People should be aware of the risk of the volatility of the markets when shite happens.

Of course they should, but the notion that this is an accurate indicator and reflective of the realities that everyday people face, can we finally put that to bed now?

Cheering Trump for a great stock market is fine, but that doesn't mean all the other economic and unemployment issues don't exist.

We've all been expected to just accept that these record market numbers mean all Americans are doing better.  We now know definitively that this isn't the case. 

Record numbers in Nasdaq while in a recession with massive unemployment and millions infected with a virus that has claimed 115,000 lives so far, protests in the streets because of police brutality against minorities with in some cities putting military boots on the ground against their own citizens and the President finally building a wall, this time around the Whitehouse while cowering in the bunker.

But the Nasdaq, what a great job he's doing, thank you Mr President.

The same wealthy Americans who profited from Trump's tax cuts are now profiting again from the purchasing stock in a fire, or more so virus sale.

And this is indicative of everyday Americans how?

If anything it's as admission that Trump's not been looking after the forgotten people as promised for his entire Presidency with almost a single minded focus solely on the stock markets which we see now means nothing to the experiences and reality for everyday people. 

But we already knew that given his taxation and healthcare policies and actions, but now his one positive indicator that his supporters have used to justify everything else, that no longer exists.

More Records Tumble..

Exactly.  It shows the folly of celebrating these numbers because they don't reflect the reality for real Americans around the country and they never have.

But when it's the only thing you can celebrate about Trump in the face of his disastrous handling of COVID-19 and his continued and worsening health issues, why not scrape the bottom of the barrel, it's all you've got...

"Faustis"?

Nobody is blaming Trump for the virus or the economic issues as a result of closures and lockdowns.

But his response to it is an entirely different thing.  There are real dead Americans as a result of his inaction and lies. 

Benghazi and 4 dead Americans was enough to, still to this day, demand the death of Hillary, but you will defend Trump's actions, or more so inaction, that lead to 10,000's of needless American lives lost and that's without even considering the "don't wear a mask" and "Open up early" nonsense he's been pushing the whole time.

It's a tragic joke.

But I suppose you'll find a conspiracy to blame shift, you always do then you get all skirty when you're called out on it...

They're not irrelevant, the entire US response has been full of mistakes and the people crying "freedom!" aren't helping.

It's not all Trump, again nobody is saying that.

It's just every time Trump is raised, you point to someone else and cry "what about them!?"

You did it again...
