Black swans are unforeseen happenings that come out of nowhere and change the course of events in the world. I think one or more black swans could change the course of the 2020 national election. As things stand now, President Trump would be reelected and the Republicans would gain control of both houses of Congress, but one or more black swans could poop on Republican expectations.
Republicans should not become overconfident because this nation continues on a leftward march. Before the 2018 midterm elections the conservative talking heads were saying the Republicans would retain the House. The Republicans lost and elections have consequences. The Trump impeachment could not have happened if the Republicans retained control of the House. The three ring circus on TV has been the result of that. The House was lost in 2018 because many Trump supporters did not think it was important enough for them to show up to vote for a House candidate supporting the President. How wrong they were!
Conservatives and Christians are still losing ground every day in this nation even with Trump in office. As long as leftists control the narrative in schools and media the leftward trend continues unabated. The Democratic Party is the majority party in America and it is growing. The Party is now totally under the control of socialists. If the Democrats come up with a candidate they can unite upon, (and they will) it will take a very large Republican turnout to get Trump reelected. Black swan flyovers pooping on the economy could easily tilt the election toward the Democrats. If Republicans lose, there will be a radial leftist turkey vulture perched in the White House next year.
One black swan that could reverse Trump’s support is already in view. The coronavirus causing COVID-19 is killing thousands. It will have a huge impact on the world economy. It very well could soon impact everyone dependent on Chinese manufacturing. Even worse, this outbreak is becoming a deadly pandemic that will spread all over the world. It will wreck the economy of the already debt ridden world. America will not escape. The stock market just took note of this danger and it has been crashing all week. 401 K’s and other retirement funds lost over 10 percent of their value in just a few days. This stock market crash looks to be historic. Oil prices also are crashing because far less travel and manufacturing is expected to take place.
China was already in an economic downturn before this virus hit. Now it appears the virus and the quarantines might push China over the brink into a full blow depression. If the Chinese do not go back to work shortly, it will have dire economic consequences for all dependent on Chinese products for what they produce. On the other hand, if the Chinese go back to work too soon (as some are now doing), they will spread the virus everywhere and the virus consequences will hit the world all the more sooner.
We in America should not be so naive as to think the longest expansion we have had in history would continue while the rest of the world goes into a recession or worse. Japan is already in a very sharp recession and Germany is in a recession. So along with China we already have the second, third, and fourth largest economies in the world in trouble before any economic impact from the virus hits.
In addition, the locust black swan swarms now hitting Africa and Asia are likely to grow much worse before the summer dry season halts this insect plague. This black swan is likely to result in famine for people in third world nations. The black swan of historical levels of drought in Australia is not going to help the food situation either.
These catastrophic events are likely to make the economy of the world much worse within months. There could be a global recession by this spring and even a global depression before the American fall national election. A recession in America would take away Trump’s number one bragging point and that could lead to a Republican defeat.
Trump will be blamed 24/7 by leftist media for any hint of coronavirus mismanagement. Along with constant fabrications by news media, they will likely also find justifiable criticisms to harp on. For example, Trump’s State Department recently put 14 people infected with the viruses on a jet to America with over 300 hundred disease free passengers. The State Department did this in spite of receiving warnings from the CDC. What could possibly go wrong when State Department bureaucrats trump health experts? Missteps are bound to happen, but you can bet on Trump getting all the blame from the leftist press for anything real, perceived or fabricated. Vice President Pence political future is now also at risk because he was put in charge of the government response to the health crisis. If things get bad here, now there is no one to blame but the Republican ticket running for reelection.
Another kind of black swan could poop out a brokered Democratic convention or birth an outright Communist. If the world is in turmoil, the economy sinking, and Trump’s approval rating slipping, even electing a Communist in this country becomes possible. Many minds in this country are already that far gone. In a recent survey seventy-five percent of Democrats said they would vote for a socialist for President.
It may not have started this way, but I think the Democratic Party power brokers now intend to make their presidential candidate selection at a brokered convention. The power brokers quickly realized that Biden had a few wingnuts missing and would not survive the process. They also knew Warren and Sanders would become equally unelectable front-runners. Neither was expected to ever get fifty percent of the delegates and the nomination. The rest surviving are cardboard cutouts designed to lock up several delegates here and there for the power brokers to use after the first ballot.
