Majority of Americans now say they approve of Trump's handling of coronavirus: poll

Now that's interesting. A world wide flu pandemic occurs on Trump's watch along with the cratering of the nation's economy and yet still the average citizen purports to approve of this president's handling of this extended emergency.

I suspect that it's because people can see and hear that he is doing his very best for them without dragging political ideology into it. The Dem Party response from their leadership, on the other hand, has essentially been one of politics as usual -- Nancy Pelosi trying to stuff a relief bill full of abortion funding, Biden calling Trump racist for naming it the China Virus, and so forth and so on.

Still one has got to wonder if Trump will remain that popular once the economic consequences of this nationwide panic crashes home in regards to people's pocket books and jobs.

He will be judge on his this ends, not how it began. If it ends well it could get him re-elected

Lincoln was on the War Between The States which started very badly for the Union.


FDR was on WWII which also started badly for the US.

 

I agree. This is Trump's first true test of leadership. So far he's doing pretty good by consistently selecting what seems to be the best of nothing but bad options. I have no idea if he is going to be able to continue dealing with this national disaster in an intelligent manner or if he's eventually going to fall flat on his face. We shall have to wait and see.

 

The approval rating is because the death toll is still low the next few days to weeks may shift that. I sincerely hope America dodges this bullet, I really really do but it is not looking good for you at the moment

 

Well, so far the self-isolation process seems to be working. But aside from Trump a great deal of credit needs to go to state governors as well. Even inside the United States people seem to forget that for the most part the federal government advises but it's the state government that enacts so far as health issues are concerned. Trump would have to declare martial law in order to over rule them to any significant degree.

 

Can you name me one President who's been re-elected in the middle of a recession?

 

That is both a negative and a positive

I sincerely hopes this works out but it will need leadership and I simply have no faith in someone who would use a sharpie to alter a weather map

 

Trump gets 5 stars from me right now, the complainers have been complaining for 3 years and just dont know how to stop, it's an addiction, might be worse than crack.

Hes on top of things the best he can be considering everything going on.

Good Job sir.

 

Does this include Trump's administration? (it has to)

Defense Secretary Esper on China's handling of coronavirus outbreak: 'They need to be more transparent'

Seriously? Who the hell does he think we're dealing with?
Someone is clueless as to how Communist DICTATORSHIPS work.

We need a qualified defense secretary.
God help us if this is the pervasive attitude in the Trump administration.

 

First, Planned Parenthood offers healthcare services other than abortions (talk about playing politics).

Trumps in his usual pass the buck mode looking for someone/anyone to deride. His pressers are politics as usual so apparently his doesn’t have the capacity to act in any other manner.

 

Or...because playing "politics" is such a difficult game......
Perhaps he's doing his best to appease as large a group as possible. remember, this is an election year.

Many forget that Trump is only a Republican because it was the way to get elected in 2016. He's got Conservative values but he might be more of a conservative Democrat than a hard core Republican. Remember his stance in 2017 on gun rights after the Parkland shooting? Also, he was a NewYork Democrat for most of his life.

 

It's good that most Americans are ignoring the LW Noise Machine which has only been interested in trying to score political points out of the WuFlu. No doubt, a lot of Americans are turned off by that unseemly behavior.

As to your last point, reasonable people recognize that there's going to be an economic downturn and Trump is doing what he can to alleviate its impact on people. There's only so much government can do.

 

People know that it's been the leftist controlled Mainstream Media urging the nation to panic. I think that when all is said and done the nation is going to end up punishing the political Left for their role in both crashing the stock market and making people panic over . . . toilet . . . paper.

 

We've been through worse. We'll get through this...

 

For sure. But will we get through Democrat policies in the long run?

 

I think you're right. A lot of people I've spoken with see exactly what's been going on there and they're pretty hot about it.

 

In the end, what's important to me and I hope other Americans is how we deal with China after this crap is over. We absolutely must end our over-reliance on China and fundamentally change how we deal with Chairman Mao 2.0 and the rest of the ChiCom scum in Beijing.

 

I will say as a Republican I've been impressed with NY and California's governors as well. Both have been open, honest and have put politics aside for the good of the people. This virus is apolitical and that's how the majority of our leaders are acting and that's a great thing.

 

I agree. I think that the governors of most states have been doing an outstanding job with this response to the pandemic.

 

FDR.

Can you name me one President who's been defeated during wartime?

 

I'll say also as a Republican our Dem governor has been doing a good job, despite relatively few cases she is taking it very seriously.

 

Excellent analysis. The only thing that matters is the ending of this chapter of history.

 

No.

A little history lesson, free of charge.

FDR was elected in 1933, right in the middle of the Depression. He defeated Hoover, who was president from 1929 to 1933.

Roosevelt was re-elected because his New Deal worked.

You know, the New Deal, massive state investment in the economy... something Republicans hate, I hear.

 

This is unlike any election in modern history. I think the past is not a accurate was to predict the future in this case. Even the state of the economy will be fully linked to C19.

Right or wrong Trump will get the blame or the credit oh how this ends. And that very well might sway the election.

 

No President is to blame for an economic crisis. It is a matter of the cycle much more than of political decisions.

Although Trump has indebted the country like none of his predecessors, at the same time reducing the room for a bailout plan.

This will be his legacy to future generations: a gigantic debt.

Anyone who thinks the voters are going to forgive him about that is sadly mistaken.
