trump can't, and neither will the American people. Their tax scam bill needs to be reversed with the wealthy taxes rates increased at once.

Biden needs to claim it should be $5000 and he would rollback the tax scam bill in 2017 raising the top 5% tax rates at once to increase revenues ASAP during this crisis. If they cheapskate this payout , it will only reduce the job numbers more from less immediate spending, and no bailouts for large companies who pay zero in taxes .let them eat cake this time, and I was nice saying cake after they took people's homes last time, even trump and Mnuchin profited off others misery.
