His investments have got to be bigly down

Also, from my POV, his previous presser didn't impact global markets, he is not a believable POTUS any where except for his cult, and Cult45
will never ever understand that

1. Every time I wonder if this is the one where he declares martial law

[dhol82]

7. If he ever does declare martial law is there anybody who can stop him?

Can the House or Senate call it back?
Can we have the Praetorian Guard arrest him?

2. I spoze Pence, Mnuchin and Kudlow - THOSE EXTRAORDINARY LEADERS OF THE U.S. FIGHT AGAINST

COVID19 - will be there to publicly lick dump’s toes for half an hour straight ewwwwww so this should be interesting, in a barfalicious way

3. Bet it has more to do with the market than actual public health.

I'd be pleased if he started walking back all of his "hoax" comments, but I doubt he's smart enough to realize the box he's put himself in.

5. His keepers/minders behind his throne will never let him do that.

The trumpers/republicans need that false fact to organize around & for their base IMO.

They & he need the country divided, badly split

4. I think he's making the problem (as he sees it) worse/self-fulfilling.

1) He thinks "the problem" is the stock market reaction to the coronavirus (rather than the outbreak itself).

2) So he goes out there and denies it is a big deal, says it's totally under control.

3) He thinks that should reassure the market but it actually spooks them -- because his transparent BS-ing highlights that he has no interest or intention of actually dealing with the outbreak effectively, and worse indicate his willingness to hamstring the experts who ought to be dealing with it in a dopey effort to control the PR message.

4) So the markets react poorly to the growing certainty of further loss of productivity and sales due to the inevitably worsening pandemic.

5) He sees how badly the markets did in the latest trading session, aaaaaand.... he cycles back to #1.

6. WHO is being seen as a reliable info source

CDC as a maybe around the globe and Pences' commission is a freaking joke.

8. +1

Never thought we’d have to consider our own CDC a “maybe”. Good gawd.
