2. K&R, Trump is betting the house on this silver bullet cause he knows the REAL pain comes 4/30 when

... he tells us it'll be another month or two when we get back to normal and then it'll be another month or two after that

Then on 4/30 Trump can say ... see I told you guys to try drug xyz we'd be out of this mess and start blaming others for the continued collapse of the DOW

3. Because he's a wartime President and everyone knows you win wars with bullets.

Go figure.

4. Not so much that *he* believes, so much as he wants *you* to believe.

After all, if you think there's an effective treatment, you'll be more more willing to go back to work, go to the store, and buy stocks.

6. Also, dawg...

...he's desperate for one.
Look at the tenor of those stupid briefings. He knows this is very bad for him, and he's doing anything he can in a desperate hope that this will turn around.
He's in a bad place, politically & reputationally. He's grasping at straws.
Geez, in a poll this weekend 40% of 2016 voters for Trump think he did not respond adequately. Look here.

That will create desperation.

7. THIS!

Superb answer.

[marble falls]

8. He doesn't believe anything. He's grasping at straws, he's hoping this thing will ...

go away magically and when it does he'll get credit for it.

9. this reminds me of hitler and his "secret weapons" that will win the war for germany.

more fanatical thinking from a deranged mind.
