    The more you see liberals blame Trump, the more desperate they seem. They would blame Trump on car accidents if they could.
    Good luck in 2024.

    How lame can you get?

    Trump is "supposed" to be the leader.

    You're right though. He's woefully lacking

    We got through the Great Depression because we had a leader. A President more. Concerned with the country than his perceived ratings

    Sadly we don’t have that now

    But not Americans returning...thousands of whom "self quarantined"

    And not to Europe at ALL until weeks later and THEN not to numerous countries like Bulgaria (huh?) and the UK

    You failed to explain why it diminishes the facts you tried to respond to.

    He was called a racist for banning travel from China. And until January 16 Democrats were totally involved in impeaching Trump and handing out pens. Then they got back to their normal duties of blocking every Trump move possible. About half of them were bidding on his job. Now they are funding artsy fartsy systems and blaming this Chinese virus mess on climate change and we all know Trump did that. Poor climate.

    I don't even know that claim is true but oddly he didn't suspend flights from anywhere else but China until six weeks later.

    -You;re- the one trying to make a point with the facts in question -- if -you- can't tell us why you think he did it, then -you- can't tell us how they are an example of his mishandling of the issue.
    So...?

    I'm so sick and tired of all the apologists for Trump. It is a futile effort to knock any sense into them. Let nature take its course with them, I say.

    No one is apologizing for Trump,for there is no reason to - neither you nor anyone can cite what he should have done differently, or sooner, and why a reason, rational person - without the benefit of hindsight - would expect him to have done so.

    Thank you for demonstrating that neither you nor anyone can cite what he should have done differently, or sooner, and why a reason, rational person - without the benefit of hindsight - would expect him to have done so.
