  Oh come on guys, I know that was a flippant comment but you see my point right? Due to the short term election cycle every politician has an incredibly short time horizon; in this case trump is trying to make things go back to normal by November and it’s just an impossible task. So the only thing he can do is massive stimulus and prayer. I guess this being HN people are more used to long winded soliloquies than single sentence terse remarks, served me right I suppose.
