Trump shuts down travel and trade with Europe, will mex border be next?

Trump said he will shut down travel and trade with Europe, due to the “Democrat’s hoax” virus. Then later says maybe not trade.

Sort of like closing the barn door after the chickens got out, eh?

Does he even have the authority to take such action?

Will his Whimsical response to the “hoax” next extend to closing Mexico and Canada borders?

All I know is that we are in "interesting times" Which is actually a Chinese curse ?

"May you live in interesting times" is an English expression which purports to be a translation of a traditional Chinese curse. ... Despite being so common in English as to be known as the "Chinese curse", the saying is apocryphal, and no actual Chinese source has ever been produced.

Goat, cargo (trade) from Europe is not affected. You need to change channels away from fake news.

Well, that ridiculous teleprompter speech last night sent the markets plummeting. Is that the confidence a great leader inspires? Is that fake news?

I wonder how many of Trump's cronies had a heads up on the Europe travel ban announcement and shorted the market? Leaving the rest of us with investments holding the bag?

Unfortunately a politically motivated post, and a stretch for the connection to Baja...

Seems the following is valid:

'Trump Wednesday night announced travel restrictions from Europe to the U.S. for 30 days as COVID-19 spans continents. He incorrectly stated in his televised address that the government “will be suspending all travel from Europe to U.S.,” sowing confusion among travelers and airline crews. The new rules, which take effect Friday, just before midnight, prohibit foreigners who have been in Europe in the last two weeks from entering the country. The U.K. was exempt from the restrictions.'
