More than a week ago I posted my view the Trump must get out in front of this virus because a failing economy is the only thing that can deny him reelection. The Democrats will try to hang the coronavirus on Trump as his Hurricane Katrina.

The democrats are likely actively seeding our nation with coronavirus as we chat. There is nothing horrific beyond them.

How do you propose he would get in front of this virus? It's up to China to contain it. So far we're doing fine. He's not one to be shy about travel restrictions.

Probably the thing he could do is reduce sanctions if the virus causes major economic disruption in China. On the other hand Trump has made is a priority to buy and hire American and warned against relying too much on foreign production in critical manufacturing areas. Depending on how well that's happened, we might be better set to weather the next recession than expected if it starts abroad. There's no question we'll have a recession, it's just a question of timing and mitigation. Because of the tools overused during the Obama years by the Fed, Trump probably won't have as many options available to him.

We do not need to be talking down the economy but it's expected from the Left because the economy is a huge Trump re-electon strength.

“...because a failing economy is the only thing that can deny him reelection.”

A failing economy did not deny Obama his reelection.

I don’t think open border democrats that want to allow diseased persons easy entry into the United States and democrat candidates pining for health care for ALL illegal border jumpers can rally any energy against the Trump administration for a disease that is new on the earth.
