    You reported me for what? No one has attacked you. This is a debate forum. You invented a false argument with me and I called you on it.

    What argument? And yes you did and I’m not saying anyone but YOU did. For some reason you took offense to a plea I made without any malice to anyone. It was an unprovoked attack and uncalled for.

    Also asked you to stop and you continue a personal attack.

    So this is what you do when a debate isn't going your way?

    What’s there to debate? All I did was make a plea. Sorry it offended you, but that’s not a normal reaction to a normal plea @Louisiana75. To be fair I’m at a total loss at how you could object at all.

    Tell us EXACTLY how the OP and the cited article make it appear that Trump is encouraging people with the virus to go to work? They said people with the virus CAN go to work, which is in line with Trump's actual quote.

    He didn't and neither did the OP and the cited article claim that he did.

    So why did you claim he did? Why are you spreading misinformation?

    This same idiot president also said that people who are infected should still go to work. What a freaking idiot. I continue to be baffled how smart intelligent people support this sham of a man, and criminal to boot.

    I guess some posters are just late to the party. You might want to read the thread.

    Except that Trump didn't use the word 'can'.

    Why do you think that the author of the article used words that Trump didn't?

    FYI: the word 'can' is commonly used in the context of giving permission.

    Also:

    If I had the motivation, I would count the number of times the word 'suggest' is used in the article. That use is a glaring red flag of fake news. What business is it, of the writer, to tell us how to interpret Trump's words? Trump never 'suggested' anything. Why does the author tell us that he did?

    Stop accusing me of something that I didn't do. Here is what I said:

    "Tell us EXACTLY how the OP and the cited article make it appear that Trump is encouraging people with the virus to go to work? They said people with the virus CAN go to work, which is in line with Trump's actual quote."

    Now, tell me how what I said implies that Trump is encouraging sick people to go to work. I didn't say it, the OP didn't say it, the cited article didn't say it. However, you, and the other posters accusing people of lies, continue to accuse people of actually saying it. What is wrong with you? Do you actually not read the posts before you accuse people of something that is not true?

    Oh, now we are down to the interpretation of the word "can"? I tell you what, since Trump said that people go to work who are infected, doesn't that mean they "can" go to work? Because if the "can't" go to work, they clearly wouldn't be going to work. This is getting silly, I don't even know why I am discussing such silly stuff. Oh, I remember, it's because people are accused of lying when they didn't lie. Somehow, I like to defend the truth.

    P.S.: Why don't you tell us what YOU think Trump's words meant?

    Thanks, and good for you, it takes guts to admit this. I wish more posters had the guts to apologize. Peace.

    Just to be clear:

    Are you claiming that this is a pointless thread, based on a meaningless article, about some innocuous comments that Trump made?
