    So you believe everything he did was proper and correct. Got it.

    Your confirmed cases and deaths from Covid-19 have nothing whatsoever to do with Trump. NYC has nearly four times the population as your entire county. Guess what? Not all those 10,000 people that are dead were 'libruls' or 'anti-Trumpers'. Covid-19 doesn't discriminate according to political affiliation, anyone that becomes infected gets sick.

    Democratic Senators were noting in early February that Administration officials were not taking this threat seriously. That they were making zero emergency funding requests.

    Again, very little evidence that any Democrat considered that partial travel restriciton to be racist.

    On the contrary, all of it is true. Unlike you, I look things up for myself. I'm not the one trusting everything a demagogue says.

    Without Trump's leadership, with virtually anyone else in charge, we could have had something closer to South Korea's outcome.

    https://www.foreignaffairs.com/arti...4-10/south-korea-offers-lesson-best-practices

    This one has a graph.

    https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsa...the-outbreak-without-shutting-everything-down

    It's dated a couple of weeks ago, so you'll have to imagine that red line representing the U.S. rising somewhere above the preceding title.

    This is how it could have been for us, if not for the incompetence and pettiness of your "dear leader." Your loyalty to him is no longer charming.

    It’s clear they were calling it racist, you may think what evidence is there is insignificant but its not.

    And those local leaders could have taken action. They should have. They didnt and now our biggest failures are in areas that are run by liberals. Shocking.

    Even during a pandemic, all the left cares about is dragging down the President. They have become so desperate and petty that they are reduced to accusing Trump of the most heinous of sins, and that is of being imperfect. Imagine that, Donald Trump is not a perfect being. Finally, the collective left is right about one thing. Unfortunately for them, everyone already knows that no one is perfect. So we are none the wiser from the lefts epic arrival, wild eyed and frothy, at the realm of common knowledge.

    Including Trump himself. He should have issued a national stay-at-home order back in early March.

    WRONG, its clear you just listen to opinions from anti trumpers and parrot that here.

    Impossible to have south Korea’s outcome if you dont take any action and as we know for an objective fact Trump was the first to take action. So thats about as easy of a claim to debunk as I have ever seen lmao.

    What is true, is our original death estimates were massive and due to his leadership they are no longer massive. Even never trumpers are giving him credit, like Cuomo.

    Great job President Trump!

    The liberal leaders of their areas could have taken action, they did not.

    For that reason they got hammered by this thing.

    They should have taken it more seriously. That’s their own fault.

    Their failures are their own.

    You would think that you of all people, which was telling us over and over we were on track for 2 million deaths in the united states, would think that's a helluva accomplishment. Yet here you are blasting Trump for 23,000 vs 2,000,000 that you argued daily for weeks. You guys trying to rewrite history will fall hard. I know you got the DNC marching orders that the people are tired of this damn Chinese Virus after a month and a half so now is the time to strike. I warned the board when you were touting 2 million deaths you would blame Trump even if it were 100,000 and here you are.

    Actually it is very important for the president to inform the public when the fake news media is spreading dangerous disinformation to the public.

    So damn boring I've given you so many links it's not even funny surrounding this. Ole Joe saying he was wrong isn't even evidence for you so sorry not playing your game. We all know it, we were here and trying to hide it says a lot.

    Your the one who said he should have listened to WHO and Fauci and you blamed him for not. I gave you a direct quote from Fauci the very day you said he should have listened to Fauci. Counselor your argument is a joke and your guarantee means about as much as China saying there isn't a virus outbreak.

    Go read the press briefing from Feb 24th, the MSM asked everything from Afghanistan to Judge Ginsberg but Corona wasn't even a blip yet and that is solely due to China withholding the real facts from the press and other countries but please carry on with your elect Joe Biden rants.

    I don't. But then again I think Hillary or Biden or Cruz or anybody else chosen by the voters would have made comparable mistakes just as all those European bureaucrats made comparable mistakes.

    Large governments make large mistakes. It is the nature of the beast.

    Trump has made it political. Fox has made it political. The right has made this entirely political. Why do you think Trump made it political? Because he has no idea how to approach this as a real leader should.

    WRONG.

    It’s democrats who made this political. They decided to assault Trump for his travel bans which we now know were needed. They claim he didnt take it seriously when he took action long before any of them did. All they have done is make it political.

    Turnabout is fair play. And Trump has done a good job.

    Sadly, if the economy is in total collapse, many would wish they had died of the Chinese virus.

    Here is one for you, it's easy to sit there on your soapbox and judge him with the benefit of hindsight. But you wont judge your own side, for the crap they said, some time back. Nope, that would require the ability to lay the partisan blinders, off.

    Had Trump told people to go visit chinatown on February 4th, you would have had a lot more to say than "He was foolish, congrats on your sucessful, whataboutism" and we both know it. Carry on with your rants, I've other things to do.

    And trump did everything right when he said that the virus was completely under control - multiple times - over the course of six weeks...including for 2-3 days in a row after the first confirmed case of community spread.

    I am not judging him harshly through the lens of hindsight.

    I am judging him harshly because his statements were ****ing dumb and wrong/outright lies when he made them.
