    What? English is not your 1st language? What is it you fail to grasp?

    15 didn't go to ZERO? 15 went to over 110,000?

    Yeah, back in 2001 it's a shame G.W. stepped on the toes of New York's Governor and handled the matter when the towers were taken down on 9-11. :)

    Yes, we ended up in a war with the wrong people and we have wasted millions of lives, mostly innocent, and trillions of dollars...

    Okay now I know what you're talking about. More testing reveals more cases that's usually the case with a pandemic. Most of those cases are in three states, NY, CA, and WA. Damn what are you Democrats doing wrong?

    Post a document that says the federal government takes over the states. I've been through such emergencies all my life living in hurricane country, the federal government supports the states and local authorities it does not direct their efforts. Why do you think it is mayors and governors issuing shutdown and stay at home orders?

    He delayed the response for months downplaying the Trump-45 virus and giving 18 tons of PPEs and other equipment to CHINA in Feb when he already knew we would need it here.
    Explain why he gave away to CHINA 18 tons of equipment American hospitals would need!

    Not a Dem. Don't know what they're doing, nor do I live in any of those places.
    You realize, not being a Repub, doesn't automatically make one a Dem. This is not a BINARY world we live in.

    Oh give us a break if he hadn't helped out other countries you'd be complaining about that/

    "The United States government sent nearly 17.8 tons of donated medical supplies to China—including masks and respirators—almost three weeks after the first case of the coronavirus was reported in the state of Washington. "
    https://www.motherjones.com/coronav...even-as-senators-warned-of-virus-threat-here/

    One semi-trailer can haul 30 tons and you are claiming this made the virus Trump's fault?

    "On Wednesday, the Trump administration asked the international community for donations of equipment, including N-95 masks, gloves, respirators, and hand sanitizer. But even as his officials ask for foreign aid, as CNN points out, Trump has a very different public message. As he boasted during Tuesday’s coronavirus briefing at the White House: “We should never be reliant on a foreign country for the means of our own survival.”"
    https://www.motherjones.com/coronav...even-as-senators-warned-of-virus-threat-here/

    Trying to stop it in China from spreading anymore seems a pretty prudent GLOBAL response but you want to attack Trump on it?

    Pompeo tweeted about the USA sending personal protective equipment to China on Feb 7. The State Dept also has a memo posted on its .gov website proclaiming it sent out 18 tons of PPE to China.

    You can not name a time that the President of our country did not 'step up' when the security of the American people was threatened. If you've been paying attention you'll notice it's just been the last few days that trump appears to be trying to act presidential. His best effort is pathetic.

    But they don't take over the operations of the states and the governors and mayors except if your name is Blanco or Nagan. How is running the response in NYC di Blasio or Trump? How about California Newsome or Trump? The Federal Government assist states and local governments. Nothing the he could do would rise above pathetic to you.

    The CDC was calling in influenza because Trump told them too? China was still trying to deny it.

    My sources are not considered to be biased and they all corroborate each other.

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/

    "Factual reporting: HIGH"

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/factcheck/

    "Factual Reporting: VERY HIGH"

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/chicago-tribune/

    "Factual reporting: HIGH"

    Biased, my butt. I gave you one center left source, one "leased biased" source, and one center right source. Instead of doing your own research, or actually provided proof that anything my sources printed was wrong, you attack the whole with no reasoning or logic simply because you don't like the message. If the truth hurts, it must be true ...

    Care to try again, or are we done here?

    Ironically, it is because the populace recognizes the severity of the crisis concerning which he has been in denial.

    In a time of national emergency, the nation seeks cold comfort in whatever simulation of leadership is available, however woefully inadequate.

    It will get him more votes in November. That is a good thing coming out of this mess.

    Meanwhile Joe B is playing his Atari 2600 in his basement trying to beat his Frogger score.

    Ol' Joe is Biden his time, as Fake Don seals his own fate.

    For a time of crisis, Trump's bump is as puny as his hands compared to prior POTUSs.

    Trump's creeping up in polls is disproportionality due to non-voters. All of the groups that Trump rose the most with are the ones that are the least likely to be registered voters.
