    The catch 22 for Trump here is that he never cared about people panicking because he loves causing panic when it suits his agenda such as in in his mythological caravans and riots. But he was panicking about the virus and how it would make him appear as to how it affected the stock market so he caused the problem by calling it a hoax and not properly addressing it but instead exacerbating it and bringing the USA to this level of a 200,000 death toll and economic disaster.

    If on Day 1 of the first case in the US, Trump had declared that we are doomed, our nursing homes and prisons will be Ground Zero, and there is nothing we can do to stop it, the economic disaster would have been astronomical.

    According to the IRS 29.6 MILLION Americans are still receiving unemployment compensation checks.

    Trump downplayed Covid. The other side were the ones causing panic. I live in Los Angeles and Trump has no voice here. Halloween was cancelled here. The one holiday where people wears masks anyway has been banned! Our mom n pop shops were shut down so that people could crowd WalMart to buy the same item at a much higher risk! Trump is the lesser of evils on this issue.

    I wonder how many of them stay unemployed because it pays more than to work?

    Wait so there were no caravans even though there was plenty of video and Portland alone has declared many nights "riots" but they dont exist? He never called the virus a hoax. He called people like you a hoax and how you were acting ( and still are)

    Why did you change from Peppermint Patty?

    Do you think Dem led states like NY with strict lockdowns are helping unemployment numbers or hurting.... Be honest.. Sit back and think before replying..

    25,000 restaurants alone in NY how many people do you think they employ?

    None stay unemployed because they get more from STATES unemployment than they get from working, the extra FEDERAL money is long gone.

    Of course it’s hurting and it’s by design. They can cause economic destruction in their own states or cities and them blame Trump. Why? Because the MSM will actually back that insanity. The MSM will NOT blame local leaders who have direct control over those they govern. NOT the ducking president sitting in DC.

    That sort of thing happens when Congress extends unemployment insurance for an additional 13 weeks.

    Last week over 800k filed for unemployment. The vaccine is what is needed. Here in NJ it is getting better, not 100%, but better than last month.

    Amidst all the usual subjects oh so long lists of trying to run Trump out of office, I had completely forgotten about the caravans coming to the wall. Are the obama built cages overflowing or is that democrat party manufactured crisis water over their environmentally approved dam?

    Unemployment payments stop when the recipient gets employment!!!! That indicates that at least 29.6 MILLION are still unemployed which is far more than the 8.4% unemployment rate the labor department is claiming. It should reflect a rate of at least double the 8.4% rate.

    Competency and a non-sociopath at the helm is what was needed. That being said, the corporate owned establishment Dems are not looking out for the people either...they are better that the orange turd but that is a low bar.

    I could be wrong but I believe that's how many are filing not how many are jobless or without any work.

    No **** Sherlock - thanks Demokrats.

    They can come back from recess to stage a made-for-media Post Office dog and pony show for their own benefit but they can't come back to hammer out a compromise with Republicans to help unemployed and underemployed Americans.

    Party before country as always...
