    I am very much willing to justify the statement, but I don't have time to list every single **** up of donald trump, so I am merely asking you to focus my discussion down to a single topic.

    I’m assuming;

    Some hospitals have already converted some of their intensive care units to ICU’s.

    Some hospitals have already requested additional nurses.

    Some hospitals have canceled/postponed several elective surgeries.

    Some hospitals have transferred some Covid19 patients to other hospitals.

    Some Hospitals are at 100% capacity

    Some Hospitals are near 100% capacity

    Once again, we have no official reports, however, most likely, it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

    Take your best shot, you're the one that sees all his evil doings. Name some, other than that he gave all of us the coronavirus. Biden is on that one pretty hard.

    So then it's the end of the world? I've heard rumors of that, saw a guy this morning carrying a sign in big letters said REPENT but I just thought he was a screwball. Maybe Houston can stick some of the covid patients in the nursing homes, that worked so well in NYC.

    Quote; So then it’s the end of the world?

    It’s the beginning of a déjà vu.

    Examples of a déjà vu

    Number of daily cases, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1,000+

    Number of hospitalizations; 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35000, 40,000+

    Number of daily deaths; 200, 400, 600, 800, 1,000 +

    Alright, this is a non-exhaustive list of Trump and his administration ****ing up on the virus handling/

    Trump spent a great deal of time, in the beginning when it was the most critical, praising China for their response to the virus. His advisors were quite concerned that he was being too lenient on China.

    After Trump initiating the partial travel ban from China, he repeatedly lied about the virus - saying things like, "it will go away one day like a miracle" and "people say it will disappear in April" and saying things like "we are not worried about a pandemic at all."

    Trump repeatedly downplayed the threat of the virus saying things like, "people can still go to work" and "this virus is completely harmless for 99%" and "we shut it down very quickly."

    Trump touted the benefits of the virus by saying things like, "I like the fact that Americans will spend their vacation money in the US because of the virus."

    Trump repeatedly lied about the testing by saying things like, "anyone who wants a test can get a test and the tests are perfect like the transcript was perfect." He refused to ramp up test production because he was worried about the impacts of confirmed numbers on his re-election. His CDC was slow to provide tests and refused, for weeks, to permit the States to obtain their own.

    Trump repeatedly disputed and contradicted public health experts like when he said "I don't think an outbreak is inevitable" immediately after the public health expert said an outbreak was inevitable and saying "I disagree with Fauci, I think we are in a good place" just yesterday.

    Trump repeatedly attacked Governors and Mayors for being insufficiently appreciative of the federal government response and engaged in misogynystic and political attacks by doing things like saying "that female governor of michigan" instead of just using her name.

    Trump refuses to wear a mask despite the fact that doing so could very well influence millions of Americans to do the proper thing. Trump holds large in door rallies despite it violating every single CDC guidelines. Trump moved convention locations because the NC governor refused to promise that he could fill up the entire venue.

    I can keep going if you like.

    Dude. I already told you that I was only going to focus on one subject for the post because I don't have time to list all of his **** ups.

    If your best response is, "I know you don't like Trump, so I am not going to address any of the **** ups related to the virus," then you have a **** response.

    So literally, your OP makes a claim that isn't supported by ANY of the data. And the beat goes on from the left. Bang a drum no one else is listening to. Spread the fear. Even though it is entirely unjustified and unsupported.

    Young people have refused social distancing. How is that Trumps fault?

    We have tested more people than any other country which finds asymptomatic cases other countries would be blind to so of course we lead the world in diagnosed Covid cases

    Wearing mask is the answer? Why not open up economies with a mask requirement then? They were shoulder to shoulder shouting and screaming which is not good either.

    I asked you
    Compared to who else? What should have been done different that was known AT THE TIME? How would it have been handled better with what was known at the time and be specific don't just make these empty statements because you hate the President.

    Smoke and guesses. Period. There is absolutely no way to validate this, or otherwise check their methodology to see if their numbers were accurate. It's disgusting for folks to lead with fear these days. And why does it matter in the first place? The point of the efforts wasn't ever going to stop the spread, it was simply to make the impact less impactful for the medical services so as not to overwhelm them. And now? This is just badgering to incite a ridiculous straw man into a conversation that doesn't need it.

    Why are you avoiding my question?
    He issued the travel ban.
    He set up the task force made up of the best and brightest we have.
    He expedited and fast tracked testing and vaccine research
    He worked with major industries to get PPE lines up and running and ventilator production
    And I could go on

    And yet we are the absolute worst Country in handling this pandemic. Why do you think that is? If Obama was President, you would be calling him a failure for handling this the way Trump has.

    Why did you just fabricate that intentional untruth?

    Got a link to Biden letting everyone around the world coming into the country?

    27% in one I heard about. But that may have been the increase that took them from 70% to 97% capacity, because I can't believe they didn't have any before that.

    Because it was your Covidiot-in-Chief's RESPONSIBILITY to convince them to COMPLY with Social Distancing just as every other head of state in nations that have managed to control the spread of the virus have successfully managed to accomplish.

    Why is Benedict Donald so INCOMPETENT that he cannot achieve what other leaders have done?

    Zero credible evidence supports that bovine excrement allegation.
