If he’s letting them know when he’s switching between doom and gloom, they’re making $$$$$$$$$$ on market reaction. That’s a lot of the current game. He’s discovered the market is his toy, and he’s sharing his toy with people who are “nice to” him.

This is leadership by chaos, which always ends in disaster. This is not an administration that governs. It is a tedious daily television show with one hero who spends each day conjuring up an enemy and defeating him/her/them.

To any politician who might be considering the political consequences of raising hell about a legal American resident who was kidnapped and taken to a foreign torture gulag, please don't focus group the Constitution.

The GOP COVID Committee report is wild. The virus is a Chinese bioweapon designed by Fauci ... and it was so mild that the US should have taken zero precautions ... and Democratic governors didn't take enough precautions ... and we should have let everyone get it.
