"SNIP......

President Trump says he won’t support shutting down the country of a possible second wave of coronavirus cases develops, NBC News reports.

Said Trump: “People say that’s a very distinct possibility. It’s standard. And we’re gonna put out the fires. We’re not gonna close the country.”

......SNIP"

1. He'll handle it precisely like the did the first wave.

incompetently, badly, stupidly.

[uponit7771]

9. +1

[Arkansas Granny]

16. Exactly.

[ecstatic]

2. Why is Fox news still covering for this killer clown?

Don't they understand that their neck is on the line too?

[Initech]

3. In his words, we are a country without a leader. A rudderless ship heading for disaster.

[roamer65]

4. He has no say on the matter.

That’s up to the states.

[Maxheader]

10. Thumbs up...

And if the people don't care for what the states say..then fuck them too...

[lunatica]

5. He didn't close it the first time either.

As a matter of fact he tried his best to keep it from happening.

7. +1

[uponit7771]

6. So just let people die hunh?

[Solly Mack]

8. Fuck him. Fuck everything about him. Fuck'em all.

If the ground opened up and swallowed every single Trump, by birth or marriage, the world would be the better for it.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. +1000000!

12. We're Riding It Out Now!

Nearly 80% of the economy is fully functioning.
This is riding it out, and we've got 40 million unemployed, an inflated market down 15%, the largest deficit in history, & 100k dead.
Riding it out less strictly will make it worse, including on the markets.
Economy is 70% consumption. Dead people don't buy food, pharma, cars, iPhones, etc. Economy shrinks, investors freak out, nobody happy.
Opening up is not the cure to what ails them, they think it is!

14. Don't you get it? The markets are now the world. The GOP, wholly owned by plutocrats,

don't need the domestic market anymore.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. A Big 2nd Wave...

...and their "world" will fall again.
Besides they're too dumb to notice that this is about where the markets should have been.
Soft cash positions, low inventory carrying, increased debt:equity, was funding profits.
The markets were rising at 4% more than macroeconomic conditions suggested.
The crash to 18k was the virus. The market simply rose to a reasonable equilibrium.
If it falls again because too many dead contracts C there will be no bounce to this equilibrium. Equilibrium will be a much lower number.
Notice how they don't talk about the markets when they go down? Notice how they don't mention it's down 16.4% from it's high? Yeah, me too!

13. What second wave are you going to "ride out?"

Trump Says Country Will Ride Out Any Second Wave

What second wave are you talking about Don? You said the first one was a hoax. So how does one "ride out" a hoax for the second time when the first one never happened. You seem a tad confused.

[BannonsLiver]

15. Don't worry Fat Donnie

By then Biden will be in the oval so not your concern.

[malaise]

17. I wish he would ride out or in on a tsunami wave

That is all

[tblue37]

18. Ride it like a cowboy? nt

[ananda]

20. Sure, carried out by the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

nt

[Corgigal]

21. Country will,

Trump might be kicked to the curb at this timing.

[Squinch]

22. Its not up to him.

[smirkymonkey]

24. No, it's not.

If the Governors don't take action, people will isolate themselves. Nobody in their right mind is going to sacrifice themselves for "his" economy.

[HotTeaBag]

25. Yep, wasn't his decision the first time nor will it be the second, or third.

And it drives him absolutely crazy - tin pot dictator.

[ffr]

23. I read into it that MAGAts are going to have to shoulder the burden themselves

Because I've saved up, stocked up for my family. We socked it away when times were better for that rainy day. If MAGAts didn't and it sounds like they didn't, good luck to them?

[MR. ELECTABLE]

26. We haven't even finished the *FIRST* wave!

I'm pretty damn sure that a wave you need to actually see numbers *DECREASE*!
We have not seen a decrease in cases, only a *DECELERATION* in the growth rate!

The first wave hasn't even crested yet... Red Don wants to ride this surf board straight to hell!