Even so, Sanders unexpectedly looked like he could lock this up before the convention so they sent in Bloomberg with all his money to make sure this does not happen. If that does not work, Sanders might develop sudden breathing problems. Clinton still has a lot of support among the deep state and if it gets to a second ballot her name will be put in the mix. At a time of economic and health crises, the party of the deep state could find a way to get Hillary nominated. They might only go with Sanders if the top polls show that he has more support than Trump. Many polls do have Sanders leading Trump, so who knows? They might also go with Sanders because they fear his supporters will burn the whole house down if he is denied nomination at the convention.
Other black swans that could change the course of the election might happen because of military action taken by our enemies. We almost were in a war with Iran just weeks ago. Had there been any deaths, and had our military not downplayed the 100+ head injuries that occurred because of the Iranian missile attack, Trump would have ordered the bombing of hundreds of targets in Iran. Does anyone really think that Iran will not try to do something before the election to harm Trump’s election chances? After all, the Democrats have already proven they will make deals with the Iranian devil. The Coranavirus is also hitting Iran especially hard, so the leaders might think something needs to deflect attention from their poor performance in handling the virus.
The fallout from the virus could as well kill the trade deal with China. Chairman Xi might even take military actions to deflect from a failing economy in China. Not to mention that supreme leader Kim Jong-un of N. Korea is feeling neglected and is likely to add a black swan to the pot and stir things up before our election. Who really knows what problems the virus will bring to N. Korea and what Kim might do to save face?
My point is that this is no time for Trump supporters to become complacent as if Trump has the 2020 election wrapped up. Nothing could be further from the truth. The American way of life and our constitutional republic is already hanging by a tread. The leftists always find ways to push forward with their agenda. Black swans are certain to be used by haters of our Republic to poop on Trump and on his supporters. Things could change rapidly in the 8 months before the election. Just look at what happened to the stock market in just one week.
As we should be aware already, leftist’s continue laying the foundation for a destructively insane course for America’s future. If Trump is defeated in 2020, the leftist radicals that now control the Democratic Party will take over every aspect of our nation. Then like other Marxist run nations they would not tolerate any opposition. They would want to make everyone comply to the godless insanity of reprobates like Sanders and AOC. That would destroy this nation.
Make no mistake, our nation is on the brink. We are reaping the results of decades of Marxist indoctrination and propaganda. Christians in America allowed it and only they can end it. God fearing Americans cannot be complacent and allow the Marxists to take over. We can wake up now, or we can wake up dead. On the other hand, maybe my warnings about black swans and Republican election defeats are just figments of my own pessimistic thinking and Trump will have an election blowout like most of the Republican talking heads are suggesting. We do not have long to find out. What do you think?
Satan is definitely running to and fro. People better not be complacent about voting in this next election or this country will be done for. I do think the media (the attack dogs of the Democrats and leftists) have made this virus seem a whole lot worse. It doesn’t have a high fatality rate. In a world close to 8 billion people, the number who have died, even if severely underreported, is not very high at all. But to hear the media go on about it, you’d think people were dropping dead in front of you. I expect to see Jim Acosta of CNN reporting from the lawn of the White House in a mask. If the stock market debacle continues it could start a cascade of some really ugly events like pension funds, both big and small, that were already in a precarious position to go under. And of course Trump will be blamed for all of it. I find it incredible that we have a communist who could potentially be the president or that he’s even in the running. But then look at the Democrat lineup. A whole slew of Satan’s minions. What a world we live in today! I pray for President Trump everyday. If he gets taken out, look out below.
I believe that Israel’s election next week will be tied with ours. If Benjamin Netanyahu wins, it would make sense that Trump would be reelected. This would allow for the blessings (Military support, UN support & possible Israel border expansion) to continue for Israel that this administration has provided. If the left takes over in Israel, these new leaders have proven with their statements that they think of Trump the same way as the Democrats in America do. It just does not make sense at this point of our Saviors return to have opposite leaders in power. Don, is the Pale Horse not possible in your prophetic timeline to be occurring presently? Pestilence and famine seem certain over the next several months.
Don,
I completely agree with you and appreciate this article. I am very concerned about all of the attempts that the left will use in the coming months to take away the presidency from Donald Trump. They will be willing to do great injury to their own nation in order to regain power. It is truly disgusting to see what the main stream media is doing daily.
