    1. I'm not a trump fan
    2. I never claimed to be a patriot
    3. You posted opinion articles from far left publications

    Posting facts? I don't think so.

    The biggest thing I've seen change in Trump is his demeanor. He is much more presidential than at anytime in his history. That was his biggest weakness and now it's turning into a strength during this crisis.

    Yep me, and the 60% who approve of his handling of C19. Hands down the biggest challenge a POTUS has had in the last 30 plus years, if not longer.

    And the only standing between him and 4 more, Joe Biden.

    It's like a early Mike Tyson fight, and Trump is Mike. You knew how it was gonna end, you just hoped that maybe it would last at least one round so the $29.95 you spent on Pay Per View was not a complete watse.

    Our political Left is panicking because while their politically loyal media outlets do absolutely nothing but criticize Trump and disseminate fake news about him in regards to the China Virus responses the citizens can both see and hear the nature of Trump's responses and are satisfied that this president is doing everything possible at this time. They are affronted that the nation does not blindly gulp down anti-Trump political propaganda by the pitcher full and demand that Trump metaphorically be marched before a firing squad and executed for the sin of not being . . . a . . . leftist.

    Trump is busting his ass to limit the damage done by the virus. People see that, in spite of the msm’s “orangeman bad” campaign.

    Don't count on it.

    Between now and November is practically a lifetime. The one thing without fail, Trump will cause another kerfuffle. And there will be countless more polls.

    You have to listen to Trump and rush to the churches to celebrate Easter.

    Because the cure is far worse than the disease.

    Even if for some reason you're limiting it to domestic enemies, the DNC doesn't include the leftist media.
    Somebody hit you with a cattle prod? :wink:

    What will carry it for Trump is the timing of C19. As we clear thru the worst of it in April into May we will see the economy open in early May. Then start to hit a recovery stride in Jun & July. By Aug - Sept even though the economy will be ugly it will be much better than the previous months. By Oct - Nov and the approaching holidays people will be focused on how do we fully "fix" the economy to what it was before C19. And who's economy was that ? Trump's economy.

    Rather you agree with it being his or not the majority of America gives credit and blame to the POTUS for the economy. So they will choose Trump to "get it back" into the shape it was in.

    What is Biden going to offer to counter that? The New Green Deal?

    I posted factual articles from an unbiased source, a centrist/left source, and a centrist/right source, all of which are in agreement on those facts. Please prove any of their facts wrong, or admit that you simply don't like the message. You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

    you posted a **** article from the guardian which is a far left anti trump rag.
    in that horrible article they attempt to paint trump as unprepared for this pandemic..

    DUH!!!! no one was prepared!!! no one could have been prepared unless they made preparing for the theoretical pandemic the nations number one priority.

    every government agency claims to be underfunded and unprepared well bologna. government agencies are trying to do too much and pay their people too much and therefore run out of money...
    This article is a piece of **** by a piece of **** organization talking half truths and trying to smear the president with them. just like the left has been doing since day one of his presidency. I don't like the guy but the left including you are treating him unfairly and yes doing a disservice to your country regardless how you feel yourself to be.


    As for your fact check.org article about chloroquine.... Hospitals around the country are stocking up on the stuff and are using it to treat covid19 patients and it is going into hospital playbooks.. so factcheck.org can shove that little bit of fake news where the sun don't shine...

    and then the Chicago whatever the hell.. meaningless rag... you know who has spread misinformation about covid 19???? EVERYBODY!!! why??? because we know very little about it and what we learn changes every day..

    so um yeah the facts you posted??? complete garbage and totally debunked..

    Your sources are not solid.. of course i am angry, people lie to the world and are accepted as news. People are using lies to try to destroy our countries leadership during a national emergency.

    It's not a matter of opinion that's what is occuring.

    As a society, we've made the choice to save lives and have millions lose their businesses, jobs, homes, etc.

    And yet in politics there is often an array of facts from which to choose.

    "Trump has never been worse — but his approval is surging, why?"

    he still has less than 50% approval, so not even all of his own party, but many on the right will support him no matter what and as we go to the election, they will hold their noses and say they support him more than they do
