Inevitable Politics

The world is not ending. As much as the media would like to fan flames of uncertainty over the CoronaVirus (COVID-19), everyone will be okay. While people have bought in to the idea of a doomsday scenario thanks to the mainstream media never missing a chance to pounce on ratings, most Americans should know the truth.

The claim that President Trump is fueling the stock market fall by being unprepared over COVID-19, is genuinely a great way to ensure the stock market continues to fall. It is also a very cynical way to try and dismantle everything President Trump has accomplished the past three years.

The media thinks Americans are stupid. They pour gasoline on a fairly big issue to try and say “See, your president isn’t doing anything about this. Look at the stock market, look how unprepared he is.” This is a tactic to make Americans rethink their vote this time around. See, the media knows if the economy and stock market is in shambles, most Americans will reject President Trump over this ongoing issue.

It is not only frightening to see the media go this far to try and smear President Trump, but it is also predictable. They want to destroy President Trump at all costs. They don’t care about the people, or causing so much panic the stock market tanks and people are rushing to stores grabbing toilet paper and hand sanitizer in bulk. They want, no they need, him to fail.

The Truth of Tackling COVID-19

On January 31, 2020, “Trump Administration Restricts Entry Into U.S. From China,” according to New York Times. Claims of racism started flying when rumors of this being a possibility came up. Every media narrative went to the same old shtick that President Trump is racist and that this does not address the issue.

President Trump later announces 2.5 billion dollars to prepare for COVID-19, and it got approved. The media and the left then go wild, stating it is not enough money, so what does President Trump do? He asks for more money and is given it, but that is still not enough for them.

Nancy Pelosi and the like then attack President Trump for not giving confidence to investors and the people, and made claims that is why the stock market is plummeting. The truth is the stock market is plummeting because people like Nancy Pelosi and the media are not giving their confidence to the president. If people are constantly told President Trump is not doing enough, but he is, is that the president’s fault?

President Trump has held press conferences, meeting with CEO’s of the insurance companies to waive copays relating to COVID-19, appointed Vice President Mike Pence to oversee and tackle the issues our country is having with COVID-19, addressed the nation on the issue at hand, announced possible payroll tax cuts, paid sick leave, loans for small businesses, and tax relief for some industries, and it still is not enough.

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden held press conferences announcing their plans for COVID-19 like they carry any weight on the problem at hand. They are not the president, and they do not have a say, but hey anything to politicize and stoke fear to better their chances at winning right?

How Bad is COVID-19?

Most in the media and on the left would like to make the American people believe this virus is way worse than it actually is. Here are the facts:

Several infectious diseases have a far higher fatality rate than COVID-19.

During Obama’s presidency, we dealt with the swine flu. This is the closest example to use of what is going on today, except there is a president in office the media hates. President Obama waited until over 1,000 Americans died to ensure protective measures against the outbreak, and the media was silent.

The worry of COVID-19 is mostly over how fast the virus can spread and that there is not yet a vaccine for the virus. It is also more lethal to those who are older and also those with health issues, such as lung disease, heart disease, and diabetes, according to the Centers of Disease Control.

More than 4,600 people have died from COVID-19, with 126,000 infected worldwide. Over 68,000 people who have been infected have recovered from the virus, according the the World Heath Organization.

The real concern many Americans have is the economic impact this may have. If Americans are told to stay home, small businesses, big businesses, restaurants, movie theaters, etc. will all suffer from lack of business. This could also be a reason the stock market is plummeting, but again, it is not President Trump’s fault. This is the growing fear of one’s own economic sustainability.

Speaking Up

President Trump understands the concerns and is doing what he can to ease those concerns through the payroll taxes and other options listed above, but the media wants to criticize and attack any attempts to help Americans confidence. This in return causes more panic and confusion over the media’s inability to report anything without bias.

It’s far time someone spoke up about this issue. NOTHING President Trump does is ever good enough. Take a breath, and know if you are healthy, and even at an older age, you should be okay. President Trump is doing everything he can to ensure everyone is comfortable in this time of uncertainty despite what the media says. Do not be fooled or let fear mongering by the media control your mindset. Everything will be okay.

Note: This piece is not written to downplay the seriousness of COVID-19, but to shed a light on the unprofessional words of both journalists and politicians politicizing something very serious going on. We should all be coming together, not tearing each other down.