I say this a lot, but there are so many that have been given over to a reprobate mind. (and what is a reprobate mind.. one that doesn’t pass the test.. what test? God’s test…
As to whether or not they will be successful, I give it a 50/50. We are living in scary times.
I have been watching this Corona Virus situation closely. We just returned on Feb. 16th from a Family Life “Love Like You Mean It” cruise in the Caribbean and we live is the greater Seattle area so it is a long plane trip to Fort Lauderdale Florida. I had been slightly concerned about taking the trip as planned back then… We did fine and it was a great trip. Now, I just cancelled a planned flight to Orlando Florida for a “Lake Dora” ACBS Antique and Classic Boat Society boat show. I have watched the number of confirmed cases rise in the USA to now 60 and there is still 2 1/2 weeks to go prior to the Orlando flight for the boat show. I don’t want to be on a plane for 6 hours each way during this time. Alaska Airlines was very gracious to me when I asked to cancel saying that due to the situation, they are offering certificates for the purchased price of the tickets that can be used for another flight by Jan of 2021. They also are waiving the normal $150 cancellation fee. I was pleasantly surprised!
Hi Stephen,
Marxists are godless Marxists all over the world. Israel has their own fair share of Marxists and more. Where Marxists get in power they will bring any nation to its demise in short order.
The four horses of Revelation have to ride in the order given. I think the seals are opened post Rapture. John (representing the Church) is taken up in Revelation Chapter 4 before any seals in Revelation chapter 6 are opened. After that we see the Antichrist riding on the white horse to get into power. Then comes the red horse of war, the black house of famine and then the pale horse bringing death and hell over a quarter of the earth.
ya, it could be the kickoff to the beginning of sorrows but of course that happens in the tribulation but doesn’t the events begin to brew just prior to the tribulation?
Perhaps this is a foreshadowing event that is tipping us off that there’s not much time left before we are out of here?
With the market the bears have been trying to sell and every time they made a weekly low or two the bulls bought back in then January ended with a reversal candle which tipped every trader to cover.
If today can end with a tail on the daily chart that will indicate some buying while coming off of the Oct 3rd low. It’s no accident that price breached oct low by 1/2 a point then went back up & has stayed up thus far today.
Bulls are buying & bears taking profit. There might be a battle at these lows but I see it going up from here to make a leg up into Monday and well see if there’s conviction.
This is my 3 time frames of S&P with my notes.. I’m now bullish

Hello Don:
Thank you, as usual for your article – timely, calm but honest. Could you give me your thoughtful criteria for who I and others on this blog should/can share this article with? I believe that not every one, even some Christians (immature, maybe?) are not ready for the stark reality of our present situation. Thank you and God bless … Bev
Hi Bill
The Wall Street sell off is probably about over for now. I think the markets here will go back up some and only reach new lows if there is greater bad economic news and disruptions. This virus is going to play out over many months. It is too soon to predict the impact to our economy and the economy of the world. Even so, it very well could impact Trump’s economic bragging rights and that would influence the outcome of the 2020 election.
Hi Bev,
I think you can share this article with anyone but a liberal leftist. Those already given over to reprobate minds because they hate the God of the Bible and love living in their sins would not be receptive to what I write.
The world is ripe for the Antichrist. One of the major problems of the days we live in is that Church leaders either do not know or will not talk about the stark reality of the evil times that we exist in. God’s people historically often perished because they lacked knowledge. We all should try to do something about that.
I agree, for some reason i can NOT envision Trump in a second term. I too believe that a ‘Black Swan’ event is going to change the course of not only the 2020 U.S. Presidential Elections but also of this nation. Sure, TRump is not perfect and i do plan to vote for him again but i sense something ‘Biblical’ changing everything by the time the 2020 Elections come around. Trump, sure kept his word and constructed a large part of the U.S. Border Wall he promised, despite the $$$ oppositions effort to thwart his efforts.
Hi Don and siblings,
On the last post, I am still wondering over the statement about “natural”, as things are so surreal I am not sure what is being naturally controlled anymore.
My mind was thinking that a continued Republican power hold would force the impatient world order to resort to force / military solution to change the situation in the US. Conversely, I would think the world order would be accepting of a ticket change — but, then, how does the removal of America from world power / relevance occur? I cannot buy into the notion that America is just an extension of the Roman empire (last iron / clay world power).
