@[Joseph Cox](user:127658), this sounds downright irresponsible and heartless to me. You are saying that we should let people die, because shutting things down will hurt the economy. "Protecting the economy" is why #Trump did not take proper precautions from the beginning. And yes, if he did, the economy would have taken a hit. But it's going to take a hell of a bigger hit once the country goes into complete lockdown! Trump should have been warning people, instead he encouraged people to go out and live normally. The deaths are in his head. @[Gary Anderson](user:4798), talk some sense into this man.

We all hope the #Coronavirus would fade away. But policy can't assume that will happen. #Trump being surrounded by the virus could ultimately be helpful. Of course, he is likely worried about himself and not his rally followers.

#Trump keeps pretending the #coronavirus is no big deal. I just read that Congressman Matt Gaetz who came into contact with coronavirus patient spent the weekend with Trump. He may find out first hand that the virus is not a hoax after all!

Don't forget, tariff wars are socialism. #Trump is still producing economic madness on that front.

You are right about that. I heard some of #Trump's idiotic statements today. Like saying he has a hunch that his mortality rate estimate is more accurate than the CDC or WHO's estimate. Like he knows more than the medical professionals? Oh my!

How was #Trump wrong about the #tradewar? Our economy is booming while China's is now a mess and half the country is locked down.

Is the fact that he can "buy the presidency" such a bad thing? Unlike #Trump who merely got his daddy's money and filed for bankruptcy numerous times, #Bloomberg is a self made man whose success adds to his credentials.

But do you disagree that #Trump has kept most of his promises to do what he said he'd do?

Yes, China has already quarantined 20 million people. #Trump should have no qualms about taking this outbreak as seriously as they do. #coronavirus

Lol, no #Trump certainly did not become president due to his kindness ;-)

The question is, is the author correct that #Trump's policies will end up hurting the US dollar?

Personally, I like #Trump and plan to vote for him again. But I'm not one of those nuts who thinks he does no wrong. Is he a liar? Sure. Is he egotistical and self absorbed? Absolutely. But I also think all politicians are, they just hide it better. At the end of the day it comes down to two things for me - the economy and security. And I think he's pretty good for both.

Well, with #Trump gutting the EPA, I doubt he cares much about pollution.

Hard to believe #Trump doesn't believe #FoxNews is pro-Trump enough. He wants to control the media too? That will be the day.

Everyone talks tough. Few take action though. #Trump took a bold move to protect US interests. The question is now, how far will things escalate?

I feel like all of #Trump's achievements have just been a tease. We keep hearing about progress on negotiations with North Korea and China, etc. But nothing ever really changes or happens.
