Trump's Job Losses Will Exceed The Great Recession’s

I don't see any link to support that claim pre pandemic?

Pre-pandemic!?!?!?!?!?! What country do you live in? Reality is reality and the record is the record.

Trump is finished. James Carville is right - Trump is going to get his fat ass beat. The only question is by how much and the tyrannical methods he will attempt to employ to thwart the will of the people.
 
He answered the call, the democrats who didn't want to give him the satisfaction, decided to let their people suffer.

No, he put it on call forwarding.

The '''total authority''' president punts to state governors

Please tell us "how he answered the call" as you statement is contrary to prevailing wisdom of the world. Moreover, its laughable given that 5% of the worlds population encountered more than 1/3 of the worlds cases and almost 1/3 of the world's deaths. Our response to this, if the outcome wasn't so serious, would have us as the laughing stock of the world in ineptitude.

Fintan O’Toole: Donald Trump has destroyed the country he promised to make great again
Health Bureaucrats Botched the Response to Coronavirus. Trump Made It Even Worse. – Reason.com

You keep making these wild statements (as they stand in stark contrast to conventional wisdom) that you will not support (because you can't). The only conclusion one can draw is you live in a fantasy world.
 
Good points. For sure, it does matter if jobs come back by Oct. But it is going to be an uphill battle to re-employ 33+ million people.
This job loss was like turning off a light switch, turning it back on will be more complicated.
You can open all the restaurants you want, but if no one is going because they too have just started back to work and have bills to pay, then this job loss to job gain may not end up looking like the "V" that Trump says it will.
But, if it does, then you and Trump have nothing to worry about? Right?

imo this is what happens over the next 120 days

states slowly reopen....we have a few spikes here and there, but for the most part...the openings are successful but SLOW

here is what i mean by that....take restaurants for example.....i think if they can get to 50% of pre-covid revenue by October that will be a huge success....they have to take out tables, space things out more, and really reconfigure how things work

i also think they will only bring back maybe 50-60% of their employees because of that volume decrease

travel....TSA is already showing a small increase in travel...maybe 12% of pre-covid levels now. I figure if we can get to 40% by October, maybe most of the airlines can forego BK....most are trying to figure out how to reconfigure costs without middle seats....biggest issue is that there needs to be destinations worth going to for people to travel

i own and operate a kennel/boarding facility....i have had more calls in last 3 days than i did in last 3 months....the beaches are open, and rentals can be rented out again in S Carolina and Florida....so my business looks like it is finally picking up albeit slowly

I think most small business people are like me....struggled to hold on....and now just want to see some rise in revenues to stop the bloodletting....next 8 weeks are the make or break....after that, who knows

just my two cents
 
That's all you've done for 95,406 posts in your 10 and a half years here.

The Trump Results:

Downplayed, ignored and acted like a clown in the leadup to the pandemic.

Almost a Hundred Thousand Dead.

Tens of Millions Unemployed.

Trillions added to the debt.

Failed Leadership... By his own words.

So Donald Trump should take the blame for the pandemic?? Liberal logic?

By Biden? ROFLMAO, the anti Trump sentiment you have is the minority ,the lack of support and passion for Biden is staggering. You keep promoting those policies of personal destruction and keep losing elections like you just did in California and Wisconsin. The anti Trump sentiment and hatred doesn't resonate with the silent majority in this country.

I don't and never have seen data supporting your claims, gee, wonder why?
 
You mean the job losses caused by Gov's shutting down their economies and forcing people to stay home and not work.
you mean those job losses?

not sure how trump is responsible for that.
but this is why the left depends on low information voters.

trump is responsible for nothing negative, we all know the drill

The relevant data is 95,000 dead and climbing with over 40 million out of work.

Please show us how Gov's shutting down their economies is trumps fault first.
The widespread unemployment (and numbers are actually starting to go back down as
gov's slowly open their economies (imagine that).
is trumps fault?

nothing you post has anything to do with what is being discussed.
 
The relevant data is 95,000 dead and climbing with over 40 million out of work.

And that has what to do with Trump? Economic collapse or Shutdown? Do you know the difference? Your loyalty to liberalism is cult like totally defying logic, common sense and facts.
 
Do you disagree with the great Donald Trump?

Screenshot-2020-03-17-at-2.56.57-PM.png


why do you disagree with him?

are you a communist or something?

So he was talking about natural disasters?. You ever going to discuss policies vs. promoting politics of personal destruction?
 
The relevant data is 95,000 dead and climbing with over 40 million out of work.

Liberal lies, distortion, blame placement all to divert from the Biden resume and incompetence. Do you honestly believe you are earning any political points with your posts?

If you look at the economy up until the virus it was humming a long pretty good.

It was an artificial bubble looking for a pin, it would have collapsed one way or another...

Exactly, south Korea learned the same day we did of a case in their country.

They reacted immedialtly, and as of today still have less than 300 deaths country wide.

Trump waited weeks and we will be well over a hundred thousand by the end of the weekend.

Trump ****ed the pooch and there is no way around that!!!
 
Leadership.

What did he do in the leadup?

Downplay, Ignore and act like a clown.

Why do you disagree with President Trump?

Are you a communist or something?


Leaders take the lead in a crisis.

Losers, blame everything and everyone around them...

A fish stinks from the head. If you need it spelled out for you even more, Trump was more than willing to take credit for things that he did not create or start - so now he must take blame for bad events that happened on his watch which were only made worse by his comparative inaction for six weeks.

i am sure there was going to be a normal pull back there always is, but there was no artificial bubble.

from the NY Times showing that over 38 million people are now unemployed who had jobs a few months ago. Add this to the unemployed from January and you get over 40 million.

John Hopkins reports that nearly 95 million are dead and the number will soon hit over 100 million due to the virus.

the trump depression will probably go down as the worst in US history.

How is this "Trump's shutdown". I seem to recall a few months ago when Trump asserted he had the power to shutdown the country you and your ilk screamed like scalded cats that it was up to state governors to impose the shut downs. Maybe you haven't notices but Trump's doing everything he can to convince states to open.
 
Please show us how Gov's shutting down their economies is trumps fault first.

please get serious

thanks!

It sure does, Obama, Biden, Hillary, Sanders, Warren. Apparently you need it spelled out, Liberalism is a fraud and offers nothing but dependence created by spending in the name of compassion, you never post any liberal success stories and that speaks volumes

I have posted official results showing what Trump inherited but you ignored it. Your love affair with liberalism and Obama tells everyone a lot about you. it is all about liberal power and never liberal results
