In that context, much of what reporters say is too stupid to be worth rebutting. For example, when the Dow dropped 1,000 points after Trump gave a coronavirus speech a few days ago, the echo chamber told us that Wall Street has no faith in the incompetent Trump. Then, when Trump began to deliver this afternoon\u2019s speech that declared a national emergency and announced various anti-virus measures, there was a brief drop in the Dow, about which many liberals tweeted, blaming Trump. But then the Dow soared 2,000 points, and lots of those tweets were deleted.<\/p>\n<p>That is the world we live in: the press vs. the Republican Party. But let\u2019s step back from hourly swings in the stock market and take a broader look at coronavirus and how it is likely to impact our politics going forward. I suggest several propositions:<\/p>\n<p>1) The Democrats\u2019 effort to blame coronavirus on Trump is doomed to fail. Most people simply aren\u2019t that dumb. The virus came from China. Its origin may have been a market where freshly-slaughtered bats and such animals were sold, or possibly a nearby government laboratory. No one who isn\u2019t already a fanatical Trump hater thinks that the global spread of the virus is somehow his fault.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Much more to read here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerlineblog.com\/archives\/2020\/03\/the-politics-of-coronavirus.php\">Powerline Blog<\/a><br \/>\nThanks, Poe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21st century Black Death?
