I mean, just saying "you're wrong, actually the economy is good" worked out like ACES for Biden, so I see only upside to this strategy.

The economy is going great... for the investors!

Spot on. This is Biden’s policy extended. We’ve been a slow rollout in the recession for years. It’s just affecting more people now.

At least Dems and the media will acknowledge a bad economy under a Republican president.

That too but republicans always collapse the economy with deregulation and tax cuts

Democrats do, too. They’re controlled by the same megadonors. But the media only covers it under republicans.

"Let me tell you, folks, we’re going to beat this recession—big time. People say, 'Mr. Trump, how are you going to do it?' I say, 'Because I’m Trump!' Nobody knows recessions better than me. I’ve stared down bankruptcies, bad deals, terrible economies—and I always come out winning. It’s what I do!

Other people? They have no clue. Sleepy economists, crooked policymakers—total disasters. They talk, they yap, they write reports. I fix. I build. I make deals so good the economy starts apologizing for slowing down!

We’re not going to have a V-shaped recovery. We’re going to have a TRUMP-shaped recovery. It’s going to be so strong, so powerful, your wallets are going to get tired of being full. You'll be like, 'Please, Mr. President, I can’t handle this much prosperity!' And I’ll say, 'Too bad, it’s happening!'

So buckle up, America. Recession? We’re going to crush it. Nobody else can do it, folks. Just me. Believe me."

Way too coherent.

Predictably, executive leadership has taken an official stance of sticking fingers in their ears and going "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU."

If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases
