    What I mean is, why can't you give him the credit?

    I assign him the credit he is due. He is to be commended for finally abandoning his irrational insistence that he had coronavirus "under control!", that it would just "go away!" because everybody was "getting better!"

    Does my estimation equate with the credit he assigns himself in the current crisis or in general? No, it is much more in line with the assessment of most Americans.

    I don't mean specific to this crisis. Do you give him credit for all of the positive things that he takes credit for?

    Well there never was an old hoax, so it is a lie to begin with!
    And "THIS" is the truth about the Trump-45 virus the Dems were saying. Since the Dems were telling the truth it wasn't a hoax, COVIDIOT Tramp lied again. Tramp is the hoaxer who always accuses others of what he is doing, but you knew that already.
    Definition of hoax
    (Entry 1 of 2)
    transitive verb
    : to trick into believing or accepting as genuine something false and often preposterous

    Well if he does something positive, how has he not earned the right to take credit for it?

    The swine flu killed 12,000 out of 60 million with no quaratine measures. Basically it was just another flu. Covid has killed almost 20,000 out of 500,000 infected, and its just getting into the swing of things, even with major quaratine measures. The daily death rate from covid has risen from 1,000 last week to 2,000, and is going to continue to rise. In the best case scenario, covid kills 100,000 to 200,000 people. In the worst, it kills over 1 million.

    You appear to not be familiar with Trump/Russia and Trump/Ukraine. Have you actually been living in a cave?

    I think you mean the CHINESE virus, given that China is where the virus is from.
    Calling it the "Trump-45 virus" is a simply HILARIOUS and PATHETIC attempt to get away from the fact that it is the CHINESE virus! Or KUNG-FLU! :roflol:

    They were giving their OPINION on how Trump was responding. How the hell is that the truth?

    What has he accused others of that "he is doing?"

    This definition applies perfectly. The hoax in this case being that the dems are tricking people into believing that Trump is personally responsible for everything that has now happened due to coronavirus.

    I'm not sure what you mean by, "if I post him removing the watch dog from his post." Anyway, whatever you do, I'm happy to acknowledge anything which is demonstrated.

    So it's seriousness was only considered after it was over after looking at the death count? I'm asking why it wasn't taken at seriously as it was breaking out!

    What I mean is, I'm not sure what is meant by bailing out a war.

    We knew the swine flu was a flu. We knew that covid was much worse than the flu because of the deaths in China. We knew that since February.

    Are you saying that he knew everything that he does now about the Chinese government when he said that?

    He knew everything he WANTED TO KNOW about China when he said that.
    Remember the "stable genius" claims he knows more about everything in any field than all the experts in any field combined because he had an uncle who was a "super genius."

    Ahhh, the perpetual Right-wing dumb act again!
    Politicizing the Trump-45 virus, obviously.

    Sorry, Trump conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election? You're actually still going with that! :roflol:

    It actually started HERE during the 2018-19 influenza season long before China. The CDC reported 60 cases of a novel unnamed influenza, only now do we know the name of that virus, Trump-45 virus AKA the COVID-19 VIRUS.

    How is Trump politicising it? His attacks on the dems are counter-punches to them criticising him for his response to coronavirus.

    It was made painfully obvious in the Mueller report, so obvious that Barr had to lie about the report to SUCKERS like you.

    The Dem criticism are facts, not attacks. Truth is only an attack to a LIAR!
