Did Trump Ruin Our Economy for Nothing?
American Thinker.com ^ | April 6, 2020 | Anthony J. Ciani

"Trump ruined our economy and all for naught!" "Trump and his capitalism put millions out of work for nothing!"

If you haven't already heard this from the "mainstream media" (AKA "fake news"), you soon will. Fake news media, doing the bidding of their leftist and Democrat masters, have been trying to destroy Donald Trump with hoaxes since he announced his candidacy, or maybe ever since Trump first questioned Barack Obama's claim of being born in the U.S. The fake news first claimed that President Trump overreacted to COVID-19, then Trump was belittling COVID-19 and ignoring the experts, then Trump didn't act fast enough, and soon the fake news media will come full circle to proclaim that Trump hyped it all up and shut down the U.S. economy for nothing. For once, will the fake news media report something real? Will this be a scandal with some weight of truth, eating into the base that never bought the prior hoaxes?

As an expert in computer modeling and simulation, with some familiarity in epidemiology, I can assure you that the computer models upon which Trump has based his policies are absolute bunk. The real-world data from Wuhan (however much you want to believe it) and the Diamond Princess and other countries and cruise ships suggest that COVID-19 kills more of the people it infects (0.5% vs. 0.1%) but infects far fewer people than influenza (3% vs. 15%). There might have been 50,000 deaths in the U.S. if we had done absolutely nothing. The fake news media will have plenty of experts to back that up, and they will be reinforced with the final numbers, which might not even top 20,000, including the exaggerations.

Bill Gates deserves to be mentioned by name.

Billygoat? ABSOLUTELY.

Choking off citizens from each other/humanity as population reduction is carried out by any means necessary..

A word to describe them hasn’t been introduced into the lexicon. They left “evil” in their rear-view mirror a long time ago. Super-criminal to the nth degree.

It’s a workable template that can be used as many times as needed with enemies domestic and foreign with plausible deniability built into it.

Bill Gates/Fauci/Birx fraud is being exposed!

So overnight the IMHE — the official Bill Gates group Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx have been promoting cut their numbers by more than half!

Here is what the IMHE NOW HAS for April 5th:

– All beds needed: Was 179,267 … Now is 90,353
– ICU beds needed: Was 33,176 … Now is 17,589
– Invasive ventilators: Was 26,544 … Now is 14,951

They cut their projections by almost HALF!… And THEY’RE STILL TOO HIGH!

Yep, we need to abandon China and their cheap slave labor we are addicted to.

Yes, but not by himself. It was a team effort.

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM!!

America's economy is NOT ruined. It will bounce back beyond all expectations. We will be stronger than ever. But we need to discard China as a trade ally.

I'll gladly pay fifty cents more for a pair of flip flops. Let the chinks reap what they've sown. The "Chink Virus" is a global catastrophe and they own it.

I think this article is more an admonition of things to come than an attack on Trump.

Our media is officially purely the most dangerous enemy we have a nation has ever faced.

Yesterday it was “Trump ending this early is killing grandpa.” Tomorrow when the projections and models crash, and they are crashing, the media will effortlessly pivot to “Trump destroyed the economy for nothing.” It will be as if Fauci never existed.

Then it will be as if the Coronavirus never existed and, instead, it will he blaming the economy on Trump’s tax cuts.

We have a problem and if isn’t an abstract one, it is real and more dangerous than any virus. It is our media.

30,000 dead is...ok?
By your own numbers?

...and if you’re wrong, too low by a lot?
...and you knew your surely correct numbers when?

Decisions has to be made, and sensible “if we do nothing” numbers at the time topped 1,000,000 dead.

Which kind of wrong would you rather be? Too safe? Or a million dead?

Well - we did have an inordinate number of FReepers howling for him to do even more than he allowed...

I don’t do Facebook, but I imagine it doesn’t look all that different than this thread.

Studiously uninformed, even when the truth slaps them in the face.

What a bunch of ignoramus Freepers.

The author isn’t promoting the idea in the headline, he’s warning that the MSM will.

Yep. The President is not afraid of confrontation; so, the threat warranted his response.

If the malaria drug +, works, it will be hard for the propaganda media to win with their lies like they usually can. Both the media attacks on Trump for recommending their use and the public limitations, delays, even denials of its use, by governors, will have cost unnecessary suffering, even lives.

I am praying that the number of people cured from using the drugs becomes very obvious by Easter.

Something very weird just happened with autocorrect. Wanting to use the modifier “propaganda” for media, I only had to type a few letters before the word was suggested in my iPhone. BUT when I read over my post, the word propaganda had been changed to “Pelosi.” I have never used the expression. “ Pelosi media” but it is sure is appropriate

That is awesome. Very appropriate.
