    3. @Marvin Guigar ~ Calling Biden a pervert while supporting Trump is the epitome of hypocrisy.

    1. @Josef Yes it was, considering the great recession prior to the arrival of Obama who then handed a stable economy, good stock market performance & low unemployment rate(4.7%) to Trump…..hence, Obama’s economy. When Trump was a candidate, he called Obama’s economy “cooked”…..he then took credit for it when he became POTUS. The economy is now his.

    1. Both – older people with their lives – younger people paying off the debt and job losses.

    1. You can shut down the economy to slow down the virus, but this will make unemployment skyrocket. You can keep the economy open and keep unemployment low, but this will lead to thousands of coronavirus deaths. You can’t do both.

    2. @Minnie Minosa for sure. I wish it was that easy. ” Its their fault cause of blah blah blah”. Either way its happening and we should focus on learning from it one day at a time.

    3. @Cliff Leatherby exactly , learn from our mistakes . Blaming people for the sake of laying blame accomplishes nothing

    4. @Minnie Minosa Actually, we had the pandemic response team and the CDC had a pandemic playbook which would serve as basic guidelines of what to do during a pandemic.

      Trump threw both in the trash.

  1. Wow they took the PPP money and now they won’t hire back the workers… Wow.. They should of send the 💰 money straight to the American People’s instead of the Business…

    1. If that theory were true, lottery winners wouldn’t be poor a few years after being millionaires.😀

  2. Worse economy and 🇺🇸 health in history while trump added 6 trillion $ in national debt exceed or GDP were 🇺🇸 owes more than they earn

    1. Whose tired of ALL THIS WINNING????
      DRUMPFTERDS, Are you tired of so much winning??? Hahaha.
      People will start losing their healthcare. Say Thank You Drumpf..👍👍👍👍

  3. The American economy is Trump new casino. He is all in on red. Too bad its not his own money he gambles with, but that of the tax payers.

  4. Biden needs to address this. Biden needs to name a running mate. She’s going to be the most important person in the election.

  5. Atlantic City was doing bad to begin with. The mall behind the reporter was empty before the pandemic and it will be empty after the pandemic. There was an Apple store that went out of business a year before in that mall. Apple stores don’t go out of business, but that one did.

    1. Obama and Trump made a dystopian facial reorganization social credit system together in sunny California it’s in a permanent lockdown enjoy

  6. Woman, you borrow a face mask from Batman? Where is your N95 face mask? This is bad example for people. Omg from Singapore.

  7. Does any of this talk really do anything to help the unemployed? Corporate media gives no meaningful information.

  8. 100% Trump/GOP fail. Infection rate, death rate, testing fail, economic fallout… all on Team Trump.

    1. Yea! Go get em tiger! Trump caused World War 2 and all traffic fatalities too! Everblue Freediving for President 2020! Here’s an idea…let’s see how long we can live underwater with no air tanks! Genius.

    2. Funny how trolls and Trump worshippers believe that insulting everyone and spouting nonsense will get Trump re-elected. I am not a Democrat but I will say that in 08 the Dems had actual reasons to elect their guy and were busy proving he was worthy of a vote… guess its better to just insult everyone? There isnt one good reason to vote GOP. Not one… and I was mostly GOP. Trump doesnt have the popular vote, never did. He wont get re-elected without it, the odds are well against an intervention by the EC unless he buys them.

    3. @Everblue Freediving I could care less about Trump. However the legacy media and those with TDS are so guilty of exposing their derangement. Obama would have had no clue how to handle this situation. Mommy, Bobby is hitting me again” No Cindy, that is Trumps fault.

    4. Even funnier how Trump worshippers and Trolls refer to those who disagree w the Fraud in Chief as suffering from mental disorders.. Trump and his worshippers getting Biden elected one insult at a time… their hatred of the media is irrational as well. Its like hating a library. CNN says a report came out, I go read it, consider it from several sources and angles snd make my own decision…. they arent sports teams. You cant blame them for reporting on legal actions when you can look up the court docs and see, for example, that Trump and his family stole donations to their foundation, got caught and settled the fraud case under orders to never operate a nonorofit and take court ordered classes on how not to fraud nonprofits.. in 2018…. and by the way, how many times does Trump get to lie and steal before we call him a liar and a thief?
