We are now back to the Obama era economy.  But mark my words, we will rebound from this.  MAGA ON STEROIDS IS COMING! | It took a worldwide pandemic.  It took a 35% plunge in the stock market.  It took 6 feet of social distancing.  It took quarantining.  It took many small businesses closing.  It took cancelling practically everything, to bring the USA economy back to the OBama high mark. | image tagged in maga | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Leftist strategy is predictable sometimes. Here, you have a tanking of the markets, for the purpose of then turning around, and saying 'ooo look what happened' as if it wasn't the intention... It's like the juvenile equivalent, where one kid purposely trips another kid, then points, and says 'LOOK, he fell down'.

You mean like Mitch McConnell circa 2008-2012? Desperate to make Obama a one term president so much so that they deliberately made the recovery as hard as possible on American people? Conservative strategy: if it happened more than 5 years ago our constituents are too dumb to remember and we shouldn’t remind them.

Sure, that could very well have been the intention (I'm no real Mitch fan, or Paul Ryan fan either); although I think there were Obama Admin and D policies that protracted recession recovery (one thing was focusing heavily on the unfortunate ACA)...
** But MSNBCNN strategy exploits the THREE WEEK memory span of the Public -- where anything that happened more than 3 weeks ago, is forgotten (unless it's reinforced with 'reminders'); this allows them to swing 180 degrees, ignore, and/or completely rewrite the history on the 'stories'.

Oh, I agree that FOX has an 'angle', but more than MSNBC? (MSNBC has more of an angle than CNN, but CNN is much more loathsome)... Actually FOX has been shifting 'left' over the past several years... If you have the time, watch a few hours of FOX and you'll observe many instances of regular entities and a few hosts who trash Trump... I don't watch any cable channels because I do not have cable TV anymore.... The 'death panel' thing was gimmicky, although under Medicare and other rules (some existing for decades), there have always been death 'panels'... Try getting a kidney transplant, if you're 80 and are stuck on dialysis.... btw, I am in the medical field (PharmD RPh).

The fact the Market has rebounded to the Obama high mark already is strong indication that the people who bought you every market crash in the last century no longer hold the control they once had. If your wise enough to understand what that means good if not go learn something.

Or you open up the markets and drop the lockdowns where infection is under control.

It doesn't have to be recession or depression but the people who have engineered the response want you to be poorer and the country and world weaker. It is unlikely that America will be able to keep shutdown and 100 other countries are the same. Within 1 weeks time enough statistics will be apparent to decide if the risks of not reopening outweigh the risks of staying closed. I dont think it will be inevitable that a depression occurs because the people who have caused every market crash last century are weaker than they have ever been in their history.
I can only say that the most comprehensive stats available on this pandemics progression are clearly indicating less than 0.2% mortality in given populations today. I will be very suprised if the numbers suddenly quadruple in a week.
Please try being less pessimistic and if your relying only on whats being told by Media then learn a thing or too on your own and go view Data on the Pandemic. It's not a particularly deadly virus on its own and practising distancing measures and allowing those who have recovered to go back to normal will be sufficient to hold secondary infectious waves at manageable levels. Depression can be averted and if we'reup and running within the next 30 days probably no long recession either if at all.

I don't think the preliminary numbers justified the shutdown to begin with, unless you look at the mortality rate vs age and compare it to the ages of our so called representatives and policy makers. I can understand the theory behind flattening the curve as I live with a nurse. But a shut down never should have been the answer for this and I'm not as optimistic about an economic bounce back as you, though I'm very hopeful for it. 10 million unemployment claims in the last two weeks of March, a spike in bankruptcies and I've just read a few smaller banks have folded. Pair that with this stimulous package pumping up inflation with 2trillion non existent dollars and the predatory loans built into it. I'm thinking we're going to see about as much bounce as a deflated basketball has.

On the day that Trump made his false claim about lupus patients, the Lupus Foundation of America put out a statement that said, “There is no evidence that taking hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is effective in preventing a person from contracting the coronavirus (COVID-19). People with lupus should follow the guidance of their doctor and the safety guidelines being issued by the CDC.”

trump is a threat to the health and well being of all Americans and more that are just visiting or listening to him from somewhere else. please, your hero worship is not helping anyone including yourself.

I heard new admissions were down in NY.
Do you seriously believe they would use central park as a graveyard/ mass grave?
Personally I think they're doing a great PSYOP on New York City, have you seen the empire state buildings current lighting arrangement?

There is also reports from people who have broken the stay in place rules that on 7 hospitals they visited not one was overflowing with patients or visibly in a stressed state and that they viewed the makeshift hospital in Central Park which was empty of patients.
Somebody is lying about the state of things and I dont mean you.

Here's the updated information on New York: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page

The one day of data isn't enough to make a claim about the rate of cases, hospitalization, and deaths. In 3 or 4 days, we'll have more information.

And how do you know the people reporting on the hospitals are any judge of what constitutes a stressed state?

At the Lennix Hill they have trailers on the street outside the hospital full of corpses. FEMA is sending 85 more trucks to act as temp morgues.

