President Trump's briefings concerning the coronavirus

He gives the impression of someone responsible for policy who defers to the experts when a scientific is raised. He wasn't the genius expert who outsourced our manufacturing to China, or the genius expert who invited Chinese students from Wuhan to drop off their pathogens and steal our intellectual property. He is the only person in DC who saw the danger of intertwining our society with that of China. He was the guy your geniuses called xenophobic when he banned travel back and forth to China in January.

He wasn't the genius who demanded that Fannie & Freddie buy loans after the GOP discovered that, as HUD director, the genius failed to fund OFHEO, the GSE regulator,

HUD No. 99-131
July 29, 1999

CUOMO ANNOUNCES ACTION TO PROVIDE $2.4 TRILLION IN MORTGAGES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR 28.1 MILLION FAMILIES

WASHINGTON - Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo today announced a policy to require the nation's two largest housing finance companies to buy $2.4 trillion in mortgages over the next 10 years to provide affordable housing for about 28.1 million low- and moderate-income families.

Cuomo said the historic action by HUD raises the required percentage of mortgage loans for low- and moderate-income families that finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must buy from the current 42 percent of their total purchases to a new high of 50 percent - a 19 percent increase - in the year 2001. The percentage will first increase to 48 percent in 2000.

Here's another genius who, following in the footsteps of climate geniuses, made a small error:

It is strange that you assume (quite incorrectly, by the way) that I am doing something "for the purpose of damaging the President." (Actually, I simply cannot imagine that an internet forum might have that effect--whether intended or not--anyway.)

And I prefer Donald Trump to either Bernie Sanders or (the much more likely Democratic candidate) Joe Biden--that is why there is (as I stated previously) over a 99 percent chance that I will vote for him in November (as I did also in 2016)--yet I feel free to criticize him when I believe that criticism is warranted.

 

I think you are correct.

I think this is not a true "pandemic," but--as others have classified it--more of a "Dem Panic."

 

This has been the entire point and motive of the left since they apparently first learned of the Chines Virus...which apparently wasn't until some time in Feb, after their impeachment hoax failed. They didn't even know that Trump had already offered to send experts over to China months earlier to try and help, nor did they know he had already declared an national medical emergency....they did know about the travel ban, but they called it xenophobic and racist....frankly many more Americans would be dead today had dems been in power

 

Ha! Thank you for that!

 

Once again AJ is on the wrong side of the majority of Americans and the experts, who, largely due to the briefings, approve of the President's handling of the Chinese Virus.

He does leave the briefings to the doctors and experts....your comment highlights you haven't even watched them

 

Thats the amazing thing... They listen to quick bits on it from their umm trusted sources.. They have no clue what is going on.

 

That's a major problem...it has been, but specifically when dealing with the Chinese virus.

 

I don't agree with him on every matter either. He is simply not scared to assert opinions and make decisions that align with my conservative sensibilities --- despite him not being an ideologue. Experts in skills like persuasion will tell you that Trump is top notch, but because he has acceptable skills in all of the necessary elements that make up good persuaders without being expert at any. But, attributing selfish motives to Trump is out of bounds. He didn't need to do this and will have lost money and market when it's over.

 

The first two-thirds of your post, I largely agree with.

But why would it be "out of bounds" to suggest the possibility that President Trump has been told by his advisors that he needs to get out in front of this, as his handling of the matter will either make or break his presidency?

To scoff at that--or, worse yet, to berate it--seems like the epitome of naivete.

 

Just a coincidence all your postings are LW.

 

It is pretty obvious his handling of this will have some impact on the election, he doesn't need anyone to tell him that. So far, most Americans approve.

 

My posts tend to be anti-Trump. That doesn’t make me “LW”. It makes me perceptive.
I believe in fiscal responsibility. Reducing the deficit. Ideally balancing the budget. That should make me a conservative, but definitely not a Republican in Trump’s party. Modern Republicans are more fiscally profligate than many Democrats.

 

I think he does it for two reasons.
1. It keeps the lefties from complaining he does not keep us informed.
2. It keeps the lefties complaining that he is taking up the airwaves on a daily basis and due to the huge audience he is drawing it is boosting the publics' confidence in their president which is showing up in the polls.

