U.K. stocks and U.S. futures fall as Trump threatens China with tariffs and earnings spook investors
www.marketwatch.com
All three major U.S. indexes were set to open lower after Amazon US:AMZN and Apple US:AAPL both warned of coronavirus uncertainty ahead and reports suggested President Donald Trump was considering tariffs to retaliate against China over its handling of the pandemic. Dow futures US:YM00 were 1.9% down. S&P 500 futures US:ES00 slipped 2.2% and Nasdaq US:NQ00 futures declined 2.7%.

As I've said numerous times before, China is absolutely to blame for allowing the conditions under which the virus began and for withholding info from the world about the outbreak. Xi is a brutal, repressive dictator, undeserving of the praise President Stubby Fingers has bestowed on him. The Divider-in-Chief alternately criticizes and complements Xi when it suits his purposes providing for an inconsistent and contradictory message about the US stance on China. For political expediency's sake it's time for the Orange Messiah to play bad cop again by idiotically returning to the role of Tariff Man.
However, regardless of China's culpability for the pandemic it is unequivocally true the federal government botched our response. The more apparent that has become the greater the urgency for Team Drumpf to create a diversion, directing attention away from Individual 1's personal failings. It's his primary duty to protect the country and its people. In an effort to save the economy from the effects of the virus he did not end up protecting the economy or the people.
It's times like these when the lack of people surrounding Don willing and able to challenge him for being a moron make him the most dangerous to the state of the nation.
Everything I've written, whether you're a Trump cultist or a critic, is easily recognized as true. Even though they won't admit it, Trumpleheads know it.
