She also brought up an excellent example how the economy may not bounce right back up as Trump predicts. Another point, about small mom and pop businesses inability to survive these new close down regulations (many don't have pre-ordering apps, drive-thru, etc etc).I know yesterday at Trumps press meeting he featured Hilton Hotel big wigs etc etc I had to turn the channel it made me so disgusted he used them instead of small business owners!

In all honesty I have to admit I'd never cared much for Stephanie Ruhle, but after today I have a new found respect for her.
Oh another thing I forgot to mention. She brought up why should some of these cruise-lines be bailed out when they are based out of other countries and pay almost no corporate tax.
