    Horse pucky.

    In April of 2018, the NSC’s Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, a network of experts that formed a pandemic response team that the Obama administration created, were fired and the entire response network was demolished. Trump may not have fired them personally (reports claim it was Bolton reorganizing the NSC), but he should have noticed their sudden absence.

    Then there's the pandemic "playbook" that the same team created in 2016, that the Trump administration chose to ignore:

    Hindsight is 2020. Youre just being divisive and destructive to America. You are hurting America. But i am not suprised. The only thing that gives the left power it lying about America, American values..

    The left is debunked...

    "
    While Democrats in March attack President Donald Trump for not doing enough to end the coronavirus epidemic, the same Democrats were bashing the president’s decision to ban travel from China in January.
    In January, President Trump banned all foreign nationals who were in China during the time of the coronavirus outbreak from entering the United States. Many pundits and health experts have since credited this decision with helping to slow the coronavirus pandemic on American shores.


    However, at the time former vice president Joe Biden railed against the decision.

    During a campaign rally, Biden said that “In moments like this, this is where the credibility of a president is most needed, as he explains what we should and should not do.”

    “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia, hysterical xenophobia, to uh, and fear mongering,” Biden continued."
    https://nationalfile.com/flashback-...chinese-coronavirus-travel-ban-as-xenophobia/

    "On ABC News "This Week" on Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health, indicated that the Trump administration's early decision to ban most travel from China slowed the spread of the Wuhan flu in the United States. Of course, the president was criticized six weeks ago when he made that decision, but that is all too unfortunately to be expected when it comes to Donald Trump and immigration."

    In times like these people WANT to approve of leadership.

    After 911 Bush's approval went to something like 95%

    The fact that Trump's approval only went up a couple points says volumes

    Baloney the only ones who could bring an impeachment including a fallacious one was the Democrats led by Pelosi and Schiff and Nadler and they did it while the WH was facing a global pandemic and then they complained his travel bans were xenophobic.

    I think this is the far lefts doing, Pelosi scummy though she is never would have pursued such a flimsy impeachment unless she felt like she could do without the far left.

    Based on the talks i have with people daily
    They don't like Trump. But they are sick and tired of Congress and the political assassination attempts by the media.

    He is showing leadership. Maybe he is making mistakes but he is leading. Remember Benghazi, Obama hid in his bedroom, and Hillary hid under a desk. they did nothing, at least Trump is out front.

    One quit the others were rolled back into NSA and all the functions exist today and it had no effect on our efforts to combat this. Obama's move was a typical leftist, OH WE SCREWED UP LET"S CREATE A NEW DEPARTMENT THEN. It was redundant and put a layer of insulation between those efforts and or national security.

    We're dealing with a "man" who has admitted to feeling threatened just to hear his own words quoted back to him, who thinks it should be illegal for people to quote him directly if it makes him look bad, and who can't even bring himself to be truthful during crisis . . . while also holding a grudge against those who are truthful. And he's playing favorites when it comes to dispensing much needed equipment.

    His incompetence was cute and entertaining before. There is no excuse for it now.

    He's very sensitive to the suffering of the Americans.

    That's why he brags about the ratings of his press briefings.

    A president can't afford to be "sensitive". I want the president to be an utterly cold blooded ruthless individual with no regard for the suffering of those under them.

    Man, long road ahead after November for the left. Having to accept him for 4 more years as their President. That’s a tough pill to swallow.

    Certainly stupidity could be an issue, but it seems to be heavily concentrated among the Fake News Media and anti-Trumpers.

    Majority back ‘full national shutdown,’ while Trump’s approval up with blacks and Hispanics: Poll.

    Even before President Trump floated the idea Saturday of a regional quarantine around New York City, the public signaled support for a national “shutdown” and continued to back his powerful leadership fighting the coronavirus, according to the latest survey on the crisis.

    A majority, 52%, support a “full national shutdown” that would require everyone but essential workers to stay at home, according to McLaughlin & Associates. “Sentiment for a national shutdown prevailed over every region of the country,” said the firm, which also polls for the president’s campaign.

    The support is broad: “In urban areas they favor shutdown 52%-40%; suburban areas 49%-41% and in small town/rural areas 57%-30%. Voters under 55 years old preferred the shutdown 55%-38% and voters over 55 years preference for shut down fell to 47%-39%,” said the analysis.

    Voters also strongly support Trump's actions so far. The McLaughlin poll is the latest of several that show the public believes Trump is handling the crisis well. The Fake News Washington Post nearly died when they found that voters, 47%-43%, trust Trump more than 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to “handle” the crisis.

    [​IMG]

    Voters overall approve of the president’s virus job. 53% support it, 44% of Hispanics, 34% of African Americans, and 55% in battleground states.

    The president’s job approval rating has popped to 51% in 2020 battleground states and that his approval rating among blacks has nearly tripled.

    The White House war on the virus and Trump’s effort to reform and update how the bureaucracy is responding has fed support for changing Washington. Said the analysis:

    “The current coronavirus national emergency is renewing powerful support for President Trump’s message to change Washington. The number of voters who want the president to continue to fight to change Washington has increased to 56% saying yes vs. only 32% who say no. Republicans give the president near unanimous support for changing Washington 90%-5%. Independents want change 50%-32%, and 28% of the Democrats support change. Among Hispanic voters 43% want change and among African American voters 35% want the president to change Washington.”​

    He has a mandate

    Trumps daily press briefing showed America he was on top of things which is why the media stopped showing them.

    Wow, that's very personal, Robert. I'm hurting America? All I'm doing is presenting facts and expressing my opinions about those facts. It seems like instead of trying to refute those facts, you're lashing out at those who present them. I'm guessing that because those facts are irrefutable, that's all you have.

    I'm every bit as patriotic as you or anyone else, Robert. If my values aren't American values, no one's are, including yours. I'm sorry that your hero, Trump, is undeserving of your admiration, but truth is truth. You're shooting the messenger.
