An Eerily Prescient Surprise for 2020
* In January, before Covid-19 was a speck in our country's eyes, I warned about President Trump's health
In early January I delivered my annual 15 Surprises for 2020 realmoney.thestreet.com/dougs-daily-di….
My #1 Surprise (particularly this below) has proved eerily prescient:
"Under the weight of the pressure of running for reelection, a hectic travelling schedule and poor eating habits, President Trump's health catches up to him. A significant health problem is disclosed in the

Minding Mr. Market
* I remain bullish over the near term...
* And bearish over the intermediate term
* Wednesday's market was extraordinarily strong - likely characterized by a continued "offsides" position by a number of market participants
* I expect a smaller and targeted fiscal stimulus package in the next few days - but nothing close to the Democratic party's $2.2 trillion proposal
* While this normally would frighten the markets, with the growing likelihood of a "Blue Wave," the U.S. stock market will likely
Bret Stephens:
"We wish him well because we are better than he is. We are better than the man who mocked Hunter Biden for his substance-abuse issues. We are better than the man who called NeverTrumpers “human scum.” We are better than the man who wants to put his political
opponents in jail. We are better than the man who publicly humiliates his own advisers. We are better than the man who demeaned the gold-star parents of a fallen soldier. We are better than the man who pantomimed the physical disabilities of a reporter. We are better than the
man who stiffs his suppliers and swindles his “students.” We are better than the man who uses his celebrity to grope. We are better than the man who took a bone-spur draft deferment so that he could live to denigrate the courage of prisoners of war. We are better than the man
There is so much protocol and movement of others involved with this move out of his hospital room to an automobile waving to his base. He is not thinking about security or health - as always, he thinks about himself and his campaign. If any patient in a hospital in the US with
Covid decided to venture out of that hospital...they would be restrained by psychiatrists. If the @realdonaldtrump supporters out there believe I and others have TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) I respond .. that you all have TAC (Trump Acceptance Syndrome). And that is far
more dangerous than TDS as TAC puts the health of Americans at risk and has contributed to 210k US deaths already. Trump sees everything thru his political lens - and that stands before our well being and health. There are neurological ramification of Covid and perhaps we are
Written nearly twelve months ago my 15 Surprises for 2020 on @realmoney focused on President Trump.
It was my #1 Surprise and included an easy Biden win over other Dem nominees, a surprisingly large electoral college win over @realdonaldtrump who experienced a significant
health problem that sidelined him from participating in campaigning for a period of time.
The ultimate outcome: "In December, 2020, President Trump announces his plans to launch Trump TV. Sean Hannity leaves Fox News - assuming a duel role as CEO of Trump TV as well as the
@realDonaldTrump
Lifelong Republican Steve Schmidt, Founder of The Lincoln Project, nails it:
I wish Trump and Melania an expeditious recovery and hope very much that they will be in good health as they face electoral humiliation, repudiation and the harsh judgement of the
American people on Election Day. Trump’s lying has become one of the most lethal events in our nation’s history. If US mortality rates were what they are in Germany, more than 150,000 Americans would still be alive. Trump’s cruel disregard for the American people has ravaged our
economy, our kid’s educations and fundamental elements of the American way of life.
There is no person in America that has done more to spread Covid than @realDonaldTrump and no one has tried harder to catch it. Trump couldn’t have been more personally reckless than if he went to
@realdonaldtrump A cavallier Administration, given a series of crucial choices — whether to heed his nationalist and protectionist impulses or his “don’t spook the stock market” biases, whether to listen to his germaphobia or his apparent fear of looking unmanly in a mask —
consistently chose wrongly when they could have chosen wisely. Trump went by his own choices from being a president who had an unique historical opportunity to vindicate his professed worldview to a president who is now infected with the very virus that is dooming
his re-election bid. The president does not, to put it mildly, resemble the tragic heroes familiar from Aeschylus or Shakespeare. But he has a little more in common with some of the flawed, arrogant, appetitive figures from the Hebrew Bible — figures who are given opportunities
