From Politico this afternoon:
The Obama Era Erased:
"This morning's news that 14.7% of the American workforce is now unemployed erases the last drops of Obama's economic legacy that seeped into the Trump presidency-
2-"a steady decrease in the jobless rate from 10% in October 2009 to 3.5% in February of this year. International Alliances have been broken down. Treaties and laws torn up. Social programs frayed. Norms erased. The Russia investigation has been partially rolled back.
3-"And now the once electric economy-which bolstered Obama and gave Trump political currency-has been short-circuited, and left for dark. Ironically, one Obama legacy item still clinging to life is the one that Republicans despise most: Obamacare.
4-"But even that has been undermined, and court decisions could upend it further. This is one of the Political realities that Trump can take little credit for: The country is stuck at home, which has put at least 20.5M people out of work."
Bush43 didn't ask for 911, Obama didn't ask for the financial crisis-but they led honestly.
While Trump didn't ask for the virus, his failure to act, his continued failure to help us recover, his intrinsic unreliability make this crisis drastically worse. #TrumpDepression
