    Yeah. Downplayed. Donald had this hunch is all wasn't so bad, last week. Remember?
    And why Europe has more corona cases, is because the US is hardly testing anybody.
    The UK alone tested 10 times more than the US.
    South Korea tests 5 times more people A DAY than the US has tested in total.
    It's sheer incompetence what is going on.

    Trump = A Complete MORON who Won't Take Responsibility...:smh:

    And, he had contact with a person who tested positive and Trump still hasn't been tested...

    Trump = An INSULT to the Presidency.

    At this point, Trump's Actions have become Totally INDEFENSIBLE.

    It has moved far beyond "It is only the internet, defend Trump at all costs" territory.

    Trump IS Totally INDEFENSIBLE...Period...End of Story...:smh:

    Trump is handling this like a pro, and dems once again come off as rooting for failure.

    So what?

    Everything he did at that Q and A was a Disgrace to the Office.

    He took no responsibility for the Egregious Mistakes that he made by downplaying the initial seriousness.

    He was hoping for a "miracle" when he should have been on top of this weeks ago.

    He was photographed with the Brazilian (who tested positive), yet he is still engaging in things like shaking hands and finally (after much prodding) has agreed to be tested.

    In this moment of national crisis, Trump used his "Bully Pulpit" to personally attack a reporter who asked him questions.

    Trump is a PETTY IMBECILE (Who has the Emotional Maturity of a 10-year-old Instagram Queen).

    Trump NEVER Learned The Meaning of "The Buck Stops Here".

    I find it unfathomable that anybody (regardless of partisanship) can possibly "defend" his behavior during the Q and A.

    Trump handled this like a champ-he acted early and decisively-in fact there was no other nation as prepared as the US.

    Even CNN talking heads are complementing Trump.

    Really? I DISAGREE.

    Things like "Trump handled this like a champ" are straight up "1 From Column A, 1 From Column B, Defend Trump at All Costs, Breitbart Copypasta".

    Nobody buys into that sort of stuff.

    And, if Trump was so "decisive", then why was he hoping for a "miracle", when he should've taken it more seriously (at the beginning)?

    *Cue Breitbart Copypasta and/or Meme Response*

    Actually they are playing catch-up and trying to take credit and you are swallowing it hook line and sinker. The only thing the Dems have done is try to insert their political funding into the bill like PP.

    He handled it like a Boss and made Obama and Joe Biden look even more inept.

    Plus, he just made March 15th a National Day of Prayer.




    It is my great honor to declare Sunday, March 15th as a National Day of Prayer. We are a Country that, throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these....

    Lardass's flipflop would not have been out of place in an Olympic trampoline competition.

    His craven need to lash out and blame others, his lies concerning the availability of testing, his erratic behavior in general aside, going from minimizing the threat - "It's just like flu!", etc., to finally declaring a national emergency was a tour de farce, indeed.

    Poor Anthony Fauci and Robert Redfield stuck with the task of cleaning up his droppings.

    These are the two pifflewits that set him up to look like such a moron:

    nope. You just have the GOP case of selective memory.
    You lot trusted Donald's faith that he had a hunch it wouldn't be this bad.
    Limbaugh called the virus a hoax. It all was blasted by the right wing media.

    A week later... freaking national emergency all hands on deck!
    What a total lack of competence. Poor leadership.
    Clueless.

    He handled it like a boss, the economy is already responding, and the virus has peaked in asia.


    It really makes Obama/Biden seem inept.

    Trump is handeling it like a total idiot.
    He had this hunch it wouldn't be this bad. You right wing lot trusted it.
    And suddenly... we had a stock market crash and we're in the middle of a national emergency.

    If Donald handled it like a boss, than we wouldn't be in this position.
    And Asia handled it like boss, without the help of Donald.

    Trump's having bungled it so badly is costing him:

    Fifty-three percent of registered voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the virus, while 47 percent approve.

    Ominously for Trump, 58 percent of independents disapprove of his handling of COVID-19.

    Incompetence! Plain and Simple.

    In Terms of Presidential Integrity and Competence (Worthy of Respect):

    Trump makes James Buchanan Look Like George Washington.

    Trump is clearly the WORST to ever have occupied the office.

    ^A Statement that is UNIVERSALLY Accepted.:flagus:

    This is the guy who flip flopped from having this so called hunch that it wouldn't be this bad, causing the stock markets to crash. It's all his fault. Closing the borders.... to some countries who have Corona cases, but not to other countries who have massive infection rates like the UK... lol. He probably wants to play golf there.
