    Perhaps. Either way, we will have an elderly sex offender with trouble speaking in the WH.

    Trump is too dumb, and Woodward is too skilled a journalist.

    Woodward even interviewed CIA Director Casey while he was in a coma.
    Woodward is walking miracle! ;-)

    Sorry, but the blame is 100% on Trump. Woodward was collecting all sorts of info besides the Coronavirus. Trump even leaked Top Secret Nuclear weapon info to him. Who knows how many national secrets Trump revealed to people to try to impress them.

    How is releasing a tape of Trump talking, a hit piece?

    The real joke is on the Trumpster who went to his rallies. He knew and knows how aggressive and deadly the virus is and still he coaxed them to come to his rallies, indoor rallies. Had them jump around, jell and scream, standing shoulder to shoulder, played them.
    Knowing that this is what the virus loves.
    I wonder how many he killed, with his rallies.

    And he is still doing it and they love him for that.

    WTF.... That's an impeachable offense. The POTUS basically put us at risk for his reelection chances.
    I guess I'm on Team Biden now, despite still hating everything about the ticket.

    So your claim is that he imitated Trump's voice on the tape? Or what is it?

    ??

    Trump ignored medical science and lied about the seriousness of this pandemic - slowing response.

    In fact, he directly opposed what Fauci said in NUMEROUS public briefings.

    And, he actually wrote executive orders that made his direct opposition to the CDC into LAW.

    There is ZERO possibility of laying this off on China or WHO.

    Trump blocked the advice of medical science over and over again, and the result is that Americans died.

    Trump failed to use the powers he has as president to ensure that hospitals had needed supplies. In fact, his FEMA stole supplies that hospitals had purchased, interdicting those shipments.

    More recently, Trump has refused to work on increasing our testing capacity as would be necessary to carry out the plan for opening our economy that was created by the executive branch, including CDC and industry leaders - the plan that sits on whitehouse.gov, totally ignored by the White House.

    Trump has continued to work to slow data on COVID spread, which impairs response.

    I'm not a great Biden fan, either.

    But, what's going on today DOES have to end.

    Trump's excuse is that he didn't want to cause panic. But if he acted openly and decisively with the American People there wouldn't have been a need for panic.
    People basically died due to Trump. That's not a talking point anymore, that's just the truth.

    Trump says himself that he knows that the coronavirus will be devastating after discussing it with Xi.

    When he said he would shoot someone in the street and not lose any fans, he was right.

    You're proof of that.

    I am outraged Trump was dumb enough to talk to Woodward. You hear him on tape stating he didn't want to start a panic. He should have known the Pol Pot left would twist this to mean he lied to the American people for nefarious purposes.

    It's entirely possible to be honest and upfront, while not inducing panic. It's called leadership.

    I predicted in another thread that not a single Trump worshiper would care about this. So far, I'm 100% correct. Some of you are even championing him for this, as if it were a gift to the American people.

    Actively not caring if a couple hundred thousand of your fellow citizens die a horrible death, is not leadership. It repulsive.

    This should wake up the middle. Biden is bad, but he's not Trump level of bad.

    Its clear now that he owns the 190,000 dead in the country and the hundreds of thousands who will suffer from the aftereffects of the virus.
    By his own words he knew it was 5 times more deadly than the flu, airborne. He still held his rallies, despite what he knew and knows.
    He mocks people who wear a mask. He still calls it the flu.
    He still holds rallies, no masks, no social distancing.
    Biden is wrong, this is not almost criminal, it is criminal.
    Knowingly endangering people and causing some to die or suffer for the rest of their lives from the side effects, shortening their live span is criminal.
    Standing in front of a crowd with a AR and emptying the mag, some will die, some will get wounded and some will get crippled.

    Repulsive is the perfect choice of words. He also had a choice between being a leader or a coward from behind. He chose cowardice, and hence he's not qualified to be POTUS
