Trump had boasted that the coronavirus was “under control!”, that it was going to “go away!", that few had it. and "the people are getting better, they're all getting better!” “It’s going to disappear!” A month ago today, Trump finally declared a national emergency. “We've been working very hard on this. We've made tremendous progress!" Trump said. "When you compare what we've done to other areas of the world, it's pretty incredible!” Trump said. “When you have 15 people [infected], and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done!” Trump said. “We’ve had tremendous success — tremendous success — beyond what people would have thought!” "We're rapidly developing a vaccine! The vaccine is coming along well!” “We’re testing everybody that we need to test. And we're finding very little problem. Very little problem!” "Anybody that wants a test can get a test!” "And the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect and the transcript!" Trump has provided Americans with his unsolicited, unbiased opinion that he is doing “a hell of a job!", a “terrific job!”, an “incredible job!” Problem: The coronavirus has been out-of-control in the U.S. It didn’t "go away." Everyone didn’t “get better.” In fact, reality has had the impudence to defy Trump! In the U.S., 561,103 cases have been confirmed. 22,106 have died. “It’s Fauci’s fault! It’s the WHO’s fault! It’s the Democrats fault! It’s China’s fault! it’s the ‘Deep State’s fault! It’s immigrants’ fault! It’s Obama’s fault! It’s the Nielsen Ratings’ fault! It’s that lady in Michigan’s fault! It’s socialists’ fault! It’s Romney’s fault! It’s George Conway's fault! It’s…” "I Don’t Take Responsibility At All!” "Little hands are so much easier to wash!"
So True, Natty. And, as usual, spot-on. To hear Trump tell it, nothing is ever his fault. A Horrible Trait for an American President. Trump is what happens when an Unprepared Mistakenly-Elected IMBECILE faces a crisis.
Let's see now, as of yesterday in Britain it was 93,934 infected and 10,946 dead; and since they have a much tinier population than the United States it's vastly more significant numbers of British dead in ratio to their population. So let's see now. Britain's Plan A was to shoot for herd immunity, and as a result a great many more people are now ill and dead than might otherwise have occurred. Their Plan B? Gasp! It was to imitate Trump's approach! An approach mind you that as of yet nary a single Britisher on this forums system has seen fit to criticize in regards to Britain. Odd, eh? So now all of that and yet they are -- one of 'em anyway -- getting hysterical over Trump's POSSIBLE plan B or C or D. Not the actual plan itself, mind you; just the possibility. Sigh!
It is China’s fault and the WHO who covered for them. with that said it’s being handled in the US quite right. we’ve had some issues with New Yorkers but beyond that left wing hit bed we’ve been pretty ok
"PLAN B" will mean that his moral cowardice will be on full-blown display from now until November, as he lashes out like a rabid, omnidirectional, hyperactive hydra with acute hemorrhoidal flare-op. His refusal to accept responsibility for what is his responsibility will only proclaim his impotence as if it were garishly flashing on a shlock casino marquee. I fear for Dr Fauci's life. The crackpots have already been threatening him.
This OP poster would have more credibility in his endless TDS rants where Trump's handling of the CoronaVirus crisis goes if he were first to address what his alleged home nation, Britain, is doing in regards to their now infamous MISHANDLING of the CoronaVirus response. His endless silence on that subject while he attacks Trump nonstop, speaks volumes.
At least we have discovered something, Purple font color and repetitive anti Trump posts do not make anyone look or sound smarter. Post something helpful, it is good for the soul. MAGA
I'm impressed, Bumpo must have worked all night constructing that load of crap! Is the obsession in total control now? We have been debating what the final stages of TDS would look like. Is this the best he can do? Is he there yet? I don't think so. My belief is that those with stage 4 TDS will be driven to a point of exhaustion by the futility, then to whimpering and a time of muttering and mumbling to themselves, unaware of the rest of the world except to know that nobody is paying attention or gives a damn, and will kind of go quietly into the night, sort of like animals that seek a place to end it in private. In his own way, President Trump is helping to restore balance to the American perspective by treating garbage like this as- garbage like this. If you get tired of the garbage business and want to restore your previous life (whatever it was) help is available. Of course, nobody will give a damn or offer help until such people want to help themselves.
Kind of surprising that one has to stipulate the obvious . . . I mean it inherently being obvious and all . . . but very well, let's try using logic on the most elemental of levels. No KNOWN British poster has seen fit to initiate a post critical of their government's handling of the CoronaVirus, so far as we know.
Plan B appears to be a NEW task force. The 'Opening Our Country Council' members will be announced Tuesday. Great people, we're promised. For those not counting, this will be the fourth task force.
His Prince and PM have it....his nation...it's heart beat, the NHS, is literally on life support and dying. Yet he would rather focus on Trump...sad really...really sad...was he one of the Brits hired by the Clinton campaign?
Really? I know of the one dealing with the virus...with great people...what are the other two? We certainly need a team dealing with reopening, we need to do it right
His determined silence on the subject screams loudly that he is afraid to criticize his government. I know that the British government has got a different perspective on free speech than is prevalent inside the United States; but to -- apparently -- be so very terrified is . . . disturbing.
You are just pulling crap out of your nether regions that you cannot substantiate. Furthermore it is ILLOGICAL to make a claim that you cannot substantiate. Even your attempt to rephrase it is illogical! All you have is your own OPINION on this matter!
The Trumpy Fauci Fatwa can only exacerbate the sorry plight of Trumped America. Americans trust Fauci, and Trump is squandering his most valuable and desperately-needed asset if he allows his hysteria over the Doctor telling the truth to allow a personal vendetta to savage the public good. Trump will lash out in every direction to blame others, of course, but indulging in destroying Fauci would amount to a fatal, self-inflicted wound.
They attack us because of petty jealousy. They cant be us so they hate us.. I think the weekly, daily and hourly update on the U.S. death rate is very revealing and obvious of the sort of folks they are
The Doc has made some mistakes...most noteworthy was he was repeating the WHO's lies from China....granted he shouldn't be faulted for that per se, but regardless, he isn't going anywhere...and he along with the President have been the most prepared for the Chinese lies
There is that, and also nobody has convinced me that they do not fear retribution from their government from daring to post the truth about Britain's CoronaVirus response in this forums system. Their nearly universal silence on the subject is deafening. I might become convinced when one of them purporting to be a British citizen currently living inside Britain posts something as scathingly critical of that government and its coronavirus approach as some of them routinely post here in regards to Trump and the United States. Still . . . waiting. Want to convince us . . . then do the posting and make it a real and true attack piece. Name names and get filthy with it.
You are "pretending" that Plan B replaces Plan A. It doesn't. Plan B is in addition to Plan A as the ability to start opening businesses becomes possible. If Trump was not working on a plan to reopen busineses, you would be criticizing him for not having one.
I am pretty sure stage 4 is all caps, bold, italics, colors, as many cartoons as permitted, and lots of apostrophes for emphasis. The solo whimpering and muttering is done for a couple of hours sometime during the day allowing the fingers a rest. The next administration effort which is bringing back the economy will hopefully give us a respite from all the caterwauling at least for a couple of days until the next "crisis". This has been an entertaining 3-1/2 years and I thank them.
There is Jared's team of government allies and representatives from various industries - they are working alongside but separately from Pence's team. As well, there is a 'doctor's group' that meet to discuss the health issues surrounding the virus.
What a load of crap. We are still in plan a as dictated by the science. Mitigation and experimentation. So far it has been modestly successfully. Experimentation is finding potential cures mitigations is limiting the spread.