It seems really close (on many levels), but I am at a loss to explain or surmise the near future. But I can say that the insanity prevailing is rather hell-ish. I think the young generation that goes into / through the tribulation are going to have a hard thud of a realization to deal with (yeah, it’s gonna take 144,000 and the two witnesses to pull off the injection of truth into the situation).
// Craig
Great article Don.
Hi Craig, I increasingly think the Rapture is the event that removes America from its current dominant position. America would be most impacted by the Rapture more than any other country.
Hi Craig,
I can see how America can lose its world power status quickly.
Economic collapse and civil war or EMP’s and nuclear war and total social collapse in America.
See, I can see Trump in a 2nd term. I have a feeling the rapture may happen during his 2nd term and in effect decapitate most of the US leadership. This would cause much more chaos than if we had a bunch of godless socialists in office. Just my 2 cents. I can see Trump negotiating a bunch of deals in the middle east that could lead to the
Final political agreements. A democrat in office prob wouldn’t get anything done imo. I still feel like Trump has more purpose in his role as president.
We will most likely go further down but not without a 2nd leg (up) in the down move first A=C or ABC. The A and C waves are similar in length B wave is much smaller.
The A wave was the first thrust down (this past week) price needs to make a B wave a retracement of 38% to 62% of wave A THEN figure on a 100%+ move down making wave C that’s where the next level of support is most likely.
IF the retracement is less than 38% the down move is still on expect a continuation down IF retracement is stronger than 50%-78% expect sideways movement until one of the parties takes over bull or bears. It depends how price structure plays out. And the news I guess bc the news is used by the pro’s to manipulate participation by the amateurs which is always wrong. Amateurs.
Once the C wave completes there’s a reversal in the market, usually. Elliot Wave Theory.
If not a ABC we could have a cup & handle instead which would test the highs forming the cup then make the handle (Down slightly) then breakout to all time new highs and Trump would be justly re elected. And the country saved.
Don do u think the tribulation events can be rearing about just before going into the tribulation?
Like before a storm event we all witness darkened clouds and that smell in the air just before it rains.
Hi Bill,
ABC and waves…it’s all advanced math to me.
We probably are in events that will soon lead to the riding of the four horsemen of Revelation. Those events will bring about the two witnesses for 3.5 years. After that, the Antichrist and the great tribulation.
So I don’t repeat what someone else has already said; my opinion is the same as Adriana’s. I read earlier today there has been one coronavirus death in Washington state. Unless I’m proven wrong I think this black swan is media over-hype.
Hi Caitlin,
It just started. Do the math, even with good medical care it kills 2 to 3 percent of those it infects and 70 percent of the world is likely to be infected if no vacinne is developed. .02 or .03 x about 5.4 billion infections means 100 to 150 million dead. It puts 15 percent of those it infects in the hospital. Do the math on that, almost a billion hospitalizations. The medical systems of the world can’t handle that many people and costs of health care will skyrocket everywhere.
This coronavirus has far more potential to sicken and kill people than any virus in modern times. It may even be worse than the Spanish flu if we do not come up with a workable vaccine and virus suppressors. Even if we do, people in poor crowded nations are not likely to be able to afford them or get them until it is too late. I think this virus has the potential to kill hundreds of millions across the world. The markets know the risks to society and that is why they are crashing.
Hi Don,
Amen to that we are out of here! The 4th horse is snorting his nostrils just waiting to be let loose. The Norovirus is the aroma of that horse I think.
Trump’s re election bid would do better w/ Biden than Sanders because of the traders reaction to a Sanders presidency vs Biden’s.
Sanders is one of the other black swans for the market that would put us in a bear market for 5 years before a recovery. Biden not so much.
But who cares we are out of here by then.
Bill the bulls are buying
Hi Debora,
I think were going to close on the high of the day? Strength.
This rally could last several weeks and take back more than half of the selloff. But, it will probably go sideways to down for many months yet.
There’s 50% chance of a 20% correction & a 30% chance for a 30% correction.
There’s bots that do automatic trading a lot of last weeks slide was overdone because of these bots.
When we do or if we continue the slide the 2014-15 lows is a reasonable target. Or that cup & handle could happen? And make all time new highs.
Lets hope for that.
There is also a good chance that the markets could totally collapse. The world economic system is all built on a house of cards called debt.
Don, got a question about creation.
