Because, with all of the tax cuts, (what should have been unnecessary) massive COVID-19-related spending and soaring deficits, we just have _oodles_ of cash lying around. ---

I don’t see a Trump re-election thread, so I’ll mention this here: [Trump’s pitch to voters: Trust me, economy will soar in 2021](https://apnews.com/2118450a75fb2a495c491f6f7d5f9d33) > [@](#): > > As the economy faces a once-in-a-century recession, with more than 38 million people out of work, Trump is increasingly talking up a future recovery that probably won’t materialize until after the November election. He’s asking voters to look past the pain being felt across the nation and give him another four-year term on the promise of an economic comeback in 2021. > > “It’s a transition to greatness,” Trump says over and over, predicting a burgeoning economy come the fall. “You’re going to see some great numbers in the fourth quarter, and you’re going to end up doing a great year next year.” ---

“You’re going to see some great numbers in the fourth quarter, and **you’re** going to end up doing a great year next year.” Those of us still alive anyway. Last two democratic presidents pretty much saw sustained economic growth throughout their two terms. Looking forward to another run, perhaps with the GOP receding to third party status. ---

She had fainted, the result of a heart condition, and hit her head on a desk, he said. > > Now, nearly 20 years later, Klausutis’s death has captured the attention of the country’s most prominent purveyor of conspiracy theories — the president of the United States — who has without evidence speculated that she might have been murdered and that the case should be reopened. > > The reason for President Trump’s fixation: At the time of her death, Klausutis was working for a Republican congressman from Pensacola named Joe Scarborough — the same Scarborough who today, as host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, is a fierce critic of Trump and has in recent weeks decried the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic as a failure. > > “A lot of interest in this story about Psycho Joe Scarborough,” Trump tweeted Sunday, the latest in a string of recent tweets on the matter in which the president has unleashed a torrent of false allegations, mischaracterizations and baseless rumors. “So a young marathon runner just happened to faint in his office, hit her head on his desk, & die? I would think there is a lot more to this story than that? An affair? What about the so-called investigator?” > > A day earlier, Trump claimed without evidence that the case was now a “big topic of discussion in Florida,” calling Scarborough a “Nut Job (with bad ratings)” and declaring to his followers: “Keep digging, use forensic geniuses!” In a tweet earlier last week, Trump mused: “Did he get away with murder? Some people think so.” > > No one in Klausutis’s family would talk about Trump’s tweets for this article, fearing retaliation by online trolls of the type who went after parents of the Sandy Hook massacre victims. > … > > Scarborough, who was 900 miles away in Washington on the day Klausutis died, and his co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, have both expressed outrage on the air in recent days — saying that Trump’s false accusations were most hurtful to Klausutis’s family. Brzezinski called Trump a “cruel, sick, disgusting person” and said he was using the episode to distract from the pandemic. > … My emphasis. TWENTY YEARS AGO??? :smack: ---

When it comes to that poor woman from 20 years ago, Trump is just recycling the Vince Foster conspiracy. Hell, I bet Trump didn’t even come up with it. It was probably suggested to him by a loyal staffer or some political ally.
