Trump's Re-election Chances Suddenly Look Shakier

President Trump faces the biggest challenge yet to his prospects of being re-elected, with his advisers’ two major assumptions for the campaign — a booming economy and an opponent easily vilified as too far left — quickly evaporating.

After a year in which Mr. Trump has told voters that they must support his re-election or risk watching the economy decline, the stock market is reeling and economists are warning that a recession could be on the horizon because of the worsening spread of the coronavirus.


And instead of elevating Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, as Mr. Trump made clear was his hope, Democrats have suddenly and decisively swung from a flirtation with socialism to former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who has run a primary campaign centered on a return to political normalcy

we have been in one since last October. Yes we had a big Market spike December which was expected. Every recent Recession acted in a similiar pattern.

King Orange Anus just dumped 1.43 trillion into wall street via the Fed. Wow,and we thought the Last Bank and Wall Street was a biggie. Folks,it is going to get real like right now.
