Trump today made an executive order to end medical supply chain reliance on China.
11 Mar 2020 ~ By Christian Datoc
White House Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro confirmed Wednesday the administration is working on an executive order to eliminate the government’s reliance on foreign-made medical supplies.
The “Buy American” order comes on the heels of concerns expressed by senators during their Tuesday meeting with President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill.

The order would prevent federal agencies from purchasing medical supplies, including face masks, gloves and ventilators, from China.

China has prevented the export of surgical face masks, severely limiting supplies in the U.S. and countries around the world.
“China has managed to dominate all aspects of the supply chain using the same unfair trade practices that it has used to dominate other sectors — cheap sweatshop labor, lax environmental regulations and massive government subsidies,” Navarro told New York Times. “As President Trump has said, what we need to do is bring those jobs home so that we can protect the public health and the economic and national security of the country.”
He added that the EO would cover more than 400 “essential medicines” that “satisfy the priority health care needs of the population.” Additional products targeted in the order include “medical countermeasures” made to protect against chemical and biological threats, radiation, nuclear fallout and infectious diseases like coronavirus.
“Nothing we do now will impede in any way our ability to get what we need when we need it from foreign sources,” he told CBS.

I sincerely hope Australia is smart enough to do the same thing. China can shove their masks and pharmaceuticals. It's insane that we have given over so much life saving manufacturing to the Chinese.

No no, it's Obama's economy ... haven't you heard?
“Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history,” Obama tweeted in mid-February.
I guess if Obama's responsible for the increase in the stock market, he's also responsible for the recent declines.

Except Obama left the Oval Office nearly 3 years ago...

Of course he did.
You seem to have missed the point: As of mid-February -- that means 2020 -- Obama was still trying to take credit for the rise in the stock market, which at that time was approaching the 30,000 mark.
Can't have it both ways.
Of course, Obama is proving the old adage: "Success has many fathers."
You ask: "How is the stock market doing under Trump?" Today it rebounded dramatically, registering a gain of nearly 2,000 points by the afternoon.
I'm sure Obama had something to do with that, too. At least in his own narcissistic mind.

Trump is responsible (in his own words) for the massive rise in the stock market since 2016. He is also responsible therefore for it's massive drop. QED.
