      Or, he's resigned himself to losing. Note that he is going to push Barrett through, if it kills him.

      Do you think he's that noble? Pushing a SCOTUS appointment over his own self-interest?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            I was going to start a thread about this.

            1. He's trailing by 9 points (according to many polls)
            2. He wants to cut off the stimulus which will prevent people from getting a handout another check.
            3. More businesses will probably go under, particularly restaurants
            4. He walks away from the table, and Nancy says, "Who cares? I'll be here in January, you probably won't."

            Possibilities:

            1. He's tired of being POTUS
            2. SARS-CoV-2 has caused neurological damage

                And a case can still be made that the reversal may be due to him changing his COVID-19 meds then. 🙂

                    Does "the market" not know that Trump will change his mind?
                    Or is "the market" telling to Trump to change his mind, "or else!" ?

                      Or is the market so volatile, that news of any kind moves the graph?

                        The correct over/under is “hours”:

                          Trump simply inserted himself, I don’t understand why no one saw that coming.

                              Trump inserted himself only to reverse himself a few hours later, a rather incompetent move.

                              Oh well, at least @jon-nyc saw Trump's "reversal" coming, just a bit off with his timing (reversal in "hours" as opposed to reversal in "a day or two").
