The Federal government will spend over $2.5 trillion in just the next few months to try and offset the economic impact of the coronavirus. This spending, along with lower tax revenues, will create deficits and levels of debt that the U.S.

Occupy Hades's insight:

Maybe it's time for Donald Trump to claw back all the tax breaks and taxpayer dollars he gave to other rich people and corporations via the GOP tax scam. While he's at it, Trump should make them pay the same tax rates they were paying before he took office. Just a thought.

Supporters turn on Trump for ‘flat-out lying’ about coronavirus: ‘He’s got no idea what the hell he’s doing’ – Raw Story

Supporters turn on Trump for ‘flat-out lying’ about coronavirus: ‘He’s got no idea what the hell he’s doing’ – Raw Story | Agents of Behemoth | Scoop.it

President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis has been the breaking point for some of his fans in rural Virginia.A dozen seafood and agricultural workers in the state’s Northern Neck peninsula — where Trump beat Hillary Clinton by nearly 10 points in 2016 — expressed frustration to the Insider website over the president’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Occupy Hades's insight:

Donald Trump treats Trump supporters like they're expendable. As if they're nothing more than a means to an end.

Occupy Hades's insight:

Donald Trump isn't trying to help anyone but himself. He knew about the virus and he didn't warn the rest of us until it was too late, so the answer is yes.
