    Were you not aware that the current explosion in cases is prominent in locations that predominantly voted for Trump?

    https://www.npr.org/sections/health...19-leaned-more-toward-trump-in-2020-than-2016

    Statistically, if you were stupid enough to support Trump in October
    You were also stupid enough to go out and get Covid.

    Was it a scientist who ordered the China travel ban?

    He can't do that under a national emergency either, while it would give him more power it doesn't give him all power.

    Even Biden who said he will mandate admits he can't and his mandate requires talking goverors into it. Biden never mentioned using a national emergency lol.

    Moving the goalposts I see. We were taking about self quarantining. Try to stick to the issue at hand k? It was the experts who came up with self quarantining not Trump. You can have your own opinion but not your own facts.

    You must admire Trump to emulate him as you do. Calling others stupid for nor sharing your opinion is very Trump-like of you. Los Angeles is having a spike and there are many more examples. Are they "stupid" in your eyes as well?

    Just stating the facts. Trump ordered a travel ban. It was not the scientists who ordered the travel ban. Trump also ordered those coming from China to be quarantined. It was not a scientist who ordered that quarantine..

    Kinda scares me what this upcoming winter will bring. Biden inheriting the pandemic with massive unemployment, and people who can't afford housing. Talk about timing.

    I have never claimed it was against recommendations. I said he made the decision. The scientists agreed, but it was still Trump's decision.

    I never said anything different. In summary.
    Trump ordered a travel ban from China. There were some exceptions. Those exceptions were put into a voluntary quarantine.

    Scientists never ordered a travel ban from China. They do not have that authority.

    There is nothing in what I said which was different from above in spite of your futile and useless efforts to somehow show me wrong.

    So being told to wash your hands wear a mask social distance 4500 times a day isn't good enough for you? You created a thread full of lies and nonsense totally unconnected to reality. Why am I not surprised. Meetings don't stop diseases. Sorry to bust your bubble bro but all you accomplish by having a lot of meetings is keep people from getting any work done

    Trump only ordered it based on what he was told to do. So I guess if you want to give him a trophy for doing what the experts told him to do then by all means...here you go...:trophy:

    What does that have to do with anything? Look, I get you’re desperate for a win here since it’s been a rough day for you but you look silly. He was told what to do and he acted on what he was told needed to be done. Like I said...give him a trophy for following what the experts told him.

    That is from May my numbers are current and going over them it does seem like yes per capita the infection rates are higher in Trump counties.

    For one thing, not lie.

    I don't know why so many Republicans ask this question as if it weren't easy to answer.

    They died because of the Trump Virus. Again, this thread is not about Covid. It's about the lack of response by this President. So don't start with the "oh... they just say it's the coronavirus" conspiracy theory. It has already been debunked in the Covid forum

    So nothing different other than some words lol. I just read that a bunch of governors told him no on the mask mandate so there is his first broken promise. He is not doing anything differently from Trump in actionable terms and you know it.

    I not interested in your remarks about giving him a trophy.
    Leaders are provided recommendations from subordinates. They do not always follow those subordinates recommendations. That is why there is a leader at the top. Only Trump could make that decision. It was the right decision.

    It is what I have been saying all along. Trump made the decision.

    Precisely, where have I been wrong?
    Your petty insults should end now.

    So those who call Trump a liar trusted him in May? To blame Trump, you would have to show a huge difference in infection rates based on party. Trump had a rose-colored view while others enforced drastic measures. Turns out, neither side knew what the hell they were doing and we have another example of why it is not wise to look to the government for guidance in these times. Its a virus. Those old enough to remember Katrina should know better!

    Huh? So Trump is only the President of Republicans. Who is the President of Democrats, then?

    So the only possible conclusion one can arrive from your post is that you believe that Trump is only the President of Republicans, and that you believe that Covid 19 asks for party affiliation before infecting somebody.

    Any government is better than this one.
