He said it might get worse for a while, but hopes not. Banned flights from Europe except the UK making exceptions in some cases.
He said he was criticized for banning flights and trade with China and called racist, but he feels he was right, and right to ban flights from Europe. He talked about the amount of cases here being very few statistically for our large population.
He sounded flat. He didn’t sound like he fully believed everything he was saying. Probably, he was very tired, and he isn’t good with a teleprompter.
Overall, I didn’t think the speech was that bad actually. I’m angry with him for not doing more testing sooner, but I think he is doing things to address the problem.
The stock market was already up and down before this speech.
He did talk about China being through the worst of it from all indications and trade should be able to start up with them again, which will be a positive, but not soon enough right now.
I think it’s just the uncertainty. He did confirm that things are uncertain right now for how long we will deal with it, but talked in terms of one or two months. He said he wouldn’t sign the house bill to help people financially, because the Democrats added things not related to the problem at hand. He did pat his own head at how wonderful he is as usual. He talked about how this should not be partisan but definitely said some partisan things.
He said the financial markets will come back.
