Welker is a hack.

Good luck in the markets MAGA…

That’s quite the pivot

Welker says that like Drumpf didn't fire the Pandemic Response Team in 2018...In my humble opinion, Drumpf should be charged with mass man$[@ght3r.

Yeah, that statement should bolster the stock market. 🙄

Recession may already be here. youtu.be/yVK75OHqDXo

Comparing covid to a recession is golden. These are such unserious people!🤯

Obama sort of predicted COVID. He set up 2 pandemic response agencies to prepare for a possible pandemic. Trump dissolved both of them in 2017.

*1.2 million.

And most of those who died were from Red States so, y'know, silver linings etc...

Really starting to hate Bessent.

Hard to believe, but this guy may be more punchable than Mnuchin.

Did Trump release Covid on purpose?

Yes there will be an "adjustment". Trillions will be adjusted from the US economy into the portfolios of extranational oligarchs.

That means there will be a recession at least…maybe a global depression. Just because they want to destroy the economy.

The pande.ic response team working in the WH before dumpy fired them.

Since there's a play-book for BOTH, it would appear BOTH are predicted with certainty such that when specific events or occurances align, those things will happen. What ISN'T in that play-book is the intentional driving of an entire global economy off the cliff & doing nothing to reverse course.

Every fucking scientist who that Agent Orange ignored! They told him to shut it down and he replied with, "it'll be gone by April", "15 to zero in no time"

Science predicted it

he's comparing apples to zebras.

….the CDC and Obama’s entire administration. 🤨 They handed over documents to Trump to tell him to get ready, which he promptly threw out.

Total bullshit Infectious diseases aren't economies Stop the discussion right there

I really can't stand these fkn morons anymore

The Amercan Dream: Mark Zuckerberg’s Secret Hawaii House: The Craziest Features nymag.com/intelligence...

Uhm, the people who are paid to predict and prepare for those things? Wait, I mean used to be paid to do it.

Scientists?

Just like they were left with an economy that was the envy of the world.

But you can predict the impact of tariffs, deporting millions of people that do the work that Americans don’t want to do, firing thousands of government workers, pissing off any ally you have ever had and detaining travellers to the US and tanking the tourism market. Prediction: it’s all bad!!

Rich assholes like Bessent want a recession. When ordinary people like me lose their jobs, & their homes get repossessed, the Mitt Romney's of the world swoop in and buy those properties at pennies on the dollar.

Ah yes, Covid. How did we inflict that on ourselves? Are they counting on another Covid to cover for this tariff bumblefuckery?

I can't bear to turn on the sound on this clip, but the smugness comes through anyway. What a tool!

This guy is a giant lizard in a suit

Who!? Dr Linda Quick. That’s who would have predicted it. www.reuters.com/article/worl...

Uh yes, a coronavirus pandemic was predicted by scientists. Unfortunately, trump canned the organization prepared to deal with it

LOL a lot of people predicted a global pandemic, just as a lot of people now predict a recession. I thought these people were about COMMON SENSE? If everything you’re doing has historically provoked a recession, there will probably be a recession.

The Obama administration thought so. That’s why they created the pandemic response team that trump dismantled.

what an unserious clown. is there obvious consequences for your actions? naw, we will just pretend the obvious isn't happening and gaslight. we have our propaganda in place so nobody will notice

A pandemic and purposely tanking our economy arent exactly comparable. These people are making themselves into laughingstocks just to please the orange guy. Talk about useful idiots!

So if a recession happens it will someone or something that caused it, not Trump. It is never dear leader's fault.

Another USEFUL IDIOT on a shit spewing Sunday news with MSM allowing FVCKING LIES!

What a dumb question Welker asks The MAGA Joker Treasury Secretary Bessent. She should've asked about how the tariffs and price gouging from corporations are causing financial harm to the America people

Every fuckin word here is a damn lie. I hate Trumpublicans.

I’d like my social security contributions refunded now.

WE DID! Mf, the world warned you about covid

Joe Biden predicted both COVID's seriousness and MAGA's incompetence at dealing with it on January 27th, 2020 in an op ed piece published in USA Today. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Potential pandemics have always been known to be easy to spread and quickly become world wide catastrophes. All it takes is one Donald Trump or RFK Jr in any major hub country and BOOM the whole world is threatened with death.

April 2018 NIH report new strain of corona June 2019 S.1379 - Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2019 www.congress.gov/bill/116th-c... Aug 2 2019 FY 2020 Budget became law without shutdown threats 2 months before it was due suspended debt limit for 2 years

This is #doublespeak right out of 1984.

This man has one mission: protect at all costs the hegemony of oligarchs and Wall Street’s power over working people. Recessions hurt working people 1000% more than his wealthy friends. Trump’s manufactured recession will make his mission easier

Believe Obama predicted COVID five years before it hit…

The blinking is out of control. Is a script being actively uploaded to his brain?

Science predicted Covid. tRump threw out Obama’s playbook on how to handle a pandemic. Idiots running country.

As the administration dismantles all the organizations that could prevent and/or help another pandemic. These are truly full of bullsh*t Let them Eat Cake people. Just smug wealthy people who think it won't affect them.