Satan fell because of his pride but God didn’t create man yet until after Satan was thrown to the earth and we don’t know how much time past that Satan & his fellow angels (1/3) roamed this void earth until God started His creation?
Time wasn’t created yet either until the creation started? Satan is jealous of man and doesn’t want to serve and protect Gods creation, man. But, that wasn’t the cause of his pride man came after he was tossed to a void & empty earth.
As I was writing out the question it started to become more clear to me I’m still learning.
Thanks Don, Man am I glad I have a good source for the truth.
Hi Bill,
Satan was not thrown to earth yet. The book of Job indicates that Satan still appears before God. The New Testament tells us that Satan is accusing us before the throne. There is nothing in scripture that says that any angels roamed this earth before God started His creation. There would not even have been an earth or angels before God started His creation.
It seems to me that you’re getting gap theory conjecture mixed up with the Bible actually says.
I knew he accuses us before God on the throne and goes back & forth.
The creation is then heaven, earth, angels and man. Satan is the prince of the air and this earth is his kingdom (for now) he’s limited to what he can do because of the restrainer.
Did God create man before Satan’s pride that caused him to fall?
Sanctifying my understanding.
Hi Bill,
The creation is everything that Jesus created in our universe. Everything visible and invisible.
Nobody knows when Satan’s pride took over in relation to the fall. I suspect humans were created to replace rebellious angels. In any case, God knew the fall of humans would happen and prepared the Kinsman redeemer Savior before the foundations of the world.
Let’s try to stay on the post topic. If you have questions on unrelated things try to find a more appropriate post to comment on or email me. You can also do a keyword search from the bottom of my website home page that will come up with all the articles I wrote about that could address your topic of interest.
Okay Don, Thanks that does clear more things up for me.
Satan was not cast from heaven ?? Revelation 12.7-9 ?? I don’t understand what you are talking about Don Koenig
Opinions are beginning to appear and probably soon the pressure will come
Currently, words from the Psalm are happening. the current system collapses.This may be the last decade
Psalms 2:9
“Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
Hi Rob,
Most futurists believe the war in heaven when Satan will be cast out to the earth in Revelation 12 occurs at the mid point of the last seven years. Then Satan knowing his time is short takes over a body who becomes the Beast/Antichrist. He is given 42 months to deceive all thoses that hate the truth and wish to believe a lie.
Prior to that in Revelation 12 Satan tries to stop the Messiah and that births the Church. Then in sequence at some point there is war in heaven (probably because Satan opposes the rapture of the saints to heaven). When that happens Satan and his angels war against God’s angels.The forces of Satan lose and they are cast unto the earth. They knowing their time to defeat Jesus is short will bring about the great tribulation on earth.
One hint that this timing is correct is that Jesus in Matthew tells the women (Israel) to flee to the mountains when the Temple is defiled. That also is suggested here in Revelation 12. The time given to flee is 1260 days. That is the 42 months where the world will be under the Beast.
Try to use prophetic scripture in its proper context and not just cherry pick something said in the Bible to make it fit what you think is happening on earth.
What is certain is that the TRAVEL / TOURISM industry is taking hundreds of $$$ millions in loses both in CHina as in all over Europe, we don’t know how long the Coronavirus will last but China did ‘burn’ $$$ millions of its currency just to be safe. The $$$DEbt ceiling is only increasing and there’s talk that the Chinese government is going to have to step in to save hundreds of Chinese Corporations from going into bankruptcy if the Coronavirus continues in CHina. Even the EU closed its Greek border this time they are not accepting ‘Refuges’ who could be carriers of the virus.
