What? The federal government is leading and coordinating the response in every other country. That is its job.
It's not staggering. The drama and hyperbole is ridiculous here.
No. You’re right. What a leader.Yeah, you're right. He wasn't distracted by it at all.
With respect, the American response to this epidemic is brutal. Absolutely brutal.
I am. I don't see the end of the world like you guys do.
I'd love for them to do that - that would mean taking responsibility for the outbreak, campaign wise, and that would backfire bigly, IMHO
Of course it did. Soon the IG will have oversight on the 500 bn fund to support businesses. If you get an "acting" sycophant into that post you stand a better chance of steering those funds to supporters and donors, etc.
1. The head of Sweden's equivalent of CDC, Anders Tegnell, who has implemented these measures, stated Friday (could be yday) that they could and should have done more to prevent the spread in the early phase of the pandemic and that they completely underestimated the virus in terms of danger to patients and ability to spread. That said, they stated it was now too late to change strategies
March 13th or so, I believe. Later he stated that he saw it was a pandemic before anyone else
The question at the end of the post is ironic.
His supporters will continue to passionately approve of the job he's done until their last dying breath even though his incompetence caused or contributed to their impending demise. No point in conversing with them.
The President continues to project his inabilities, failings and misconduct onto others. SOP.. Nailed it.
The President of the U.S. expects way more than thousands to die despite lockdowns all over the country. Lockdowns aren't going to save people just delay the inevitable.
Well of course they/we were. We were told by Trump it was no big deal, only couple cases in US and they would be down to 0 shortly. What would be the reason to become alarmed/prepare for something that the leader of the US says is a non issue?
Trump held multiple rallies during this time period, golfed, and hosted at Maralago. His lawyers fired off letters about unitary authority with no legal foundation and Trump threatened public officials not to appear. Even now in the middle of the crisis and throughout it he has been purging people who did their duty. On March 7th he held an event at Maralago that itself seeded the disease.
Yeah, you're right. He wasn't distracted by it at all.
Intelligent people are able to handle several thought streams at the same time--it's sometimes called "multi-tasking". Low intelligence types, on the other hand, are easily distracted and can only focus on one shiny bauble at a time.
I wonder if this is going to be the new line from the republicans which is often the case on complex issues....no solution is a better solution because there is no perfect solution
You mean kind of like those on here that spend all day only obsessing over their Trump hate?
What you call “hate” is really us pining for leadership and competence, but to each their own.Kind of like those on here that spend all day obsessing over their Trump hate?
The president of the US flubbed the ball and could have saved thousands. Lockdowns are, according to most epidemiologists, an effective way to flatten the curve, which will save thousands of lives due to hospitals being able to cope with the infected. If done right. In time.
SQUIRREL!!!!!!
New line? Those of us who have been arguing for more gun control have been hearing it for years.
No it is pretty much hate which spills over to an endless supply of ridiculous generalizations.
I would like to see President Trump react more often to just how awful Joe Biden has personally and politicly behaved during this pandemic. He’s spot on as usual with this assessment.
I highly doubt that what you've written was in the CDC's pandemic response plan. "Let's leave it up to each state to figure out what to do when there's a pandemic that's hit the US. They know what's best for their citizens and we shouldn't take the lead."
It’s pretty sad, and just because 10 other guys hiding behind aliases take the same extreme position in a chat room they really believe it’s close to reasonable. Scary times.
Jon you've said some things about Trump that would make a progressive blush. I don't think it's about hate (I'm guessing you'd argue you balance your disgust for the president), at least not in this thread - currently it's an actual life and death issue. Someone could love the president or hate him or be neutral, but this is undeniably an historical event.
You may not need to flatten the curve depending on whether the hospitals can deal with an influx of patients. If they can handle it, or arrangements can be made for them to handle it, then you can avoid you flushing your economy down the commode for no reason.
Wait what? You applaud Trump, and claim Biden has acted poorly personally and politically?
On February 1st Biden called the coronvirus event a crisis. This was before Trump implemented his partial China travel ban.