Yes one day is a nothing much and yes we cant know their expertise. If i find a supposed video which is accompanying that info I will come back with a link for you.
I dont doubt the temp morque thing.
You dont mention directly whether you are there in NY but have you seen the Empire state? It's so wrong what they are doing with it to highlight whats happening. It's only creating more fear when people are pretty aware that others are dying without being reminded by emergency vehicle lighting on one of the taller building beaming out red light.

The corporate tax cuts, deregulation, etc which drove the already high market to further heights are no longer available to use. The FED rate is now basically zero, where Trump wanted it all along. They announced "unlimited QE" and the market barely flinched. Not sure what steroids are left in the tool box to drive the "MAGA economy" you're talking about. I mean theoretically they COULD further cut taxes while handing out trillions in govt checks but.............

Or they could start businesses up again and trim the trillions of waste in the federal govt. Take back the power of the purse from the Federal Reserve, then cut taxes by 50%, set the interest rate based on a math equation instead of the whims of the private bankers and we'd have a booming economy.

The OP of this meme is giving trump credit for the linear passage of time in a capitalist economy. And trump totally aggravated all of those circumstances that caused the death of thousands and the loss of trillions of dollars of value. Dump Trump 2020. Chances are we will get vote by mail and trump will argue with the blue mayor of Michigan while all his voters in that state die. His chances to hack the electoral college a second time is diminishing by the day.

Wasn't it Rosensteins sister who first cast massive exagerated fear about the deaths that would occur as a result of the corona virus which triggered the beginning of the markets bear run downward?

Your memory is pathetic on this i'm sure so dont need to answer. It's ok because i know the answer and she did it as all you chicken shits on the left do, they did it while he was unable to respond to the claim while on his way out of the country in the air at 35000 feet. Like a thief in the night which you clearly are also.

You people do not know what is best for yourselves but you want to tell everyone else what they did with no reflection upon your inputs and what you added to the situation. You on the left should be ashamed of yourselves and even more so when people are dying and your politicians want to fatten up bills with pork so they can get kickbacks to put in the coffers of the DNC. A DNC which is going broke without taxpayer money funding it because their former voters sure as shit are not rushing to contribute.
Face facts the Democratic Party has no head and is dying, running around in circles trying to create and continuing to perpetuate old lies. Lies which once proven as lies you still continue to say it happened. You are like little children lacking in wisdom and without any discernment of the fact that your party is dead and nothing you can say is adding anything positive to any situation.

Trump will be re-elected not because he he is perfect but because he has the country's interest at the highest level on the podium. Trumps politics is not necessarily Republican it is foremost about freedom and the sooner the realisation that left and right does not represent the interests of the peoples well then the whole of the world can move forward in prosperity. Until then we will have those who actualy do good for the greatest and those who wish to do the greatest good for themselves.

Projecting beliefs is what the left is exceptional at and someone needs to start a go fund me page to supply however many million hand held mirrors are required for the left to see they always blame the other guy for what they do. The left is aligned with the Deepstate and they also are clearly weaker than in a long time because the markets are already back at the Obama leaving levels. Just like the Democratic party the Deepstate is weak and failing.
I'm not going to touch on the once in a lifetime aspect of this pandemic which we already clearly know your belief.

The stock market is expected to gain in value over time. This is the entire foundation of retirement savings and many other aspects of our economy.

Yes, covid-19 presents difficult circumstances. But many of them could have been avoided or decisively mitigated with proper leadership. As Trump 2013 would have put it: whatever happens or doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.

Trump 2020 has a different view.

Trump has some behaviors that find objectionable, and I do not think that he is as "great" as he evidently thinks he is.

Can you hear the "but" coming?

The idea that Trump, or governor This, or congressman That, could have foreseen Covid-19 (what some describe as a once in a lifetime event) and hence have been better prepared for it is just scapegoating.

Trump was the first of world leaders to issue travel ban from China (in late JANUARY)... Not only did all the D's fail to even be aware of coronavirus issue, they attacked Trump on the travel ban for being 'racist' and 'xenophobic'.... Indeed, Schiff, Pelosi, Nadler, Schumer, had their heads up their butts with the phony impeachment (remember that, or did the 'Media' allow you to 'forget' ?). In fact, people like Pelosi and De Blasio, were telling people to go 'out on the town', or 'eat in Chinatown, and 'live life normally', well into late FEBRUARY, and even MARCH!

The link you reference lists its sources: Politico, the LA Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post - all known for decades as liberal spin factories. I suppose a reference to Fox and Friends is your idea of "balance."

Trump isn't the perfect president, I grant you -- far from it. But expecting him to be prescient is pretty ridiculous. No one else in world has done any better, because no one ever really believed the long running narrative about the possibility of a pandemic tearing through cities. Coronavirus was just another scare like all the others that we've been warned about. Trump wasn't any more or less prepared than Obama or Bush, but some people foster a rabid hatred for him for which every event in their lives becomes fuel for that hate. That rabid opposition not only creates sympathy for Trump (if you can believe it) but makes those who engage in it appear as more unhinged than Trump.
