President Trump is in the hotel and golf resort businesses. His deeply in debt businesses depend on seniors flying to his hotels and resorts. And some major casino owners and executives are among his biggest supporters. That makes the president's irresponsible, self-serving downplaying of the #coronavirus #COVD-19 a huge financial conflict of interest. Sooner than later, Democrats and the media will get it. And if American seniors who've flown and been on cruise ships after being reassured by the President of the U.S. get badly hit by the virus, his re-election could be in double jeopardy. That will make Joe Biden's election more likely, and that would be horrible for stocks and the economy.And more sick people than expected would be even worse. The history of pandemics is that self-isolation and government-mandated isolation reduces fatalities by 40% to 75%, according to articles in wsj.com and elsewhere.
"That will make Joe Biden's election more likely, and that would be horrible for stocks and the economy."How so?
Biden is a go with the herd liberal socialist. He would appoint Sanders and Warren supporters to key regulatory agencies, and they would re-regulate the economy into a depression. If he's elected, bail out.
I disagree. Also whatever happens greatly depends on the make up of the senate and the house.
The Biden spike didn't last as long as the last Trump spike that may be the last spike. Who knows?
"The WHO says fatality rate is 3.4%"The Who's fatality rate for guitars onstage is much higher.

TE,Maybe the usual suspects (and the not so usual ones) had no idea what you were talking about?Put me in the "no idea" column.
Gaetz has been auditioning for Trumps coming reality TV show, AzzKissers and Clowns.
The announcement implied Bloomberg would return to normal political reporting regardless of Bloomberg's interests. But his Blomberg Business Week is disgustingly hard left on his issues. So I ignore it because it's more about his issues than about business.
I hope Trump doesn't blow it, but he and Biden have special feet that wind up in their mouths every day. And Sanders scares most people over 30.
I wonder how much is senility and how much is the stress of a deceitful life playing out in real time.
Trump never claimed to be versed on everything under the sun.Just b/c anyone or someone does speak politically correct does not mean they're not smart, able and capable.There were and are plenty of successful businessmen whose college was the school of hard knocks.Those who mock Trump for his manner of speech or not being the all knowing are those who show their ignorance and blind hate.
They'd hang that in Iran
Stores have had a run on toilet paper.
If worse comes to worse we can always buy the NY Times,
Should be good for a week.

"Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci says he would campaign for former Vice President Joe Biden if asked to do so."I was actually hoping Mooch would run. Biden should pick him as a running mate.
