Jeez, it sure does appear that Trump’s bizarro press conference didn’t instill investor confidence, eh?
How could investors doubt the Trump response when he put science hater Mike Pence in charge?
;-)
Pence has nothing to do with this and frankly there isn't much Trump can do since the volatility is caused by fears over the interruption of the supply chain of goods and raw materials from China and other affected Asian countries.
The market will recover on it's own as the virus is contained.
There is nothing the Democrats could do to solve this either, so you might as well give it up Bugs. The world hasn't faced a problem like this for 100 years and commerce wasn't conducted as it is now in 1918.
Until we get a vaccine, quarantining suspected victims is all anybody has. The objections to Pence are all based on a lie. As usual.
