The following is an excerpt from the 4/27/2020 Dotard press conference (as transcribed by me while watching it on MSNBC).
| predisent Dotard: ...one day, because of something that should have never been allowed to happen, we had to close our country -- we had to close our economy. I built it. We had the best employment numbers and the best unemployment numbers -- for Hispanic Americans, for African Americans, for Asian Americans. For everybody. Best stock market numbers... We'll never forget these great people (coronavirus victims who have died) that sacrificed for a reason of incompetence -- or something else other than incompetence. What happened at a point where they could have protected the whole world. But we had the greatest economy ever -- in the history of our world. And I had to turn it off to get to a point where we are today. |
In regards to the economy, Barack Obama was the one who built it. Dotard took the good economy and goosed it by massively cutting the taxes on corporations and wealthy people. Which had the effect of running up the debt massively. And (of course) stimulating the economy. A result any dumbass could have predicted, yet trumpers think Dotard is an economic genius. Perhaps because such irresponsibility makes Dotard look good while leaving the mess for the next Democratic president to worry about.
Secondly, Dotard (ironically) notes that incompetence is to blame. Dotard means incompetence by the Chinese government. That, or they intentionally didn't tell us so we'd be unprepared. But Dotard did know this was coming. The first warning was way back in November of 2019. Yet Dotard did nothing (except downplay the virus) until March 13 (the date he declared a national emergency).
Dotard destroyed our economy. If he had acted sooner we'd be looking at 90 percent fewer deaths!
Now a third (and final) point. According to the pro-Dotard blogger Minus FJ, what we should be doing is nothing. Because "it's just the flu, people" and "a relatively harmless virus". But according to Dotard, "we had to close our economy".
Obviously Dotard does not agree with Minus about doing nothing. But that's another Minus conspiracy. The reason is either because "DJT did make a mistake. He listened to experts" or because "he's waiting for his Deep State bitches to take their shoes off his naked balls".
Regarding the cartoon below -- obviously it was put out before Bernie dropped out and Biden became the nominee. But the point remains. Dotard pumped up the debt bigly in order to stimulate the economy and make himself look good.
That's all gone now and it is NOT coming back. Certainly not as quickly as Dotard's delusions tell him it will. And no, I'm not happy that Dotard's incompetence has resulted in the economy quickly flying into the crapper. But it's not surprising. And maybe a good thing it happened before Dotard was "elected" to a second term.
