    The PM of the UK, no doubt is almost as much a moron as Trump! Lucky them that he got to experience his stupidity first hand. But Trump had one advantage that they didn't have. He could see what had already happened in the UK, France and Italy for not preparing (and not having a CDC at their disposal). But instead he was still saying "it's under control"

    His advisors, his staff, the PM of the UK, Italy, Bolsonaro, Pelosi, ...

    Keep going. Who else should have done the job of President instead of the President*?

    What? You haven’t SEEN all of the timeline stories clearly laying it out. Where were you in February and March this year?

    In spite of your efforts to pretend otherwise, I don't believe you are that stupid.

    The PMs of the UK, France and Italy did not take action. They likely got the same information as Trump. Since they did not react, apparently they did not find the situation to be that critical. It is like I imagined earlier, when you are judging someone, it helps to have a standard. You make up an artificially high standard and say he did not meet it. I pick a reasonable standard. That standard being the reactions of other world leaders.

    The moron you have running for president said Trump was over reacting and racist.

    That did not say what the so called expert advisors were saying.

    March 9. at the exact point in time of this tweet, if we would have had a President with an average brain who would have recommended that we shut down as health authorities were recommending to him, estimations are that 36 thousand lives would have been saved!!!

    I am that stupid, and I am also that right!

    Exactly! And that's where OUR strain of the pandemic came from. It didn't come from China. But when it got here it was already a huge epidemic in those countries!

    But not even that moved Trump!

    Got it?

    If you don't... forget it. I'm not holding your hand anymore.

    And yet, we had a considerably lower death rate than those countries. So, in spite of your complaints, we still did a better job.

    I think that Trump has long had a reading problem. When he was running for president, at his rallies, there was repeatedly this guy who stood in the background behind Trump and held up a sign that said “Trump Can’t Read”. There are YouTube clips of him at depositions where the judge is instructing him to read a passage and he either refuses, or struggles. You can see when he is reading off the teleprompter, as he squints and squirms and sometimes stalls.

    He is too vain to wear glasses but there is also a rare obscure dementia that attacks the ability to read and speak. It is very slow and it would not surprise me if Trump had it

    It is called primary progressive aphasia

    How Trump has been treated and represented has never been seen by a Democrat. Not once.

    No Democratic President has ever been as horrible a leader, as horrible a person as Trump is.

    Incompetent? Where have you been for over three years? To much CNN and MSNBC? Just before this virus, we had more people working than at anytime in our history. Blacks and Hispanics had the lowest unemployment in their history. Stock market was the highest in it's history. He ended the longest war in our history. Brought back manufacturing when Obama and economist said they were gone and not coming back. Rose wages higher in his first year than Obama had in his eight years in office. Fixed the VA when Obama and Bush couldn't. But according to the clueless Left, he did nothing.

    MAYBE YOU NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT OBAMA. HIS ECONOMY

    Recovery Has Created Far More Low-Wage Jobs Than Better-Paid ...
    www.nytimes.com/2014/04/28/business/economy/...
    Apr 27, 2014 · Economy Recovery Has Created Far More Low-Wage Jobs Than Better-Paid Ones
    How good were the 10.9 million jobs under Obama?
    Money.CNN.com/2016/11/04/news/economy/jobs-under-obama/...
    Nov 03, 2016 · CNNMoney breaks down what kinds of jobs have been created and ... Almost all of the job gains under President Obama have been in so-called service jobs,

    The deep recession wiped out primarily high-wage and middle-wage jobs. Yet the strongest employment growth during the sluggish recovery has been in low-wage work, at places like strip malls and fast-food restaurants.

    In essence, the poor economy has replaced good jobs with bad ones. That is the conclusion of a new report from the National Employment Law Project, a research and advocacy group, analyzing employment trends four years into the recovery.

    “Fast food is driving the bulk of the job growth at the low end — the job gains there are absolutely phenomenal,” said Michael Evangelist, the report’s author. “If this is the reality — if these jobs are here to stay and are going to be making up a considerable part of the economy — the question is, how do we make them better?”

    The report shows that total employment has finally surpassed its pre-recession level. “The good news is we’re back to zero,” Mr. Evangelist said.

