“So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!”

I guess he’s saying EVERYTHING’S JUST FINE STOP WHINING AMERICA

related issues. Still meeting mobs of people so when if and when he eventually gets exposed to the CV, which will be a matter of time before the idiot does get exposed (and exposing others to CV while at his idiot rallies etc.).

Markets obviously don't have any faith what-so-ever in this man or so called president. Why has it took the markets so long to react to this idiot of a president? I can't believe that the powers that be, that rule the stock markets etc., didn't see this coming. Goes to show you that Greed is rump's, and the republicans are its stool pigeons. Like the one representative in Congress said, the republican health plan is for Americans to get sick and die. Look at how rump himself is handling this disease? By his actions he's putting us ALL in danger.

Will someone use the 25th Amendment please?

has lost support due to his glaring disconnect between reality and his perceived version of the world. I think that we are seeing the beginning of the end, of his descent into madness (driven crazy by the obvious fact that no one, and I mean no one, is listening to this idiot (and if one does listen, they run a big risk in doing so)).

Now we all know just where rump stands on the matter of life and death of regular everyday Americans. Doesn't seem to care about the elderly getting sick, doesn't seem to care about anyone else getting sick (by continuing to hold his rallies), calls the CV a hoax, appointed a non scientific guy to spearhead the federal CV medical efforts, and dismantled the entire CDC pandemic response team(s) a couple of years ago. The stock markets (and other markets will follow soon, if not already) all agree w/ the fact that rump has failed.

rump has single handedly brought this on himself. Instead of being open and honest, he tried to bury the CV and is still discounting it (the impact of CV will have). Wouldn't you think already by now, that everyone would agree that the CV in progress now around the world has had a major, major impact (and rump still denies it).

@tedlieu
US House candidate, CA-33
Dear @realDonaldTrump
: Do you mean when the news showed you telling the American people that you “stopped” the #coronavirus & “closed it down”?

Or are you referring to the news showing Kudlow & @KellyannePolls
saying virus was “contained”?

Also, when are we getting test kits?
