It’s Monday aka “Ugh.”

For Ugh President Impeached has tweeted two times, so far.

Placing these two tweets in context, or explaining what President Impeached meant to say is impossible, as they are just words.

God, does, and will continue to bless America, and humans in general.

Who is they, that are so well unified?

Over the weekend President Impeached while dealing with the pandemic caused by the coronavirus tweeted 32 times. I will not be covering all 32 tweets.

Saturday.

Mr. Unity is a beautiful thing to see, sent 3 tweets in all-caps.

On Friday Mr. I don’t take responsibility sent a signed copy of the Stock Market chart to Fox News personality Lou Dobbs.

On Sunday, the Federal Reserve Bank announced…

And this…

In a coronavirus update, President Impeached on Sunday, congratulated the Federal Reserve on their bold move.

On Monday the stock market responded, by triggering a 15 minute halt to trading in under a minute of the opening bell.

Currently, the DOW is hovering around 1,800 points down, while the NASDAQ hovers around 500 points down, with the S&P down around 200 points. The next halt would come if the *S&P 500 reaches 13 percent down.

*From Politico; If the S&P 500 index drops 7 percent or 13 percent before 3:25 p.m., trading will stop for 15 minutes. After 3:25 p.m., declines in those levels don’t halt market-wide trading. But a 20 percent market decline at any time triggers a halt in trading for the rest of the day market-wide.*

In the wake of the pandemic the CDC has recommended that large gatherings be cancelled, that people practice “social distancing.” On Sunday a day after President Impeached, reminded us, of the CDC rec’, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California, said if you are healthy now is the time to go visit your local pub…

According to the California Health Department, as of 6 p.m. on Saturday, there were 335 positive cases of the coronavirus in California, with 6 deaths. This does not include the passengers of the Grand Princess docked in Oakland.

Nunes is a California Congressman.

U.S., loves Italy.

John Hopkins COVID-19 aka the coronavirus map shows confirmed cases in Italy as of Monday morning are 24,747. A total of 1,809 people have died of the disease, with 2,335 in total recovery.

He moved on from all-caps to announce that Sunday would be a national day of prayer.

Sunday. (National Day of Prayer.)

He thanks his campaign press secretary.

Bare with me on this because tracking the number of tested individuals is not an easy task, but according to the CDC, “Number of specimens tested for *SARS CoV-2 by CDC labs (N=4,069) and U.S. public health laboratories* (N=18,644)†”

* Reporting public health labs are 48 state public health labs (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV and WY), New York City, USAF, and 9 California counties.
† Non-respiratory specimens were excluded. For state public health labs, the date represents the date of sample collection, if available, or the date tested. For CDC labs, the date represents the date specimen was received at CDC. Results reported as of 4:00 pm ET on March 14 were included. All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received.
‡ Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when specimens are accessioned, testing is performed, and results are reported.

CDC.gov.

*According to the CDC; The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”).

President Impeached moves on to thank reporter Sara Carter, for pointing out how on Friday, he caused a great stock market rally.

He moves on to blast fake news…

CNN; Trump said he’s waiving federal student loan interest due to coronavirus. Here’s how it will work.

Politico; Trump to waive interest on federal student loans ‘until further notice’.

The Washington Post; Trump suspends interest on all federal student loans to ease financial impact of coronavirus.

The New York Times; Mr. Trump also said he would waive interest on all student loans held by all government agencies, and that the energy secretary would be buying “large quantities of oil” to fill up the country’s strategic reserve — an effort to bolster flagging oil prices.

Still looking for praise President Impeached tweets…

President Impeached moves on to But Her Emails…

In his 5th tweet from Sunday he finally gets around to National Prayer Day.

Also on Sunday he floated the idea that pleaded guilty to lying former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn might be pardoned.

He then explains that it’s fake news to report exactly what tweets say…

Googles full statement from Saturday.

But wait…

On Friday after President Impeached spoke in the Rose Garden announcing a website that wasn’t, Google said:

Which is what the media reported, on Friday…

One last one from Sunday…

Hear that governors that’s the sound of the bus warming up…

Update.

President Impeached has tweeted one more time.

At 1:02 p.m. eastern the New York Times reported…

According to the New York Times, a recording of the call has been shared with them. President Impeached is quoted as saying;

“Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves. We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.”

He assured the governors, “We’re going to get it remedied and hopefully very quickly.”

He explained that the $500 billion of Treasury bonds purchased by the Federal Reserve and the $200 billion of mortgage-backed securities will, “probably go up substantially from that level.”

He but Obama’d without naming Obama’s name, “we broke down a system that was broken, very badly broken,” he added his intent to create one that he thinks would be, “the talk of the world.” [I’m sure he’ll explain that new system he intends to create just as soon as he reveals his replacement health care plan for O’care.]

For the article’s conclusion;

But aside from his rose-colored predictions — which are at odds with his medical advisers, who say the worst is yet to come — Mr. Trump often evinced little awareness of the severity of the contagion.
Explaining why he did not include the United Kingdom in his initial travel ban from Europe last week, Mr. Trump said “all of the sudden we were getting numbers that weren’t good so we had to put U.K. in.”

The New York Times. 03/16/2020.

He responded to President Impeached call that he does more…

There was a scheduled 10:30 a.m. White House presser, it’s been postponed until 3:30 p.m. eastern time. Gee, I can’t even imagine why…

At 9:53 a.m. CA time, the DOW was 2,000 points down.

This post maybe update within reason. 

This is an Open Thread.
