Put your tinfoil hat on and look at this chart:

Yep, Ford, Bush, and Carter lost their re-election (yes, I know Ford wasn't up for re-election but work with me) when they had a bad economy or recession.

From 1900-1960, the only Presidents to lose re-election were Hoover in 1932 (GDP was down that year) and Taft in 1912 (the economy wasn't strong). Every other President up for re-election had a growing economy and, in turn, they won.

It's pretty clear that the ONLY thing that can tank Trump, aside from Dem fraud, is a bad economy.

Let's be honest: stocking up on food and staples isn't such a bad idea even if a Mainland China type of situation coming to America is hard to fathom. That said, is it possible that there are elements in America and the Deep State that are chatting up a pandemic to bring about a recession and the demise of Trump?

"That said, is it possible that there are elements in America and the Deep State that are chatting up a pandemic to bring about a recession and the demise of Trump?"

No doubt. The dems use anything they can to trash Trump. That said, there are also elements that are clearly trying to downplay a situation that has over 40 million in quarantine. This is not a chicken little scenario, nor an Armageddon. But there will be an impact to supply chains and subsequent problems. I'm suspicious of people on both sides of this issue who take an extreme position (the "it's nothing" and the "OMG!!!" crowds) Granted most of the "it's nothing" group are probably just trying to put on a front about what tough guys they are. It's amusing.

These days, seems anything is possible, and I wouldn’t put it past them.
