Trump reportedly furious about stock market plunging on coronavirus fears

President Donald Trump is reportedly furious that stocks have been plunging, believing that health officials' warnings have spooked investors, The Washington Post reported Tuesday night, citing two people familiar with the president's thinking.

The president has reportedly cautioned aides against forecasting the impact of the virus over fears that stocks could fall further, The Washington Post said.

Stocks plunged Tuesday, with losses accelerating after health officials warned that the coronavirus is "likely" to continue to spread throughout the United States, warning that the American public should "prepare for the expectation that this is going to be bad."

"Ultimately we expect we will see community spread in the United States," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters on a conference call.

He knows how fix it. What is holding him back? Is it another Chinese hoax?

He has strategies that work and he is a major, high-level, top notch expert. So, he could just build a wall around the virus, impose massive tariffs on it and then force it into some sort of negotiation until we win! Well, the stock market does and I guess that means us or something.

It's a simple matter, really.

On CNBC they replayed Larry Kudlow's update from yesterday and the markets went south.

to beef up our response. Instead it’s all rosy happy-talk, everything is under control, it will go away in the Spring, it’s fully contained.

The man does not know what he’s doing, and is going to get people killed.
