    So did Trump. You need a broader scope of reading material. You only get one side from the hateful sites you read.

    Return flights can be booked. It even says so in the link ""Beijing- Los Angeles-San Francisco (round-trip)" and "Beijing-New York Kennedy -Washington (round-trip)" hence the 4 different flight numbers

    Obama was a champ, and Trump the Chump was forced into action by his party.

    I have tried. And got to the page where it started requesting my personal details which is where I stopped. You need to book flights that start from 25th march. Just checked again. 24th march to 31march lax to Beijing round trips. $3934

    So you made it up that you went further in the booking procedure and did not even know that it was Air China. Why would you do that?

    And you think that the US have given a license to a major airline to operate in many US international airports that is known to steal money from Americans. Is that what you are saying?

    Never said I did anything. Just inquiring what you were up to. You confuse easy.
    Obviously Air China is going to attempt to look as though they are defying the trump travel ban. Book it if you want then wait for the plane to land. LMAO

    Yes, but since the leftist loyal MSM did not tell the nation the truth about Obama's mishandling of N1H1 -- electing to fanatically spin and cover for their political messiah instead -- as far as Dem Party voters are concerned, none of that ever happened. I think the Dem Party's voters alone keep the Kool-Aid brand alive and well since they compulsively gulp down so very much of it.

    You're writing crap now. Why would Air China allow Americans to book flights to China that aren't true? Why is your President still allowing them to have a license to operate out of US airports? Your desperation to defend Trump's lies are embarrassing

    Election betting odds on Trump dropped below 50% for the first time in a long time. I think Trump's toast. Americans don't particularly like braggarts (Trump couldn't get more votes than Hillary Clinton, of all people), and they really don't like politicians who prematurely spike the football. There's about a dozen Trump/Trump admin quotes that are really going to come back to haunt him. And a recession is guaranteed. It's just a question of how long it lasts.

    We can kind of see now how we're going to deal with this virus. We're going to close up shop for awhile, tamp down the community spread rate, get testing up and running ala S. Korea style, ride out this first wave of infections (which is going to be a brutal couple of weeks), and then quarantine new outbreaks as they occur. We're a service-oriented economy, so the financial fallout will be severe. And for all that, it's going to be hard to keep this out of nursing homes and hospitals, so we're going to lose significant numbers of old and immuno-compromised people.

    I think the landscape in Nov. will be one where tens of thousands of (mostly) old people have died, the virus has been under control for awhile, with occasional hot spots, there are a couple treatments that have some success, a vaccine is in clinical trials, the economic fallout from the world closing up shop for awhile will still be reverberating, and the debt/deficit will be YUGE. Who knows, though? There's a non-trivial chance Biden and/or Trump could die from this.

    Yes, and I've bolded the part of your message that Republicans need to emphasize: Biden actually accused Trump of being xenophobic when he stopped travel from China. Clearly, the message we can take from that is that if Biden had been president, he would have allowed the Chinese flights in until the situation was much more dire - all in the interests of appearing welcoming to foreigners (even if they come from a country massively infected with a virus). The fact that we have held the death rate down to 50 (at the same time multiples more have died from regular flu) is to this early decision by President Trump.

    Trump declared a national health emergency in Jan within days of the first case in the US, months before it was a pandemic and ordered the first quarantine in a half century. That’s leadership.

    He didn’t miss handle it. The OP suggested Obama was a leader for calling in national medical emergency, trump did it well before him.

    Face it. Trump lied once again and his delusional lemmings believe everything he says. I think Hilary Clinton had a word for those delusionals

    Everything I said is based on what he said and did in public, not divinations of the interior workings of his mind. Honestly, I don't even care what he was thinking, I care what he was doing, or not doing.
