    I just saw a news headline that there is historic unemployment. So, this is after a strong economy (pre-Covid-19). Now Trump has experience with both a booming economy and a bad one. So, he knows the ropes, he's more experienced, maybe you should vote for him.

    He screwed both of them.

    Perhaps screwing up is Trump's only talent.

    Certainly most people are more comfortable with a pro-business and pro-capitalism GOPer president in charge of a damaged economy than a traditional Dem president who's instinct and training is to punish business for having the audacity to try and earn a profit.

    Yeah... he now knows how to turn the strong economy that he inherited into a financial crisis. Your point? You want to see what happens when what he starts off is with a financial crisis to see if he can turn us into... another Somalia?

    Layoffs begin to accelerate as government aid dries up. Disney letting go 28,000 employees and the airlines now begin letting go what could wind up being 42,000 employees.

    the economy was not strong pre-covid

    the fed had interest rates near zero and was dumping tons of cash into the economy pre-covid, not something that happens during a strong economy

    covid actually postponed the Depression\Recession due to the trillions the fed dumped into the economy to keep it afloat....

    Oh, is Trump trying to turn us into Somalia? Is that anything like Democrats turning us into Venezuela?
    Oh, maybe that is why Nancy Pelosi is bringing up another stimulus package?

    I think the popular vote will go to CHINER, they certainly have the knoew'ns of how to manipulate WORLD economies! I know they are very popular here in the U.S. almost as much Hillary was ;)

    I think low interest rates are there to keep the debt from exploding to unmanageable proportions. It's a fed/gov plan.

    To be fair, it's really not either parties fault, XI and CHINER is the real catalyst behind this world problem! The only thing the left is guilty of is protecting them and allowing themselves to be heavily influenced by the XI-man..

    yes, cause the rich take out less loans when the interest rate is near zero percent

    I would like one of those loans, how about you?

    our debt is up to almost 30 Trillion under Trump.. is it working?

    You mean the guy Trump claimed had everything under control?
    The people stoked in myths. If you want a decent economy definitely don’t vote Republican. They sucked on the economy for at least a half century.

    You know whats f$%ked up? Is that most of those laid off of low skilled jobs would have done better taking the unemplyment aid, learning a skill to improve their lifestyle. Now they are literally screwed. The moneys all gone.

    I learned C++ and visual scripting during my time..Now i got a pretty decent side hustle selling game assets in between construction job contracts.

    Well, I think under Trump, China has been forced to reevaluate their economy as a sweatshop nation. So they've been trying to reduce their reliance on the USA to buy their junk products. I don't know whether China is more dangerous now than they've ever been.

    I can see how much more dangerous they could be? I guess they could improve on the COVID strain maybe, like COVID-2.0

    That would be Trump and the COVID. Remember: it will go away "like a miracle" and "it's under control" If you don't remember those, you might recall one of these

    Jan. 22, Twitter:
    “One of the many great things about our just signed giant Trade Deal with China is that it will bring both the USA & China closer together in so many other ways. Terrific working with President Xi, a man who truly loves his country. Much more to come!”

    Twitter:
    “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”

    Jan. 29, Remarks at signing ceremony for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement:
    “And, honestly, I think, as tough as this negotiation was, I think our relationship with China now might be the best it's been in a long, long time. And now it's reciprocal. Before, we were being ripped off badly. Now we have a reciprocal relationship, maybe even better than reciprocal for us.”

    Jan. 30, Fox News interview:
    "China is not in great shape right now, unfortunately. But they're working very hard. We'll see what happens. But we're working very closely with China and other countries."

    Feb. 7, Remarks at North Carolina Opportunity Now Summit in Charlotte, N.C.:
    "I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you know, we're working on the — the problem, the virus. It's a — it's a very tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it really well. We're helping wherever we can."

    Feb. 7, Twitter:
    “Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days … Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!

    Feb. 7, Remarks before Marine One departure:
    "Late last night, I had a very good talk with President Xi, and we talked about — mostly about the coronavirus. They're working really hard, and I think they are doing a very professional job. They're in touch with World — the World — World Organization. CDC also. We're working together. But World Health is working with them. CDC is working with them. I had a great conversation last night with President Xi. It's a tough situation. I think they're doing a very good job.”

    Feb. 10, Fox Business interview:
    "I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control," Trump said. "I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that's a beautiful date to look forward to. But China I can tell you is working very hard."

    Feb. 10, campaign rally in Manchester, N.H.:
    “I spoke with President Xi, and they’re working very, very hard. And I think it’s all going to work out fine.”

    Feb. 13, Fox News interview:
    “I think they've handled it professionally and I think they're extremely capable and I think President Xi is extremely capable and I hope that it's going to be resolved."

    Feb. 18, remarks before Air Force One departure:
    “I think President Xi is working very hard. As you know, I spoke with him recently. He’s working really hard. It’s a tough problem. I think he’s going to do — look, I’ve seen them build hospitals in a short period of time. I really believe he wants to get that done, and he wants to get it done fast. Yes, I think he’s doing it very professionally.”

    Feb. 23, remarks before Marine One departure:
    "I think President Xi is working very, very hard. I spoke to him. He's working very hard. I think he's doing a very good job. It's a big problem. But President Xi loves his country. He's working very hard to solve the problem, and he will solve the problem. OK?"

    Feb. 26, remarks at a business roundtable in New Delhi, India:
    “China is working very, very hard. I have spoken to President Xi, and they’re working very hard. And if you know anything about him, I think he’ll be in pretty good shape. They’re — they’ve had a rough patch, and I think right now they have it — it looks like they’re getting it under control more and more. They’re getting it more and more under control.”

    Feb. 27, Coronavirus Task Force press conference:
    “I spoke with President Xi. We had a great talk. He’s working very hard, I have to say. He’s working very, very hard. And if you can count on the reports coming out of China, that spread has gone down quite a bit. The infection seems to have gone down over the last two days. As opposed to getting larger, it’s actually gotten smaller.”

    Feb. 29, Coronavirus Task Force press conference:
    “China seems to be making tremendous progress. Their numbers are way down. … I think our relationship with China is very good. We just did a big trade deal. We’re starting on another trade deal with China — a very big one. And we’ve been working very closely. They’ve been talking to our people, we’ve been talking to their people, having to do with the virus.”
