    Straw man. You are asking me to produce evidence that he supports the restrictions. I never said that he has done so.

    I am challenging the lie that is being spread on this forum that he opposed the restrictions or that he called them racist or xenophobic

    He was warning Trump not to react in a xenophobic way. Which Trump promptly did by calling it the China virus.

    Nothing you said contradicts what I said.

    I think it shows how well he listens to experts. Generals or otherwise.

    And that has absolutely nothing to do with the OP or my response to it.

    But hey, thanks for chiming in.

    “Presidents during wartime hand over the decisions to their actual generals, they don't direct operations themselves you know.”

    do presidents who think they know more than the generals hand it over? Clearly not since he’s pardoning people against the wishes of...the generals. We seem the same behavior with his talk of opening things up before Easter.

    Under Trump's inept leadership, one national pandemic has become 50 separate epidemics, with no central control over any.

    Please have a look, starting at around 56:40. I'm happy that they've brought in experts to deal with the transport/import of PPE, it was only through media questioning that Pence's assertions were clarified. These products are brought in to private companies who then sell it to the hospitals/states. If one only listened to Pence, they would believe that 200,000 masks were being delivered to hospitals in new york in the next 24 hours. Alas - untrue. Trump's 'we're only back up' stance leaves governors bidding against one another AND the federal government for supplies. Fine in normal capitalistic situations - but that isn't the case now!

    What is it you think federalism is???

    Nothing Trump does will ever extract him from incessant criticism by some.

    No, it is the governors' responsibility to care for their states. They are not wartime front lines under the command of the president but calamity first responders. That is at least what they are supposed to be, but now in many instances they are just boo-birds in the peanut gallery.

    Dude just stop, your fake outrage isn't fooling anyone... When Trump was making the calls, you people said he was doing terrible and killing people. When Trump lets the states decide, you people say he's doing terrible and killing people.

    Have you ever taken the time to sit back and watch how ridiculously hypocritical your people sound every time they talk about Trump? Now y'all want to push another false narrative to drive another impeachment witch hunt when the same people driving the hunt were the ones who controlled the congress and white house in 2009 when 61 million caught a virus and not a single thing was done for months.

    Just stop.

    These people never listen to Trump anyway, now they want to complain when they have the freedom to do as they wish.

    Trump: Hey states, do your job.
    States: But, we're incompetent.

    Biden? The same guy who wouldn't support busing of little black kids? Warning someone not to be xenophobic?

    I never said he spoke in support of the restrictions (although he did say they might slow the spread of the virus, so that can be taken as support) so I don’t need to prove it.
    Others have said he called the restrictions racist or xenophobic. He didn’t. Anyone who claims he did is lying.

    Private Bonespurs' belatedly-acknowledged "war" is distinguished by his unique self-proclaimed approach to leadership that stands in stark contrast to Carl von Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, and others.
