Donald Trump has spent the last three years bragging about a soaring stock market that he inherited from Obama, like he takes credit for everything he inherited (or stole) from others.
Now, Trump’s own mismanagement of our country’s risks in a pandemic — closing the CDC’s department of pandemic control that Obama set up to successfully halt Ebola, silencing public health officials trying to keep the public informed, minimizing and dismissing and ignoring serious risks, mishandling testing procedures, allowing evacuees from the Princess Diamond cruise ship to mix infected and non-infected passengers in direct contravention of CDC recommendations and then bringing them to Travis Air Force Base in Northern California where a nearby civilian could get exposed — has put his precious stock market into freefall.
Dow lost more than 3,200 points — 11% of total value — in four straight days of plummeting this week.
Trump, already of precarious mental health, ties his reelection hopes to the soaring stock market and, as his precious stock market collapses, he is freaking out.
Right wing religious conservatives may see babies in cages as the price someone else pays for their conservative judges and tax giveaways to the rich, but once their own health and safety is endangered, how long before they decide that their own survival — a price they have to pay themselves — is no longer an acceptable price?
