Not to rain on Trump’s parade, but as the shortages and supply disruptions start making it here from China, I’m sure much of the optimism will fade.

Makes me wonder IG the Chinese have done this deliberately they don’t give a damn about their people AND they hate Trump!!!

“... as the shortages and supply disruptions start making it here from China, I’m sure much of the optimism will fade.”

I see it a little differently. Trump will, as he has done in the past, make a negative into a positive. He will entice all of that production to return here. The new construction and jobs will boost an already stellar economy. Yes, there will be some difficulty if the virus hits the United States, but I will wager the necessary production will ramp up in weeks rather than years.

The optimism will not fade, knowing the slowdown is temporary.

That companies, or Trump for that matter, will sit there and do nothing while their businesses go down is preposterous.

Sort of like the insane prognostications about Y2K all over again.......

Now if this becomes a pandemic a hundred times worse than SARS (which is highly unlikely), then we're all screwed, but unless Trump actually did something to cause it, it's likely he still gets re-elected. Then we'll recover anyway.
