Trump Unemployment

And now the other side of the Trump Recession brought to you by the Solution to the Trump Epidemic. Unemployment claims soared past 3,280,000 this week, a new record: almost five times the highest week during the Great Recession, 4.7 times (which is almost five, too) more than the previous high in October 1982. Meanwhile, Wall Street, having gotten $2 trillion from Trump continues on its climb onward and upward! The Dow is up 4% to 22, 014. Which is the only number Trump cares about and has ever cared about. Only 1,049 Americans have so far died of Trump Virus and the mortality rate is only 1.54%, numbers that any idiot can see pale against the stock market figures.
