He was a racist when he wanted to stop people from coming in from China a few months ago

I'm sorry you think he is a racist.

But it wasn't "a few months ago" it was February 2nd. I agreed with that measure, but I wondered why he stopped there. THAT'S when he should've activated the CDC to develop and distribute test kits to try to gather as much data as he could before addressing the people on the subject at his "press conference" 4 weeks later.

I'm sorry you can't see it due to your TDS, but he's coming off as a complete gidrool by not having hard data and information to disseminate to the public. Everything he says in the absence of data sounds like, "There are no American tanks in Baghdad."

That's why the press is able to sensationalize the topic, there is no real information. Data assuages fear while bloviating sells papers.

What data do you not have that you wished that you did have? Just curious.

Number of cases? Got it.

Number of deaths? Got it.

Umm..... what more do you want?

These people are totally unhinged.

Did he create the virus? The Russian government built and mishandled every aspect of proper procedure for Chernobyl.

I would love the clowns who keep saying he has mishandled the virus to give me the steps he hasn't taken.

How about show me a country who has somehow stopped the virus in its tracks.

If China couldn't stop it with total control over the population, then how can any government do anything other than increase some cash to help the sick as they come in. Was $8 billion not enough.

We don't have any idea how many actually have the virus, because there was a leadership vacuum in the early stages


This is one of the more illogical leaps I've ever read.

Duh, that's an easy one... he should have done what he hasn't done and not done what he has done...

Quarantine everyone. If they leave their house, shoot 'em. Simple. Effective.

The places who have slowed it down have taken extreme measures that disrupt normal daily life.

They're under the HHS, which is under the President. If he called them up and said, "get moving", they would've gotten moving. It's called, "leadership".

I thought that's why the president holds press conferences, to disseminate information to the public directly...?

Oh right, Trump doesn't really hold press conferences, he just lets them run with whatever. Besides, if he doesn't actually have any information to disseminate, he may as well just let the press say whatever they think will sell papers.

Yeah, they don't have to have the POTUS call them up and tell them to get moving... that is why they are fully funded and are supposed to be moving and making recommendations and other things...

Like I said, you are fricking clueless...

Well, are you going to throw in there other government officials that spoke out of turn on the particular subject at hand?

So, you think the POTUS controls the press too? Beyond fricking clueless...

I read your post above. It makes no sense. You should read what you wrote and try and comprehend why it is wrong.

and the crucial early phase was squandered.


Is that the same period where Trump put in place a "far to early" travel ban?