If one fits into either category,

there are other channels that do not broadcast his speech.

 

So, each quarter he donates his salary less taxes to a government agency in need. Each year he donates profits earned from foreign dignitaries to the treasury. His family works for the American people free of charge. By beating Hillary and attacking the status quo of the bureaucracy and world order, he enraged the left to the point of irrational hatred. What has he gained or sought to gain for himself? NADA. Now he may think that saving the US from leftists is the only way to save the future of the country and be motivated by making sure the Green Death doesn't get more of a foothold than it has today. I won't argue that. He has to know that his days are numbered at the pace he is going, so his motivation has to be to benefit the country that allowed him to be successful.

 

There are millions of government employees across thousands of agencies. Some are front and center all the time others are not. CDC comes to the forefront at certain times. He stated a while back that he wants to understand the CDC. In his second term, he will clean up the intel agencies who have a record of failure. Now that he understands CDC, he will be cleaning up the mess that had no testing infrastructure after a few pandemics. Hillary lover Anthony Fauci may be on the block if he is found to have been working against the American people.

 

Three years? He hasn't done anything to "fix" the CDC in three years?

If one of my direct reports told me that they had been in a job for three years, something that was their responsibiity was a disaster when they arrived, they had not fixed it in their three years and that was now creating a huge threat to the company, they would be out the door.

 

What did Obama do in 8 years? Bush in 8 years? Obama infected 60.8 Million in 2009 and 2010 and killed 12,500. He never defeated it ,,, it's still coming back to kill people. H1N1 was easy ,,, it didn't attack old people with compromised lungs or immune systems.

How could he have 60.8 million infections and not implement an infrastructure for mass testing? And he was Mister Healthcare. Going in, the geniuses in our bureaucracy couldn't test squat. Coming out we will be able to test multiples of the closest country.

 

Sure. He loves America and he loves Americans. He's doing a much better job than the Fake News Media:

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH OUR FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THAT IT’S NOT JUST FREQUENTLY WRONG, IT’S THAT IT’S ALWAYS SELF-ASSUREDLY ARROGANT IN ITS WRONGNESS:

 

So you have no answer to why Trump didn’t take a single step, in over three years, to fix what he claims was broken.

 

He did great things. He beat down our enemies in the FBI and CIA and MI6 that Obama unleashed against him. He fought the return of Obama's H1N1 in the first half of the 2018 - 2019 flu season while beating down the sham impeachment underwritten by Mullah Nadler and his Iranian owners. He was also busy making sure that Iran could no longer attack a US diplomatic outpost and kill our people by taking out Suleimani.

 

The real question is, "Why are members of Congress like Sherrod Brown who presided over the outsourcing of our manufacturing to China and importing of their diseases still collecting a salary while the one government employee who doesn't see a dime from public service is the only one reversing the damage?"

 

So you acknowledge that he didn’t take a single step, in over three years, to fix what he claims was a broken CDC. That level of incompetence would result in dismissal in the private sector.

 

Deflection. You have no excuse for PINO’s incompetence.

 

I acknowledge that he has done great things to defeat the virus. He banned travel to and from China over the objection of green new dealers. #GreenDeath was largely the result of globalists calling for more Chinese kids in our colleges. The response was amazing ,,, would have been better if Cuomo had found the Ventilators that were shipped to his warehouse and if Democrats hadn't hoarded 39M N95 masks in CA. It would have had beautiful results if Democrats in NYC hadn't decided to infect the eastern seaboard after infecting their city.

NYC might have had enough hospital beds if their Medicare for All plan, implemented as Medicaid Expansion, hadn't bankrupted and caused the shuttering of numerous hospitals. Now I have to pay for your #GreenDeath by moving a hospital ship to replace perfectly good hospitals. I have to pay for Trump to walk Cuomo to his own warehouse to show him what thousands of ventilators look like. Now you want to ban the fuel for Ventilator delivery trucks. You do not own any high ground. You own the #GreenDeath.
