    Spot on, Danny

    The U.S. economy is like a 15,000-ton freight train.

    Once it comes to a sudden stop, it takes time to get back up to speed.

    I think we will recover rapidly-and Trump is the right man to get it done.

    Personally I think 2 months is optimistic. I’m worried about the flights I’ve booked for Christmas.

    Lol...Talk about who is the real problem...
    If you really believe that bullshit, then you should want to let the virus take its course and thin the herd significantly so the survivors can 'reset' society to their liking.

    Trump doesn't have the backing of the the majority of the country like Bush had after 9/11. Most of the country doesn't trust him. We should have elected Romney. Trump is a game show host.

    Trump is handling this like a boss. He's the right man in the right place, at the right time.

    Stop the nonsensical conspiracy theories.

    Diplomacy and foreign trade is what made our country grow.

    We have been 'global' from the beginning.

    This didn't need to happen ..........The Trump Virus could have been stopped in its tracks .........

    Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing intended to help detect disease outbreaks in China, Reuters has learned.

    he American disease expert, a medical epidemiologist embedded in China’s disease control agency, left her post in July, according to four sources with knowledge of the issue. The first cases of the new coronavirus may have emerged as early as November, and as cases exploded, the Trump administration in February chastised China for censoring information about the outbreak and keeping U.S. experts from entering the country to help.

    “It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Bao-Ping Zhu, a Chinese American who served in that role, which was funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2007 and 2011. “If someone had been there, public health officials and governments across the world could have moved much faster.”

    You can keep on making excuses for Trump mishandling of the Trump Virus

    However it appears Trump deregulating and removal of safeguards of EPA and Health related issues

    are why we have 32,000 cases and 414 deaths at this point and much more to come

    Yet Trump doesn't take responsibility for this

    Everyone has been holding their breath hoping Trump would get thru his Presidency without having to get thru a crisis

    This crisis is of Trump's making

    Hopefully Reality tv performers will stay out of Leadership roles in the Future

    This is true. As soon as men set off in ships to trade in the east globalization became inevitable.

    And as much damage as it has done it's still mostly been a good thing.

    I guess next you will post Trump actually secretly traveled to China and actually created the virus and snuck it into the country and infected people.

    The blame is on CHINA nothing you have posted changes that.

    We don't have the normal tools to employ during a recession that we should. Trump and republicans have already slashed taxes/revenue with their donor relief package in 2018. The FED has interest rates so low that we can't lower them any further to help mitigate this recession. This will not be a swift recovery. The effects are going to be felt for at least 18-24 months.

    No Trump dismissed the Virus as not to effect the economy ...........

    His attempts at spinning the " Trump Virus " only resulted in the worsening of the financial downturn

    False he declared a national health emergency in January and shut down travel from China and was attacked by the left. Why do you call it a "Trump Virus" again
