White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Monday disparaged the medias coverage of the staggering 14.7 percent unemployment rate in April caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
That was a pity party yesterday on the Sunday shows, Navarro complained on Fox and Friends, singling out CBS News Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, ABC News This Week host George Stephanopoulos and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace.
This is not the Great Depression, the White House official continued. Anybody who thinks this is the Great Depression doesnt understand either history or economics.
Navarro claimed that President Donald Trump had built the strongest and most beautiful economy before the virus took hold.

Okay shit for brains, tell the country how 3.5% in January being unemployed to over 15% in April is not a depression in less than 3 months.....and having over 80,000 deaths and over 1.5 million infected by a deadly virus on those that want to live.....................and besides you have BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS also..............that is your legacy...........you libertarian POS........maybe you can use the "cubic model" by that DPS economist in the white house........................

Trump uses it for the mythical tests for covid-19 (aka the Trump Virus): "We have millions of beautiful tests."
Now this buffoon is talking about the "beautiful economy." (Remember that this idiot also claimed to be an expert in infectious diseases if I recall and actually told Trump that covid-19 would be a huge problem. However, his obsession in saying this was to gouge China.)
Bizarre choice of a word.
