Trump agrees with Winslow:

“Because, you know, this virus is going to disappear. It’s a question of when. Will it come back? In a small way … will it come back in a, uh, uh, fairly large way? But we know how to deal with it now much better, you know, nobody knew anything about it. Initially. Now we know we can put out fires, we can put out, they call ‘em embers, if it’s small or it’s a FIRE! Or a hot spot. We can put it out. But … we can’t have our whole country out. Can’t do it. The country won’t take it. Won’t stand it. It’s not sustainable. And I think you’re gonna have a tremendous, uh, transition, which is a 3rd quarter … thing, I think you’re gonna have a good 4th quarter, I think next year is going to be an incredible year, economically, and with that being said, if somebody lost somebody, a parent or a wife or a husband or, uh, you know, any brothers, sisters, if you lost someone, you can never make up for that by saying, well, you’re gonna have a great year next year, economically. And so, you can never do that, but I will say from an economic standpoint I think next year is going to be a big year, there’s tremendous demand. You see, with the stock market, when stock markets are 24,000 and we went through the … worst attack we’ve ever had on our country. This is really the worst attack we’ve ever had. This is worse than Pearl Harbor. This is worse than the World Trade Center. There’s never been an attack like this. … And it should’ve never happened. It could have been stopped at the source. Could have been stopped in China. It should have been stopped right at the source. And it wasn’t.”— Donald Trump, 5 May, 2020, the Oval Office.

Sorry about your parents, kid, but they were heroes who died on the battlefield. And our fourth quarter will be incredible. Also tremendous. So it was all worth it.
