If anybody bothered to listen to Trump's presser today, he pretty much hit it out of the park. We see what he's been up to. They had the public health officials PLUS reps from the big boys, Walgreens, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Labcorp, etc. all lined up to explain how they were going to work in public/private partnership with the government. People have been bitching about testing, they're gonna set up DRIVE THROUGH testing nationwide in their parking lots. The whole thing just blew me away. It's no wonder the Dow gained almost 2,000 points today. Panicky traders know what they heard, know it's the real deal, plus, they now know that the thing isn't as bad as the MSM is leading us to believe, backed up by facts.
Prediction: This whole thing will be in the rear view mirror by the end of May, just in time for Trump rally season! Compare and contrast what was announced today, and the travel bans, and other actions to date with the milquetoast response to the swine flu a decade ago. Hell, Trump is even going to top off the strategic petroleum reserve, since oil is at uncharacteristic lows, so we prop up the oil industry while buying at bargain rates.
THIS is why you put a businessman in the White House, folks!
