Trump is furious that the stock market is plunging on coronavirus fears

[Earl]

What is troubling is that there is no evidence that he does have empathy for anyone other than himself, Earl.

Most likely, he is a psychopath; definitely he is a severe narcissist. "Empathy" is not his strong suit.

The fact that there still are people willing to support him, in my opinion, is a bridge too far.



Still too early. I'll probably be able to answer that question after next Tuesday.

My guess right now is...Sanders.



Yeah, that is unfortunate. But he will come around eventually.




I would vote for Satan over Trump, Earl. If you were thinking clearly, you would feel that same way.

I believe that empathy for the American people is one reason that he was elected...and will be re-elected. Most presidents are narcissists. They have to be to want that job.

A psychopath? I don’t think so. You do love hyperbole, Frank. Lol

It’s not easy to think clearly this early in the morning. I could say that you have demonstrated that beautifully...but I won’t. Lol

It’s really difficult to believe that an old timer prefers Socialism. You lived through the bad old Cold War days. I am 99% sure that you don’t prefer Socialism. You just like to stir the pot.

Time to buy some stock, Frank. If my investments guru ever gets out of bed, we are going to talk.

He is paid 10K per year by his clients, you would think that he could arise by at least 6AM.

Yeah, ever since the inauguration (which was the greatest ever) I've been saying: what we need is another Chinese virus.
Trump is terrified of germs, he'll never come out of the White House!

If his "clients" pay him 10K each...I can understand why he doesn't bother getting up earlier. Figuratively, he is already up way before them.

[MAGA MAN]

Buying opportunity.

If the economy were stronger, this virus would not be affecting it. When Obama was president SARS did not tank the stock market this way.

[RB 60]

No...THAT ONE isn't true...or at least, it probably isn't true.

But the one about Trump being more interested in how the coronavirus may negatively impact his re-election chances...than in its impact on humanity...

...ALMOST CERTAINLY IS TRUE!

Trump is such a disgusting human being...you should be ashamed of continuing your support for him, RB.

At some point, you should be able to see that.

Come on now Frank, be realistic. EVERYONE is being impacted by this virus economically, as well as it being a diverging, fatal virus.
You keep whining about Trump being only for himself, how terrible a human being he is and he only cares about this virus's impact on
his election chances. I'd say you're wrong. And I'll support him until someone comes along and supports more of the policies I support.

[Jarod]

Trump gutted the national Institute for health, and the pandemic task force was disbanded.

[RB 60]

If the economy were stronger, this virus would not be affecting it. When Obama was president SARS did not tank the stock market this way.

How widespread and fatal was SARS compared to this virus? How many cities and factories did SARS shut down? How many countries were affected?

Are you really this stupid???

Hello guno,

Trump is reportedly furious that stocks are plunging, believing that health officials’ warnings have spooked investors, The Washington Post reported Tuesday night, citing two people familiar with the president’s thinking.

The president has reportedly cautioned aides against forecasting the impact of the virus over fears that stocks could fall further.

trump cares about trump, not his flyover country rubes

Of course DT is furious.

His presidency depends on the stock market. If Wall Street tanks, so does his presidency.

His life depends on controlling the story, and this is one story he cannot control.

Just like the Kremlin of the USSR.

Any scary news, just deny deny deny.

Pure BS coming from leadership.

Meanwhile, reality marches on.

The CDC warns of the coming pandemic: "Not if, but when."

I do consider him a horrible human being...and my guess is that he is MUCH more interested in the impact of this virus on his re-election bid than on its impact on the general population.

MUCH MORE!

As for your support of him for whatever reasons, RB...that is all one can ask of anyone in a country such as ours. Obviously I also must do what I see as best...which right now involves speaking out against the abomination with all the gusto I can muster. I do consider him to be a greater menace to our nation than this virus...even though I see the virus as a potentially great threat indeed.

[Jarod]

A strong economy does not react this way to a virus that has barely in the United States.

[Micawber]

Nobody needs a psychiatrist to tell us Trump is a narcissistic authoritarian. That just requires a dictionary and having endured his joke presidency
and all the antics. But it's nice they all joined together an gave that diagnosis anyway, just as all the prosecutors joined together to proclaim
Bill Barr is nothing but Trump's ego fluffer, and all the state department proclaim Trump is destroying their department, all the scientists proclaim global
warming is an imminent threat while Trump denies it and purges the EPA, placing an oil company dildo at its head.

This entire Trump episode is an unmitigated disaster and his voters are willful idiots.

Sooooo, should Trump have been happy the market went down? Way too many dumb people.

You being the number one dumb person, by posting the half baked tripe that you post.

[Trumpet]

Crazy Trump is growling at the moon again.
