I just looked at the DOW, and from what I saw (I'm not economist...) even at the lowest point in late March, the DOW never dropped below where it was when Trump took office. It got close, but was still above where it was when he took over from the previous administration. And now, it's nearing where it was at it's all time high, with no indication of stopping.

The Dow doesn't show the total destruction of small businesses. Some were already gone because they were forced to stay closed. Some were destroyed in the riots. I have no idea how many of these businesses will come back.
Amazon made a lot of money from this.
Agree. A crisis was manufactured however lots of business owners have been devastated from this. I know a small biz owner who estimates his revenue loss around $500K — $1M from the shutdown and now his retirement is pushed back. A lot of people were hurt.
I think Trump did the best he could have under the circumstances but we should never have shut down, and we should NEVER shut down again like that!!! Screw whatever scamdemic they come up with next