I still think this is media driven hysteria. Satan has taken a page right out of his playbook called “fear and chaos”. And is it ever working. Why is it that no one ever mentions the number of people who are dying from the regular flu on a daily basis? I’m sure there are many. When the swine flu was happening I don’t remember giving it much thought other than I needed to be diligent in washing my hands, staying away from sick people, etc. I worked in a building of about 3000 people at the time and no one was worried. I bet if Hillary were president this wouldn’t even be an issue. There probably would have been some obscure headline saying “new flu virus originated in China. President Xi has it under control”. A couple of years ago we had a bad flu outbreak and they had to set up tents in San Diego for the overflow of people who had caught the flu. Not seeing any of that. My friend who lives in San Diego County had to take her mother to the emergency room last week and while her mother was being attended to, my friend was talking to the hospital personnel and even they said this whole thing is overblown. Nothing has gained any traction so far with the left in their quest to remove Trump, but they may be thinking they’ve finally hit on something. Take the economy down and everyone will be looking to blame someone. The leftists will probably say Trump brought the virus with him when he visited with Xi. Satan’s newscasters are doing a great job of creating panic. I was watching a local channel to get a weather report and 1 of Satan’s newscasters was talking about the virus. The drama and fear in her voice was laughable. I thought I was watching an SNL skit. She sounded like a nuclear bomb had taken out the entire East Coast or something. We believers know this is not a tribulation event because we’re still here. It could be a harbinger of things to come and you would hope it would be a wake up call. Sadly, I think it’s having the opposite affect and it’s just making the haters even more angry. If this were an Ebola type virus or a virus with a seriously high death rate I would be very concerned. Maybe some of you saw the guy interviewed on Laura Ingraham. He was still on the cruise ship in quarantine. He said it was no worse than a cold in his case. Now he is a healthy guy. Granted, if you’re elderly and/or sickly you will probably get very sick and might even succumb. But that would probably happen with the regular flu. I think I read that 45 million people were infected with the flu in the 2017-2018 cycle. Where was the panic? The freeways here where I live are as packed as ever. People still eating out, going to the store. What was it FDR said? “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself”.
If, God forbid, a Dem wins the election (and that would really be something to be fearful of) 5 minutes after his election the coronavirus epidemic will be declared over. They’ll have found a cure and all will be right with the world.
Hi Adriana,
The problem is that you are comparing a new emerging virus where people have no natural defense to a seasonal flu where most have natural immunity or get a flu shot. The mild cases are mostly with young and healthy people. Over 50 million people in our country are not among those people and are rightly concerned. The flu kills about a half million people each year worldwide. This virus has the potential to kill 100 million within a year once it is spread all over the globe. That is 100 times more deadly than a seasonal flu.
Granted it will kill mostly sick and elderly people. Even so, the potential of killing millions is what is leading to the quarantines and that will lead to economic disruptions that will even effect young adults. So everyone better pay attention and do all they can to stop this virus from spreading in their own area.
What is not being talked about much is that over 90 percent of antibiotics and critical drugs necessary to fight this and other diseases in our country come from China and India. India already said they will no longer be exporting 150 of those critical drugs because they cannot get the products they need from China to produce them or because their own population will need the drugs. I suspect China will also need the drugs (they may or not be making now) to treat their own people.
In a couple of months you might go to the doctor for a routine bacterial infection and not able to get antibiotics to fight it. The drug shortages also will hit hospitals that treat every kind of disease and not just coronavirus. If nothing else, this should be a wake up call.
What could sink Trump is if he keeps acting like this virus is not going to be a big problem and that it will not have a major impact on the economy. It will, unless it just as suddenly becomes less deadly for one reason or another.
Here’s a clip of the same sentiment of Don’s from a market report I get.
https://i.imgur.com/iC98ntn.png
Al Brooks (Who gives this weekend report) is sort of describing the effects of the tribulation with people dying I don’t know if he’s a Christian or not but I wonder if he knows what he is describing?

Wow look at that ! These #’s are automatic I didn’t place that # there..
Another black swan event that’s happening may be the oil markets. The Saudis cutting per barrel oil prices and flooding the markets is going to be a problem. There’s more here than meets the eye. Russia saying they can live with lower oil prices is rather strange as well. 1 of the areas that Trump has had great success is in the energy field. Tons of well paying jobs. All those jobs could be in jeopardy with oil continuing to fall. And who knows what the financial fallout will be with a lot of these leveraged companies. And more stock market destruction. Another way to get at Trump. Seems like there are so many forces coming against him all at once. An all out assault by Satan. Lots of strange goings on. Pray for our president.
Great article Don, thanks for sharing. This virus may very well be the catalyst that gets everything rolling downhill.
Markets have and are continuing to take a beating. I pray Trump can weather this thing. He will also need the help of many seniors who are at high risk from the virus. That could pose a problem at the ballot box later this year.
Turkey’s actions have been getting interesting. Why do we keep them in NATO? Lots going on.
I believe we hit the Black Swan event with the Coronavirus almost wiping out all of the financial gains the economy made under Trump’s presidency.
Hi Christine,
Yeah, what a difference just two weeks make.
