“ greatest Hoax in American history."

Wasn't that greatest hoax, in fact, Trump's competence and temperament to serve as president?
Or was it his claim that all he received from his father was a $1 million loan?

lol

“ President Trump railed against George W. Bush after the former Republican president called on Americans to push partisanship aside amid the coronavirus outbreak, noting that Bush didn't send such a message after Trump was impeached: "He was nowhere to be found in speaking up against the greatest Hoax in American history."

A NY TIMES article discussing GW's video and the response from Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/03/us/politics/george-w-bush-coronavirus-unity.html

Most telling in the article was this:

Mr. Bush recruited his father, former President George Bush, and Mr. Clinton to respond to a devastating tsunami in Asia and then to Hurricane Katrina. President Barack Obama asked the younger Mr. Bush and Mr. Clinton to respond to an earthquake in Haiti.

Mr. Trump, for his part, has dismissed the idea of calling his predecessors for help, either to participate or even to offer advice. “I don’t think I’m going to learn much,” he said when asked about the idea in March. “I guess you could say that there’s probably a natural inclination not to call.”

Can you imagine the pressure retailers will put on Christmas this year? I would not be surprised if they started the season July 5.

IINM Christmas is typically 35% of annual retail revenue in the US, so this year it's going to be 80%. Whichever two toys fight it out for the brat market it's going to be like the Tong wars with salesmen being garroted in the streets. The industrial espionage is going to be like nuclear secrets.

And then the resulting Nuclear Winter when business lose 50% of their revenue over the year. Your statement assumes normal spending, which clearly isn't happening in a lot of places and seems like it won't be starting up for some time.

On World Press Freedom Day with Trump rage-tweeting about the media again, recalling Shepard Smith's spot-on and succinctly description of Trump's relationship to facts and the media: "He decries fake news that isn’t and disseminates fake news that is."

That comment, which enraged Trump, was part of Smith's report of the Sharpie-gate fiasco, shortly before Smith departed Fox News.

And meanwhile, over on the actual business channel:

(Kidding. I had to whip that together. But the sentiment is exactly what has been repeated from them and their guests.)
