    Odd choice for your party's presidential nominee. You guys pretend to support women and then nominate a sexual predator/rapist. Wonder how that'll play out with women.

    I'm not 'applauding' it. But he certainly has an obligation to defend himself against the lies of fake news.

    I agree with these sentiment. Nearly everyone made mistakes in attempting to stop this virus. That's why we are in a global pandemic.

    But trump's mistakes were undeniable mistakes when he made them, even without the benefit of hindsight.

    What lies? No one said that he did nothing, they said he didnt do enough. That is objectively true. No one said that every choice he made was a mistake. They said he made mistakes. That is objectively true. No one said that he completely and totally dismissed the threat of the virus. They said that he repeatedly dismissed the threat if the virus. That is objectively true.

    And even if you think that calling out the "lies of his critics" is fair game, why the **** does he need to do it personally or during the pandemic update press conference?

    Attempting to stop the spread of panic is absolutely the right thing to do. Yes. While also taking action, which he did.

    You're right. It's Joe Biden- the guy you voted for. Sexual predator/rapist that your party decided should be its leader

    Telling an explicit lie and failing to properly warn the country is a piss poor way of stopping the spread of panic.

    Personally, I would have preferred that he worked harder on stopping the spread of infections and death.

    It wasn’t a lie, he has done a great job and made sure no one has been completely overwhelmed by providing them what they request quickly and easily. Even Cuomo had to admit this.

    The only actions taking to lessen the spread, was taking by Trump within the first weeks. He led the charge here.

    "We are doing a great job if we keep the number of dead at or below 100,000"

    Just...so great.

    How many deaths would there have been if Hillary were elected? How many deaths would there have been if you were President?

    About the same, I would think. Things are looking a lot better than the 2 to 3 million deaths projected back in Feb.

    You think Trump's mistakes were "obvious." I can't imagine what you mean. It looks to me like everyone was caught flat-footed except maybe a few Asian countries which were hit badly by SARS and were more prepared and alert than we in the West who had been spared.

    How high the numbers were originally? More than 1500+ Americans have died every single day over the last 8 days in a row.

    America now holds the top 8 slots for single day deaths.

    Canada and Australia have shown a tremendous ability to limit infections. Germany has shown a tremendous ability to limit deaths.

    And Japan is getting wrecked by this virus.
