It's interesting to see the Trump administration handle this:

1) Down play
2) Inform CDC that they are not longer allowed to speak directly the public
3) Filter CDC information through the Trump administration spokes people
4) Use this as a reason to cut more taxes?!?!
5) Play golf all weekend

I can't imagine why people are freaking out.

Wash your hands and don’t be an asshole and go out in public spaces hacking and sneezing all over everyone. You’ll be fine. If you’re sick, don’t go visit your grandmother.  If CNN ran a counter of flu deaths, people would be freaking out too. Disney World is still open.

I think my point is Trump’s obvious main concern is the economy and the stock market.

Silencing the CDC makes his motives suspect. Then suggesting today that because of Corona virus more tax cuts may be necessary.  Seems opportunistic to me.

The economy is his ticket to reelection and the only thing giving his dumbassery cover, so yeah, he's going to go all out to protect it. The economy should straighten out by May (if not, umph).

Bernie just said on the townhall that he wouldn’t close the border under any circumstance, even to stop the corona virus. This is the far left in America folks.

Biden running the table so far, Michigan, Mississippi and Missouri in the win column. I don't think he can win Idaho and N. Dakota, but Washington polls were close. If he takes that one, it's all but over. It's almost over now. And we're right where most thought we would be: Biden vs. Trump.

He needs to name a veep soon to share the load of these appearances, because he CANNOT have more incidents like he did with those autoworkers. He wouldn't listen to his handlers who were trying to get him out of there.

Exit polling is showing Biden is performing well in the places Hillary did not. Blue collar areas. If that plays out in November, Biden will win easily.
