A downpour of money from the federal government might help turn around the coronavirus and the economy before November. Photo: Getty Images It’s no secret that as we get closer to Election Day, prospects for President Trump and his party are not looking very good.

Read Mary Trump’s book about him. Explains so much.
NY Magazine is probably the dumbest 'serious' publication in America.
It's already been saved. The Democrats are going to commit fraud, and he's not going to concede due to. One of the easiest wins in history.
He doesn’t need to. This election is in the bag. He’s gonna win New Mexico too
Objectively, he can't spend his way out of this one.
Because he's a failed business man far too arrogant to learn his lesson
Tell that to the dysfunctional mayors and governors who are supposed to GOVERN with our Hard Earned Taxpayer money! They are USELESS and stop this mediascum media distortion of reality!
