He's the greatest job destroyer of all time. Nobody in the history of the planet has ever done it better. Make Americans Grab Assistance, baby!!

What has been reported so far paints a gloomy picture. In just six weeks, 30 million Americans have filed for unemployment insurance. Each weekly report since mid-March has been in the millions — multiple times higher than the worst week of the Great Recession, when 665,000 filed for unemployment insurance.

It took only four weeks of the coronavirus pandemic to erase all jobs created since the Great Recession. Now, there are millions more unemployed, signaling that the economic downturn from the coronavirus pandemic will be severe.

As terrible as the job loss numbers are, they are only part of the picture. There could be more Americans unemployed, according to economists, as not everyone who lost work has been able to file for benefits.