    But job losses and gains have been skewed. Higher-wage industries — like accounting and legal work — shed 3.6 million positions during the recession and have added only 2.6 million positions during the recovery. But lower-wage industries lost two million jobs, then added 3.8 million.
    HTTPS://www.nytimes.com/…/recovery-has-created-far-more-low…



    77 percent of 2013 jobs were part-time positions ...
    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/2/part-timer-nation...
    Aug 02, 2013 · Fully 77 percent of positions added to the market in 2013 have been part-time, in contrast to the positive economic news making the media rounds, according to payroll reports released in recent weeks.

    "There are now 1.2 million fewer jobs in mid- and higher-wage industries than there were before the Great Recession, according to data from the National Employment Law Project. In contrast, there are 2.3 million more jobs in lower-wage sectors than before the recession," according to CNBC. Nor is there the hoped-for renaissance in American manufacturing. We have some 300,000 fewer manufacturing jobs since President Barack Obama took office and 1.5 million jobs below the pre-recession level.

    OBAMA'S MIDDLE EAST POLICY

    I have to wonder what planet Liberals have been living on for the last 8 years to think Obama has done a good job fighting ISIS and keeping us safe. By doing so, he has caused the murder of tens of thousands of others. How intelligent is he when he calls ISIS Jr. Varsity and sits back and allows them to take over almost half of Iraq, doing little to stop them till American heads are chopped off and public pressure made him make token attacks against them? With our planes coming back with 75% if their armaments because of restrictions Obama put on them? How smart is he to think Russia and Iran would stand back and do nothing while he try's to take out Assad, their biggest Allie in the Middle East? How smart is he to take out the government of Libya at a time we never had better relations with them and then just walk away and let it fall to terrorist and ISIS. Who then attacked our embassy and killed the Ambassador and three others? We had no one to call for help for them then. Why didn't he send help, or at least pull them out like most of the other nations did with their embassies? Why didn't he at least call the embassy to see how they were? He knew the country was being over run with terrorist and ISIS. How smart was he to back stab Egypt's President Mubarak? We were only saved from that fiasco by the Egyptian Army. He has most of the Middle East hating him. His actions in the Middle East has caused the death of tens of thousands and caused millions of Muslim refugees and terrorist to invade Europe which will never be the same again. His actions will effect the world forever. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had appealed to the US and the international community for more weapons to help in its fight against pro-Russian ...
    He asked Obama for weapons to defend his country and Obama gave him blankets, uniforms trucks boats and night vision glasses. No weapons. Ukraine President said you can't fight a war with blankets. The man has been a disaster to the world and you people are praising him?

    OR...

    Every time those who voted for him read/hear about such rank incompetence, fecklessness and stupidity on the part of Orange Foolius, they should hang their heads in abject shame.

    YMMV

    Obama never got serious fighting ISIS till his last year in office. Till it was to late, by then damage had already been done. Thousands killed and made homeless. Millions fled to Europe, which will never be the same again.



    The Wall Street Journal reported at the time that “President Barack Obama stuck to his refusal to provide weapons or other lethal military gear to Ukraine.” Why?

    Team Obama feared that lethal aid would provoke Moscow.

    So what did the administration give him? Instead of rocket-propelled grenades, we provided food rations. As one frustrated former Pentagon official put it at the time, “What kind of message does that send anyway?” https://nypost.com/2019/10/09/sorry-joe-team-obama-refused-to-arm-ukraine-at-all/

    If you listen to his speaking at his speeches, which he is reading, I think you have to say he has good reading ability. It's when he is talking to the news and others that he sounds like a 5th grader. But one thing Liberals will never understans is we don't really listen to much of what he says, we look at what he does. Liberals are just the opposite. You take in every word and don't know a thing of all the good things he does. You people are clueless.

    Liberals certainly arrogantly hold their own opinions extremely high up in the pedestal.

    In fact, it's almost a if they can't differentiate their opinion from fact.

    Opinions are like *******s. Everybody has one and they all stink. People need to learn this. Unfortunately, most really progressive liberals are young and were taught that their feelings and opinions are the most important thing and everybody gets a trophy.

    So this is what we get. A bunch of people that think their opinions are superior to others.

    The PDB is given to the President, as well as other high ranking officials named by the President. Do you have linked proof that it is screened before he receives it?
