That's an excellent question, because I heard Mexico is paying for it.

The citizens that Trump actually cares about are thriving during the pandemic:

"US billionaires have become $565 billion richer since March 18, according to a report published Thursday by the Institute for Policy Studies, a progressive think tank.
Total wealth for billionaires now stands at $3.5 trillion, up 19% from the low point near the beginning of the pandemic, the report said."

The douche nozzle is feeling the need to let the world know he fired Mattis and that Kelly was NOT in his "inner circle".
He could possibly be the most conflicted man in the world. He's an egomaniac and yet he's also extremely insecure.

I'm laughing because he's now being taunted that there is a call for 1 million people to descend on?/upon? the White House Saturday night.

Interesting, but feels a little misleading...i know we are supposed to hate the rich, but while I dont doubt the stats are truthful I feel like you've got to kind of look at the whole picture.

Regardless of what time frame, most of the time I'd be willing to guess that over a several month period "US billionaires get richer".....and also "since the low point of the pandemic" its not surprising US billionaires wealth increased...since the low point of the pandemic my wealth has increased as well (and I am certainly not "rich").

This is why sometimes its hard to take some posts/articles seriously. You're just looking for reasons to hate "billionaires"....and i think there are probably many more legitimate reasons to do so other than the article you posted that uses stats to push a narrative without painting a full picture in good faith.

How the billionaires doing since Feb. 12?

Read the article.

Edit: i don't understand the point of your comment/question. Say whatever you're wanting to say.

how'd billionaires do from January 2018 thru March 2018....my guess is they got richer. I bet they've gotten richer over nearly every 2 month period you can find over the last 10-20 years.

I did
Feb 12 was the market top knucklehead.

Sorry. I edited my comment a few minutes ago to ask what your point was since I couldn't decipher what you're insinuating?

Is it just an inherently bad thing always when billionaires wealth increases?

Do we need policy enacted to ensure that their wealth doesn't increase or something to decrease their wealth?

What am I missing about what you're saying or what twocoach is upset about to cut a few paragraphs from an article that also goes on to state that most people with 401ks also saw their wealth increase during that same time period....like what's the point of the article?

I think it is, especially if the President? is claiming all along it is a tax cut for common folk.

Silly article created by cherry picking dates. They recovered 500 billion of maybe 700 billion in losses.
It's an article with no basis.

Ok so we agree.

Sorry for not understanding what your point was originally.

As if you really needed more proof he's nuts.

* 30 seconds after I posted this I see he's decided to blow himself while addressing the country (and the world) at 10:00am Eastern time this morning.
Approximately 40 million Americans are out of work and he's congratulating himself. Seriously. WTF?!?!?!

Gutter, that’s obviously sarcasm. Because those that ‘get’ him will get it. But, for those that don’t, he had to put kidding in parentheses.

It’s straight from the divide and distract playbook, and it will take a good chunk of time from people with views on both ends of the spectrum.

Again, gross.

Thats giving a lot of credit to donald.

Tony Montana truly started from nothing. Grew a successful international business by being organized, in control, and understanding the model of business within which he operated.
