A headline for the ages...

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is hoping for a "miracle" that will make the coronavirus disappear but tanking stock markets and signs the disease is stalking America are delivering their verdict on his scattershot management of the crisis.

A historic Wall Street sell off, the first case on US soil that could not be traced to travel to countries battling the virus, and news of drug shortages outpaced White House efforts to show everything was under control.

"It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear," Trump said at the White House Thursday as the virus marched across Asia and Europe after US officials said the US should brace for severe disruption to everyday life.

The President also warned that things could "get worse before it gets better," but he added it could "maybe go away. We'll see what happens. Nobody really knows."

4. He should summon his gang of evangelical sorcerers

and have them command the virus to depart. What could possibly go wrong?

5. He may be figuring out he wasn't ready to be president.

This disease has the wrong name. Considering Trump's response to it and destroying the CDC, it should be renamed "Covfefevirus".

The orange dimwit should take ownership of this pandemic.

6. MSNBC just reported that at CPAC this AM Mulvaney told audience to turn off their teevees

telling them this is a media story to bring down trump.....these fuckers are going to need a miracle

7. And how many of them are anti-vaxxers?

This should solve the Electoral College problem.

8. Mulvaney knows that the virus spreads through Fox.

Many people are saying. I don't know but many people, the best people, all the best people, are saying that watching Fox is how this thing spreads.
