    Sure it is, hiding in doors is the very epitome of panic!

    I think the tape that has Trump talking about the economy and stock market is the most illustrative of your point - the fact that the economy was more important to Trump than the lives of Americans.

    As for not wanting to instill panic - that's just BS. If it were true, he wouldn't be stoking panic at every opportunity over the past couple of months.

    And who has? You do realize this pandemic is not just a U.S. concern, right? Is the rest of the world now immune today and have it all under control, as you put it ;)

    Agreed - his panic had nothing to do with the health of Americans...only the health of his re election and his beloved stock market.

    You read it again, try thinking back to how your teachers handled a fire drill, I know the answer will come to you ;)

    Then why didn't Obama and Biden order lock downs during the H1N1 pandemic? Instead of ordering test to be stopped, as 60-90 million Americans caught the virus?

    Clearly Biden can't appropriately handle a pandemic and can't be elected

    The rest of the world's leaders were honest with their people.

    It was calm and orderly. If your experience was different, I'm sure it was only you.

    And how the hell does that support Trump's contention that he did not want to panic us by telling the truth?

    Or, do you concede he is incapable of telling the truth?

    Until he thought he could instill fear in his angry white base with his George Wallace imitation.

    Then, it was full steam ahead with stirring up panic!

    Last night, he denied saying what we have him on tape saying. Not that it matters to him. But it should matter to people.

    The simple word "panic" has been twisted by Trump to mean many different things. And by the way Trump supporters accused Democrats of panicking, apparently Trump's little plan (lie) didn't work.

    Panic means you close the schools.
    Panic means you wear a mask.
    Panic means you hide in your basement.
    Panic means you're too lazy to go off unemployment.

    Panic is whatever Trump says it is, according to his supporters. To me, panic is when I see a kid riding his bicycle into the path of an oncoming car. I panic and grab the bike before he gets into the street. Panic is good.

    You go think about that now and try and grasp the concept of a Leader/Teacher keeping those they are in charge of CALM in the face of an emergency! OH DARN, did I give away the answer :(

    I see the new MSDNC talking points arrived.
    Need to move attention away from the fact Democrats supported rioting and burning and looting, as reflected in the polls - eh?

    If he can't figure out how to tell the truth without stirring up a panic, he doesn't deserve any kind of leadership position. Meanwhile, even that excuse is bull **** because there are very few things Trump loves more than stirring up public panic.

    um the economy effects people's lives...and on the 2.7 when he had this interview with Woodward, we had zero cases in the United States...no reason to panic people, and destroy the economy at that point

    the only panic he has stroke over the past few months is that in the Dems, as they see their election hopes and dreams start to fall to the waste said as their hoaxes continue to be exposed, and their support of radical leftwing terrrorist backfires.

    BIG country, you can't possibly foresee the way they will all react to bad news.. Then again from the desk chair and monitor and keyboard it's pretty easy, right :)
