Just wait until the media picks up on Trump's push to close Mexico border now due to fear of virus coming in from southern border. Spoiler: It's not coming in from Mexico.

It would be pretty much impossible for him to get another tax cut through now no? The way things are going he will get lucky and this will blow over without impacting a ton of people. I guess I should hope for that, but he has to go. I saw someone today post on FB how him and Reagan are the best presidents ever... Seriously Reagan pretty much killed the middle class. I don't get how people in the middle can keep on getting suckered by these idiots.
Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.

Trump is doing it the same way Reagan did: distribute the wealth upwards while slashing the social safety net. The middle class looks down and says "things are getting tighter, but at least those slackers below me ain't getting no more free ride."

He can say whatever he wants. If he promises a cut or a Corona Rebate he doesn't have to deliver. But if he really wants to deliver I'm sure he'll find a way.
