When the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, called Trump to let him know of the severity of the coronavirus situation, Trump wanted to talk about e-cigarettes first rather than talk about the coronavirus(nytimes.com/2020/03/07/us/politics/trump-coronavirus.html):
> Mr. Azar made his first call to Mr. Trump about the virus, dialing him directly at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida estate. The president insisted on talking about e-cigarettes first, but Mr. Azar steered him to the virus.
Many Americans will die because of Trump’s incompetence.
>But but but Hillary! Implying there weren't two dozen other potential candidates in the 2016 election. Kys
EVERYTHING IS TRUMPS FAULT! >implying that there aren't forces acting against him that are more than willing to destroy America and kill Americans
Lincoln Lewis
Umm it's still Obama's economy, sweetie.
Bentley Nelson
It would be no different from Hillary.
Easton Allen
>stock market crash is trumps fault >he should test more people!!! >implying the stock market isnt crashing solely because of the number of infected showing up in tests is scaring investors If there were no tests, nobody would know how bad it is and nobody would be panic selling.
Anthony Young
I like how people are blaming for not doing enough right after they called him a racist for travel bans two weeks prior.
Hunter Ortiz
so US and State health organisations are all waiting for Trump to give green light, if not they do nothing.
Benjamin Baker
>implying anyone else would handle this situation well The truth is the game was rigged from the start faggot. Many Americans will die because we moved all our production to China and China had to eat some bats contaminated with a weaponized virus. Many Americans will die because corporations needed to make profits before the economy shit the bed. Many Americans will die because our bureaucracy is full of incompetent nitwits who would rather not cancel shit out of fears of racism than do the right thing.
We are fucked, no president would have made a difference. Just sit back and watch the end.
Global virus pandemic is a black swan event that the President can't really control. Global financial meltdown in response to that is somewhat expected, and again out of the President's control.
In terms of how well he handles the crisis, it is too early to say. We'll have a solid idea by the summer over whether he's fumbled the ball or handles it competently.
So far he's handled crises very well (Iran, North Korea, ISIS, Migrant Caravans, etc) so it would be surprising if this is an exception but we'll see.

>using numerical values instead of percentages for any kind of economic analysis americans are truly a lost cause
why change their narrative now, this has been the medias warhorse since 2016
Gavin Martin
The market is taking a shit because most of the world's supply and logistics chains go through China, where people have been out of work for weeks and will continue to be out of work for the foreseeable future. Get fucked.
Luke King
I’m not convinced OP is American
Tyler Nelson
Hillary would've declared martial law within weeks
Adam Stewart
He did nothing to stop the Julio Garcia Ramirez from winning in 2024. America is lost. But four more years to learn Hebrew and jump ship to a kibutz in Israel like Bernie or golf resort like Trump is good enough.
Liam Nelson
Killary would’ve already placed all children into “protective custody”
Ian King
You made the red part green and the green part red. Also if you use ">" that already means "implying" Oh and reddit is that way
Brandon Campbell
He openly displayed himself when he decided to talk about FUCKING E-CIGARETTES instead of coronavirus.

> Saudi and Russia engulfed in a trade war over oil flooding the market and damaging the world economy > Chinese cunts eat bats causing plague and spread it worldwide > shitholes like Italy become badly infected and over the weekend start enforcing more draconian controls adding to hysteria because wops are fucking useless > markets start tanking due to above > trump has been one of the few not overflowing what is basically a severe flu that will do us all a favour and kill 3% of old people and hopefully many more in shitskin countries
> its bonald drumpfs fault because it was her turn
Ryder Rogers
Republican crashing the economy as usual. Sad.
Hudson Long
This is a good thing. I'm glad he isn't doing anything, the more infected the better
Carson Jones
>incompetence
Former trump supporter here
Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice
Robert Johnson
I’d like to say you can’t possibly be this retarded but leftards are truly subhuman
Julian Bailey
This collapse has very little to do with the Corona-virus and more to do with the oil war between Saudi Arabia and Russia.
It's good to see he's finally getting credit forsomething.
Joshua Martinez
Let's say you are an oil company and you have feed stock (crude oil) hanging around. Let's say it's like 1 million barrels. Oil value/per barrel is $30/barrel So you have assets in value of 30 million. >All the sudden the oil price drops because people are producing more. Now oil is $15/Barrel and your assets have dropped by $15 million, so your company's value is less. You credit is less because it's based on your assets. People freak out. But the real question is, Are you going to take advantage of those low prices?
Jaxson Johnson
These are the same people who deny climate change. Of course they deny anything that might cause problems for Trump.
Blake Kelly
Like trump is doing with south american kids? You gotta be retarded to not see he's just as much a bloodsucking pedo as hilary.
Jonathan Baker
>Yas Forums unironically voted for this Hoped*. Because you can't vote for a pandemic.
Cameron Sullivan
Read much? .. (nope?) It has nothing to do with COVID-19... "Oil Prices Dive as Saudi Arabia Takes Aim at Russian Production Russia on Friday rejected an agreement with OPEC on cuts in oil supplies to bolster prices." nytimes.com/2020/03/08/business/saudi-arabia-oil-prices.html
Ryder Gonzalez
This is due to Russia and Saudi Arabia slashing their oil prices. Corona is just the shit cherry on top.
Go out and buy. It’s a fire sale. And once everyone gets over this nonsense, you’ll be rich. The worst case scenario on cv is 3.5% mortality right now and that will be 90% boomer. In six months time, this shit will drop off front pages as fast as the WW3 scared did. So go buy. (Unless you’re 70 or have AIDS. In which case you might want to make peace with your maker.)
Nolan Wood
>EVERYTHING IS TRUMPS FAULT! Man, you Trumpcucks are really far into denial, can't wait to see how you faggots cope with him losing.
Jaxon Sanchez
Watching all the Trumplets here cope is so fun to watch, it's like a mini-preview of what will come in November.
Joseph Miller
>good economy thanks obama, nothing to do with trump >bad economy god damn this orange blumpf!!
Henry Harris
Coronavirus started in December. What kind of stupid shit were we doing then? Oh that’s right we were trying to impeach a popular President.
Thomas Thomas
This is exactly what I wanted when I voted for him though.
