    With taxpayer's money, Steve Mnuchin's hand picked companies will buy up the distressed assets at fire sale prices and then reinflate them.

    With bankruptcies surging, 2020 may become one of the busiest years for Chapter 11 filings since the Great Recession

    Yes, when government forces businesses to close, bankruptcies are an expected consequence. As to "Mnuchin's hand picked companies" I can only say that partisan guesswork doesn't help anything or mean anything.

    The government made a choice and decided only certain companies could make money for months. Hmmm not surprised

    The whole issue of the decline of business since Covid19 is being blathered in bullshit by Donald Trump whose objective is to delude and confuse his supporters until November after which they can go to hell.

    The business bankruptcies portend permanent loss of jobs.

    Personal bankruptcies will then follow, particularly for those who needed hospital treatment for Covid19.

    Donald Trump is perverting the publishing of truth as the fact that huge numbers of Americans will remain jobless for long after the Covid19 pandemic ceases.

    Donald Trump and his cohorts are talking up the economy when the reality is portending something more devastating than a V-shaped recovery.

    The trade war is another economic signal that is being missed. Exports and imports are both falling but US exports are falling at 6 x the rate imports are falling at.

    The 2020 revenue form the US budget is totally trashed and there will be another record for Donald Trump, the biggest ever budget deficit in a four-year term.

    The best hope for the US is that the poop-chute of history will expunge Donald Trump in January 2021.

    Sounds like you want the economy to do bad to get rid of Donald. I will take what you say with a grain of salt.

    Whatever Trump is doing, can be good or bad, but at least it is something that human being can understand.
    Democrats on the other hand promote something that is completely insane like racial wars, crime glorification, uncontrolled illegal immigration and pederasty.

    Many on the lists I've looked at have filed chapter 11, in order to get out from under enormous debt. Others are closing large numbers of stores. Either way, it will result in permanent job losses. Not good for anyone, as I don't see much interest in new start ups in the US right now - not until we have proven that we can effectively handle crises.

    The problem is not a Trump, but Democrat party.
    People do not want to support party of racial wars, illegal immigration and crime in general, special rights, pederasty.
    Once you stop promoting those ills, people will stop voting for Trump.

    US leaders, executive and legislative, have been deceiving and confusing US citizens long before Trump came on the scene, indeed, to some degree even before Trump was born.

    Edward Bernays was hired by Woodrow Wilson to manipulate the public perception more than a century ago. One of terms he made popular was "engineering consent", not to be confused with "engineering a virus for gain of function", made popular by Tony Fauci.

    I blame it on a novel virus.

    The governors of our states are more responsible than one man, President Donald Trump.

    You Trump hating partisans want him to be a dictator? Fact is regardless of what he does he is an idiot...right? One of the nicer names you have called him.

    I have no doubt trump wants to help america not destroy her. He has made mistakes but I don't question he has allegiance to America unlike the two parties who sold out our majority who are average Americans.

    Wrong! Trump was elected because neither party has represented nor looked out for working people since the 70s.. They were desperate and trump made promises that he did not keep. The treasonous bastards in both parties insured he would not get much of what he ran on. And some promises he forgot like Obama.

    What will hurt him are the forgotten promises..and lying about accomplishments. What we have seen for years from both parties.

    The right that got the DP to offshore our economy with them ? The stupid like those bastards are the stupid.

    Stupid idiots calling trump stupid is....as stupid as it gets. Lol.

    At least trump seems to understand crappy trade deals plus offshoring the economy that helped to create our once large middle class is not only stupid and harmful but in no way is in the best interests of working middle class Americans.

    The reason trump beat both parties was because neither party would represent these working people and trump was smart enough to pick up that hundred dollar bill. And his voters didn't have to read the Princeton Study to see that fact. The establishment dems and gophers still won't admit the self evident.

    The question is how many trump voters recognize his promises to working Americans were not all realized. When it was within his power to do it. Other promises demanded both parties helping instead of sabotage with illegal immigration and the scourge of sweat shop globalism.

    My only hope is he wins again and given he can't run again, with nothing to lose he goes all out in keeping his 2016 promises and tearing up the system that refuses to represent our salt of america, the working middle class. The damned parasites making big money off of disembowelling our people and the managed decline of America.

    Trump and his family offshore jobs and employ migrant workers on their US properties.

    Donald Trump is a brazen, blatant, crass hypocrite.

    He should have listened to Bannon. No cuts for the elites who will give no allegiance to America. And who hide money in places set up by and for the elites. As written about in the Panama Papers.

    With biden or a Republican any hope for working people goes away. Trump doesnt belong in either party. Another reason he was elected.

    When Bannon was pushed out I lost hope trump would be the best man for our people. Unless he does a 180 on key issues and promises.

    He should make bannon VP and allow bannon to set the economic agenda and dictate foreign policy. While giving trump full credit to soothe his giant ego.

    He got into financial trouble and not only survived it but got wealth back. The sign of a success.

    This over spending and debt arose under Reagan and has continued ever since. With every admin. That is the truth partisans ignore and msm refuse to admit.

    And I don't see an end to it as tax rates for the rich keep dropping. And they use legal bribery to get very favorable legislation.

    Trump got money from the Russian mafia. His sons even publicly admitted it. If that is success everybody should be allowed to take money from the Russians.

    it's the federal guidelines....

    Trump tells America to shut down... republicans say, yeah but Trump is a nobody

    never seen a President suck so bad that his own party says no one should listen to him

    btw, Trump says his shutdown saved millions of lives, do you think he is lying?
