I guess no-one told the big dummy that the market rose when it was clear the transition was on?

“That’s a sacred number, 30,000, nobody thought they’d ever see it.”

It’s not sacred, and it was inevitable, and what I want to see is his back, leaving.

Other than that, he’s right.

Oh boy… Remember, Donnie, the market responds to future potential growth, and goes up when the future looks brighter!

The real reason for this “presser” is that Lame Duck l’Orange needed a fix of camera motors whirring and multiple voices shouting, “Mr. President! Mr. President!”

Trump has shifted into “sullen news commentator mode”. Low energy. Sad.

Over 30,000?
I thought that was the numbered directly sickened and killed by White House and campaign super spreader events.

That’s pathetic. We’re lucky that Trump didn’t use the DOA to develop a Federal vaccine instead of leaving it to private drug companies, or else it would be named the Trump Vaccine.

That trial balloon floated by Geraldo the other day didn’t come out of nowhere, I still expect Trump to push for naming at least one of them after him.

Per World-o-meters 264,000 Americans are dead due to Covid-19 and he is celebrating the stock market hitting 30,000 and calls the number sacred. So much for the sanctity of human life.
