    thank you for admitting it was not a travel ban, travel was still allowed, just not for Chinese nationals - Trump allowed travel to and from China during this outbreak instead of shutting it down

    doesn't Trump, why would he not let the doctor answer questions, why was Trump silencing the doctor

    sadly Trump requires them to praise him daily, it's sad - trump is a narcissist with a fragile ego

    did other counties do a total ban, or partial ban like Trump?

    What's irrational is you thinking he's playing the race card.

    He does believe him. They get along great and he has not silenced the doctor on anything.

    proof that he requires them to?

    Countries followed his lead and banned travel from the Chinese. Some far to late though

    Tell the people that were refused entry into our country that it wasn't a travel ban. It was a travel ban on an unprecedented level.

    But it wasn't called a country ban, it was called a "travel" ban. Except travel wasn't banned, was it? In fact thousands of people have TRAVELED to and from China since Jan 31.

    But you knew that, didn't you?

    Hey I know, how about a travel ban? It's too late now however.

    Very good! Would you call that a travel ban? Now I'm clearly naive, but if you told me travel was banned to a location I'd think you meant that I could not travel there.

    Yes are you suggesting Trump should not have let American Citizens come back?

    No, but I think they should have been required to be quarantined in a government facility before re-entering the public. Banning forns probably helped to some extent in slowing the initial surge but it was not nearly enough.

    Of course I'd call it a travel ban as it was a ban on their travel. Yeah I think you're trying to find something that isn't actually there.

    If there's a membership ban on women at a good ol' boys club, it is still a membership ban even though they allow men to join. The term ban does not connote absolute.

    I've already said many times that US citizens could travel between US and China. Still not a ban on flights between the US and China!

    You are wrong. Full stop. There was no travel ban per se as TRAVEL was not banned, it was only limited. This is not really debatable. You should ask yourself why you have such a burning need to defend that fat, lying POS.

    edit: you do understand that the word travel (you know - the thing that was banned) does not imply any subset of humans, right?

    Oh dear lord. So we should blame the “Chiners”, all the while letting anyone from china, as long as they weren’t Chinese into the country.

    WOW

    Have they closed the border in Mexico? The answer is no. “Non-essential” travel is closed. Which means we’re still letting day workers over.

    So yes......we still are letting them come here to infect our population

    A total lack of leadership ?

    That would be as hard to pull off just as
    perfect leadership would be

    The truth , if truth interests us is in between a total lack and perfect.

    Seems many times thaythat trumps lack of interest in truth is only exceeded by his haters who at minimum must live by hyperbole .

    Trump better start using a mask . Boris Johnson is now in IC U . With a chance his run is over with.

    Of course trump is probably the most secured person against this this most effective bio weapon designed to take down an economy . Much more effective than economic sanctions that we wage war with .

    We are letting trade through.. Your evidence that we are letting "day workers" over?
