well no shit. This is what happens when the President is a moron who'd rather golf than deal with a global pandemic. President Hillary Clinton would have had this licked by July. Hell, so would have President Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Bernie Sanders.

The Markets go up The Markets go down You do know that, right? It will not effect realDonaldTrump 2nd Term. Guarantee it.

Global Economy down to dust bowl and hard to come back soon! It takes years and might not be back in economy as past. US is worst in Covid-19 country in cases as death toll today 190K, obvious economy on months shutdown down and down! So shutdown lifting economy growing!

And so it begins... ETTD

And you listened to Orangeman’s bulls..t about a V shaped recovery. Hahahahaha. Not going to happen until Biden gets elected and leads us out of this pandemic. Hey Kushyass, we’re still waiting for that miracle July recovery. Uh, it’s SEPTEMBER Kushyass.
