Worst quarter since 2008 and it's just the tip of the iceberg. Trump's poor response to the virus is 100% to blame.

Thank you tRUMP.
Can't agree with you on 100%.
Big part, yes, but we were going to have a lot of pain no matter what Trump did in response.
Did he make it much worse? You betcha. But it was going to hurt no matter what.
tRUMP took 100% credit for improving the economy even though it is strictly attributable to Obama. Yet, buffoon-in-chief fails to take any responsbility for the virus crisis even though the fault is plainly his. With him, it's all or nothing. If he can impose those standards on everyone else, then we have the same right to throw it all back in his face.
Recall that under the previous administration whether it be on the old LP forum or anywhere else, if the economy faultered in any way the response was "thank you Obama".
If gas prices went up it was "thank you Obama".
If the national debt went up it was "thank you Obama".
If there was a domestic mass murder or terrorist attack in Europe it was "thank you Obama".
Some even said re the Katrina disaster "thank you Obama" nothwithstanding the fact that he was not in the White House at that time.
Let's always apply a uniform standard. Turning the other cheek does not work in the world of politics or anywhere else except in fairy tales. If one side can make all manner of attribution to one party, then the other side can counter with equal force and equal justification. That's how it works in the real world.
