Market Blows Speculative Top, As Reported COVID Spike Appears...Russia Hoax 5?

It seems obvious to CDMedia that the Russia Hoax, the impeachment scam, the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, and the race riots, have all been back-to-back attempts to bring down Trump and the American economy in order to prevent the President's re-election. We don't believe in coincidences.

So today, as the Black Lives Matter looting winds down, we have the next boogeyman released onto investor's psyche -- the Second Wave!

Of course, the market sold off in conjunction with the reports; Treasury Secretary Mnuchin even felt the need to say we are not shutting down the American economy again.

“We can’t shut down the economy again. I think we’ve learned that if you shut down the economy, you’re going to create more damage,” Mnuchin said in an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer on “Squawk on the Street.” 

“And not just economic damage, but there are other areas and we’ve talked about this: medical problems and everything else that get put on hold,”  he added. “I think it was very prudent what the president did, but I think we’ve learned a lot," reported CNBC.

In actuality, this pause is healthy, as the market had gone straight up for a month. The American economy is rebounding. That is obvious to anyone living outside a blue state lockdown. This will continue into the election, bar the emergence of Russia Hoax 6, 7, 8, or 9. Dirty bomb, EMP blast anyone?