Narrator: the scientists you’re firing.

Yes, a recession and a pandemic are fundamentally a result of lab leaks

Not to mention that he ignored intelligence on COVID... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Umm… everyone?

Even the movie Contagion predicted a global pandemic in the near future, but the entire Tangerine Tyrant's administration was too busy trying to hide him cheating Biden out of an election to notice or care.

All these flunkies in Trump’s cabinet promised not to criticize anything Trump does. They all are losers

While Welker has credulously carried their water since taking the gig. Fuck her with the heat of 1,000,000 suns.

There's a virologist or don't kind of scientist on Twitter who had a tweet from 2015 or 16 saying the next pandemic would likely be in the Sars family and originate in a wet market in China.

Scientists did

Wasn’t there a playbook developed by the Obama administration for a scenario for an infectious disease pandemic … so yeah, people did have a plan for Covid, Trump just mishandled, to put it mildly, the situation.

On the "other side" of other people's pain.

As of March 8, cost to taxpayers since Jan 20 was $18.2 MILLION for Trump's golf. What's it up to now www.huffpost.com/entry/donald... Meanwhile, Elon Musk is ROBBING America's seniors - STEALING their #SocialSecurity directly from their bank accounts: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... #Medicare

I predict they'll tank the economy and pillage.

What? Idiot. Your policies are going to crash the economy

…a few of the agencies that the administration has shuttered were predicting Covid, for what it’s worth.

🤨 🤔

Is he saying Trump started COVID?

The pandemic team put in place by Obama could have seen and responded to COVID But Trump axed that early in his first term.

Fucken pathetic Bastards!!!

The Obama administration predicted Covid. They had an entire plan for it. Trump and his cronies tossed it out.

Let me think. Most experts? 🤔

POS

Trump's "strategy" on Covid was "Ignore it, it will go away." It didn't. As to a recession, two months ago, we were rocking along ok. But now there's a risk of a downturn. We might as him, "What's different?"

They know they're doing it on purpose.

I guess Bessent wants to ignore the fact that his boss ignored intelligence on COVID... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Happy MAGA. This is what you voted for.

Our pain their gain

Well to extrapolate literally nothing in life is guaranteed but I'd put my money on the laws of economics 🧐

Americans fetishize billionaires like teenage girls at a Beatles concert. It is unsurprising to see Americans being lectured on affordability by billionaire hedge fund manager.

Me! I could have predicted covid. I read books and articles written by people who know stuff. It's not that hard.

The billionaire doesn’t worry about starving.

Hahahahaha So we are back to blaming COVID..but, when COVID actually lead to inflation, it was democrats fault?! And, when COVID pandemic began and Trump was President, it was Chinas fault?

She’s just dumb, frankly.

CDC, NIH...hundreds of other experts that Trump paid no attention to.

And Welker=Weak/Why bother.

Dr. Nancy Messonnier did. Then Trump lost his shit and never let her speak to a reporter ever again.

Science, bitch! Scientists predicted covid!

Can you guarantee your tariff bullshit won’t drag us into a depression?

Lame question.

Obama's pandemic preparedness task force would've predicted covid, but someone fired them.

They were predicting Covid and other pandemics for years

Lie lie lie, cover cover cover for his pos boss!

the pandemic response team that Trump fired?

Literally this. Obama did work to work on pandemic prevention, and one of Trump’s most horrible decisions was to destroy it.

Is anybody still watching Meet the Press?

Seems most got lost on his covid comment "Banks are ready to start lending" Rich are going to get richer

Can't predict what will happen when his policies are in place. But he's damn sure and can predict what would've happened to the economy when it was roaring. Absolute HUGE load of bullshit. What a lying asshole.

Obama did. And he prepared this country for it.

Just another staff moron saying stupid shit.

So he gives a bullshit answer and Welker just accepts it. No pushback, no accountability, no demand for facts. This is what’s wrong with mainstream media outlets. Just another tool for MAGA to easily spread their propaganda.

But he threw out the Obama playbook for pandemics. What a nit-wit!

Other than the Obama team leaving an infectious disease playbook a document titled “Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.”

why do they all have that creepy smile?

Even "Moscow Mitch" McConnell acknowledged that he was incorrect in his assertion that the Obama administration didn’t leave behind any kind of "game plan" regarding a pandemic threat.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct 😂 After his boss canned the NSC pandemic unit in 2018 there was no on LEFT that could've seen it coming Bigly smart 4D chess grandmaster level move.

Everyone! Everyone predicted covid. We had a manual. We had agencies prepared for covid. Fucking fascist.

Smug, schmarmy bastard. There's also no guarantee that you won't be run out of town on a rail. He has a face that should have the smirk knocked off of.

Who would have predicted COVID? Scientists.

Right? Asinine comparison, read distraction/pivot

“But tariffs were planned, we did that?” I hear the experienced network anchor ask… No?

such a tool. Camera ready bobble head.

A recession he going to push us in full blown depression .

They are orchestrating the recession... Their stupidity is next level

Stupid question easily danced around.
