I remember predicting this happening on 2p2
Yeah if there’s one way this presidency ends it’s we wake up one morning to traders jumping from skyscrapers on live TV as the DJIA dips into four figures and Mika gasps and faints on air. Just don’t forget to buy the motherfucking dip.

Trump doctor hid cauliflower in mashed potatoes to improve diet: report
President Trump’s former doctor reportedly hid cauliflower in his mashed potatoes in an attempt to improve the president’s diet.
Former White House physician Ronny Jackson told The New York Times that he regretted leaving his position before he could implement the diet and exercise regimen planned for Trump.
“The exercise stuff never took off as much as I wanted it to,” he said. “But we were working on his diet. We were making the ice cream less accessible, we were putting cauliflower into the mashed potatoes.”

trump will tweet some nonsense about a bigly phase 2 China deal and the buyers will be back.
With interest rates so low the market will always bounce back until businesses actually make losses and can’t borrow any more - even then trump will probably give them money just like the farmers.
I’ll quote it this time since it’s a serious answer:
Health officials warn that spread of coronavirus in U.S. appears inevitable
"Ultimately, we expect we will see community spread in the United States,” Nancy Messonnier, a top official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters. “It’s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses.”
Lotta people gonna die.

If indeed we are headed for recession, it is likely to be long and very painful.
The United States cannot use either of the traditional tools to fight a slowdown: fiscal policy (taxes) and monetary policy (interest rates). We are already running $1 trillion deficits and the debt as a percentage of GDP is becoming problematic (though there is evidence we have a ways to go here). More importantly, the GOP isn’t going to get on board with a massive government spending push in a downturn, and will instead almost certainly push austerity, which will prolong the slump. Meanwhile the Fed will be powerless to stimulate demand via lower interest rates and there is a very real possibility rates in the U.S. could go negative. This is to say nothing of demographic headwinds, the student debt crisis or ever-exploding health care costs.
