Holy crap is Donald Trump ever having a bad night
At one point today, Donald Trump retweeted an image of himself playing a violin. There was no context provided, but observers quickly took it as a sign that he was fiddling like Nero while his presidency burned. That’s actually rather fitting, considering just how badly things are going for Trump tonight.
Based on calamitously awful overnight futures trading, the stock market is set to open as much as 1300 points down in the morning. And with oil prices also collapsing overnight, it’s clear that the U.S. economy is now in serious trouble going forward – and that Trump is not equipped to handle such a challenge.
Meanwhile Trump still wants us to believe that the coronavirus scare in the United States is just a hoax, even as his GOP allies like Ted Cruz and Paul Gosar have announced this evening that they’re self-isolating because they’ve been exposed to the virus.
Oh, and Kamala Harris endorsed Joe Biden today, making clear that the Democratic unity ticket is coming together rather nicely. Donald Trump’s dream of facing a weakling like Bernie Sanders is quickly fading. Sweet dreams, Donald – and you should ask yourself if you’ve recently shaken Ted Cruz’s hand.
