    • eh, if that includes C19 related stuff, that's a wee bit unfair. don't know why i'm in any way trying to defend the cunt, but..Nairn
    • Hopefully in his second term he'll get all these jobs back and unify the country, making it Great Again.
      Here's hoping, eh?      Nairn
    • what a loser...neverscared
    • I dont like or agree with Trump in any way but this is bias as fuckmoldero
    • @Nairn Right, but both Reagan and Bush Jr (and maybe even Clinton, though I'm not sure) presided over recessions, and still managed to be in the positives.Continuity
    • Trump inherited a booming economy from Obama, so if he gets credit for the jobs created by that then he's responsible for the jobs lost no matter the reason.zarkonite
    • @nairn: why isn't it fair? did he handle C19 as best as anyone could? He's in charge, the buck should stop with him.zarkonite
    • if it has to be explained to you, there really is no pointmoldero
    • @zark and all - but give the figures we've seen over the past few months, this fucker that we're amidst now is much-beyond any normal trajectory.Nairn
    • ALL Countries 'in the west etc' are going to see a massive shit on jobs before all this C19 shit is out.Nairn
    • You'll note that your graph falls short, historically, of WW2 and preceeding Great Depression. This shit could be on that scale. Rightly or Wrongly.Nairn
    • This is a recession AND a self-devouring bailout. All's internalised. A worst-case recession. The normally- relied-upon externalities are also implodingNairn
    • yupmoldero
    • Have a look at WW2 figures: https://i.insider.co…zarkonite
    • They're actually better than what we have now. Let's get this straight, an entire WORLD WAR did not tank the economy as hard but Trump bears no blame for this?zarkonite
    • .. nd yes I know it's a biased bar graph. It's still a fact. He should have seen it coming, he should have done more to prevent job losses so I think it's fair.zarkonite
    • Given he disbanded the only security they had, he should go to the fucking guillotine.

    • It's not fair because there would have been massive unavoidable job loss and death regardless of who was in office. I do think it could have been lessened, thomonospaced
    • ^ can't argue with that.zarkonite
    • Yeah, you can. Here in Seattle medical professionals were worried about this as early as December. Found a the first few cases in January IIRC.garbage
    • People were shitting bricks about how bad it could be, and the CDC was ordered to stop testing. It could absolutely be better than this, but this..garbage
    • ..administration is more worried about a bad look than the people of this country. Fuck them, they were worried about numbers, not people.garbage
    • Seattle isn't the only place it started, though. It was gonna get here and spread regardless. I agree it could be better, but it was unavoidable.monospaced
    • I can't wait to be able to compare job losses in the US with the rest of the world, we'll see how badly he fumbled.zarkonite
    • I agree he fumbled and made it worse. There's no arguing with that. But it could not have been prevented, and therefore it's unfair to blame it all on him.monospaced
