Democrats, media want to blame Trump

To the Editor:

Congratulations to the politicians and the news media! You have been able to take a serious virus situation and enlarge it to a horrible pandemic situation. These scare tactics have further created other situations which have greatly affected our economy.

The solutions the politicians have enforced by quarantine have led to mass unemployment and failure of many small businesses.

To solve this problem, the government has produced and signed a $2.2 trillion bailout program. The money to cover this will be created by the Treasury printing inflationary currency. This inflationary burden is the largest ever perpetrated on our economy.

Since this situation has occurred during President Trump’s administration, he will be blamed by the liberal Democrat politicians!

So, congratulations to Nancy Pelosi. You were unable to impeach President Trump, so instead have inspired the liberal news media to create this pandemic crisis.
