Trump only knows how to con people, and when you have a lot of money, you really don't want to trust your money to a conman. You want straight talk, honest talk. To save his life, Trump can't do straight talk, honest talk. Hence the markets keep falling because Trump's bad faith acting out doesn't calm investors; it makes them nervous. They feel they are standing on shifting sand. Nothing is sure and solid with Trump. Nothing rings true. The future, who knows what the future will bring when a flimflam man is flimflamming?

Here are a few Trump things that keep the markets falling:

Despite lots of words, continues to suppress testing to hide bad results

Trying to grift a vaccine from a German lab

The Senate Majority Leader causally taking the weekend off during this crisis

Telling governors to get their own damn ventilators

3,877 cruise ship passengers disembarking at the Port of Miami without testing

Six-hour airport passenger lines at US airports that look like hell on earth; all that is missing is the president tossing paper towel rolls at them

More and more desperate happy talk pressers with a lot of promises, CEO's, and doctors, with nothing effectual ever coming of them.

Trump is his own worst enemy. He wants to calm the markets, but he just can't make himself tell the truth. Markets won't calm down until there is straight, principled, honest talk about the crisis. You'll never get it with Trump. The markets continue to fall, not because of COVID-19, but because Trump can't tell the truth to save his life.

So sad America.
