at WH meeting w/bankers, Trump on fiscal stimulus to combat coronavirus impact: “if we get rid of the problem quickly, everything solves itself, we don’t need stimulus.”

I would prefer the sentence being rephrased to: “if we get rid of the problem [ie:Trump] quickly, everything solves itself, we don’t need stimulus.” Maybe his possible exposure to covid 19 from last week might be in the works. [he attended CPAC convention and mingled with Mulvaney (possible covid 19 exposed attendee) and also shook hands with GA house GOP rep D. Collins (who has to self quarantine himself) last week at CDC speaking tour. That's two GOP members that shook hands or touched the jackass who happen to have possibly been exposed to covid 19 virus.

THE PRESIDENT: I’ve been briefed on every contingency you can possibly imagine. Many contingencies. A lot of —

Q But that number.

THE PRESIDENT: — a lot of positive. Different numbers. All different numbers. Very large numbers. And some small numbers too, by the way.

Look, right now, I guess we’re at 26 deaths, and if you look at the flu — the flu, for this year — we’re at 8 mil- — we’re looking at 8,000 deaths. And, you know, hundreds of thousands of cases, but we have 8,000 deaths. So you have 8,000 versus 26 deaths, at this time.

With all of that being said, we’re taking this unbelievably seriously, and I think we’re doing a really good job. And, again, the task force, headed up by the Vice President, has been fantastic.

...not possible with this staff. Intentional mistakes and sabotage is their game while general US population will suffer from whatever crooked stunts the crooks will try to pull.

Politico reports that Trump's coronavirus task force has discussed an emergency declaration, but will not give Trump its final verdict on one until Jared Kushner "finishes his research and comes to a conclusion himself.

There’s a Corona task force at the White House, but “the task force will not give Trump its final verdict until Jared Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, finishes his research and comes to a conclusion himself”
