Coronavirus Part of Plot Against Trump??

A reader asks: Obviously the main part of this is to crash the economy and blame it on Trump so he doesn’t get re-elected. But from everything I can see he’s getting more and more popular and the media less and less. What do you think?

I have a few thoughts, actually.

The charts that show the crash of our Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P look virtually the same as every other stock index in the world: the German DAX, the Japanese Nikkei, the French CAC 40, the UK’s FTSE, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, etc.

The coronavirus is in 210 countries; it has affected the lands in which more than 99% of Earth’s inhabitants reside.

You seem to be saying that the people or the governments of Turkmenistan or Paraguay, or perhaps the equities traders in Sao Paolo, are part of a plot to get Trump out of office.  I find that extremely hard to believe, but if you have some evidence to that effect, please let me know.

The other main issue is that Trump isn’t gaining in popularity.
