Welcome to America

"When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total. And that's the way it's got to be. It's total." — April 13

"No, I don't take responsibility at all." — March 13

Seems we have a paradox.


Trump and his cult are probably the first people in history to break a sweat blame shifting. If he had worked as hard heeding the advice of experts he wouldn’t be experiencing joint pain due to finger pointing. Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and others heard about the virus at the time the US did yet they seemed to respond rapidly and effectively to the threat with aggressive testing, acquiring supplies, developing tracking, and containment efforts. Did they know something trump didn’t or did they simply not waste time downplaying the threat with happy talk?

It's non-office holder Joe Biden's fault for saying not nice things about the president.

They bend themselves into pretzels trying to invent an excuse for why the US is so far behind South Korea when when both countries discovered their first domestic cases on the same day. The party of personal responsibility my ass.

Yes, the high ball estimates are an essential worst case prediction. Trump essentially encouraged sick people to go to work, said the 15 cases would come down to zero, and reluctantly got onboard with science based advice. This pandemic could have been stopped dead in its tracks.

Trumpidiots can’t comprehend a number representing deaths taking no action just like they can’t comprehend 30,000 deaths in 6 weeks is not the same as 30,000 deaths in 52 weeks. Mind boggling isn’t it.

It sure could of, if China and WHO told the truth.

That doesn’t explain other countries effective early efforts, ignoring his own advisors and intelligence reports, or excuse his daily barrage of lying bullsht.
He lies to you everyday. Why are your panties not in wad over that?

This should have you pissed. How could so many nations have been more prepared? Maybe the answer is they weren’t they just did a better job.

The United States, which up until the coronavirus pandemic had been rated one of the most-prepared nations to handle a pandemic, currently ranks a dismal 43rd in the world for coronavirus testing, on a per-capita basis. (On Wednesday it was 49th.)

Let’s face it the problem is trump’s mind. He just said it’s ridiculous for the federal government to be testing people in parking lots yet that is exactly one of his unfulfilled promises from just a few weeks ago. Put the man out to pasture.

It sure could of, if China and WHO told the truth.

Regardless of how evil China was during all of this, the President had an opportunity in the fourth quarter with seconds on the clock to do the right thing, and he blew it. Your mention of China is nothing more than a ploy to take the heat off the president for horrendous decision making. He had all the information he needed, yet downplayed the severity, because he didn't want to ruin his reelection chances by hurting the economy. It was only when someone got through to him that his inaction would lead to astronomical death and a ruined economy, he reluctantly opted for a reasonable course of action.

The question is always “ what did the president know and when did he know it?

HE IS LYING! TRUMP KNEW LAST NOVEMBER!

US alerted Israel, NATO to disease outbreak in China in November — report

US intelligence agencies alerted Israel to the coronavirus outbreak in China already in November, Israeli television reported Thursday.

US intelligence informed the Trump administration, “which did not deem it of interest,” but the report said the Americans also decided to update two allies with the classified document: NATO and Israel, specifically the IDF.

Are you saying Nervous Nancy didn’t go to Chinatown on Feb 24th and down play the Coronavirus? According to you, she should of known better. Why would she purposely risk the lives of American citizens

As I said, your comprehension skills are lacking.

Trump
Says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi deleted a video of her telling people to go to Chinatown.

trump said “you have states without any problem." He added that some states are "at a point where there is almost nothing" in terms of coronavirus cases, and that "you have states with few cases and those few cases have healed."

Naturally he’s lying.

It's not true that some states currently don't have "any problem" related to coronavirus. At the time the President spoke, all 50 states each had more than 200 confirmed cases, and 41 states have more than 1,000 confirmed cases. There is no definitive state-by-state data on how many infected people have recovered.

Chinese epicenter Wuhan raises number of virus dead by about 50 percent

China still lying about Chinese virus

Knowing the Virus Was Spreading, China Shut Down Domestic Travel to and From Wuhan, Did NOT Stop International Flights

the Chinese erased data, destroyed samples, doctors and journalists disappeared, and China shut down domestic travel to and from Wuhan, but they did not stop international flights to and from Wuhan. In other words, they protected their own country, but were willing to expose the rest of the world knowing the risks.”

Biden: Pandemic Relief An ‘Opportunity’ To ‘Change The Science Relating To Global Warming’

I love it when you post these types of articles for it demonstrates the willful ignorance on the right.

Keep up the good work.

Why are you not responding to trump knowing in November?

Already have, but will send the quote again. The numbers out of China(they just revised them see above) downplayed the threat from Coronavirus. You do understand science is data driven, at least it should be.

Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus coordinator, said March 31 that her team reviewed China’s statistics and thought the coronavirus outbreak would be no worse than SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), the 2002-03 epidemic that effected more than 8,000 people in 26 countries.

It was not until Birx saw the coronavirus strike Italy and Spain that the White House realized the truth – the coronavirus was far more dangerous than the Chinese government claimed. But by then it was too late.

So trump told Dr. Brix he received Intel in the second week of November and dismissed it?

Here is a N.Y. times article from November talking about treatment of pneumonia patients in China . After so many years of specialist training, I’m familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of most respiratory diseases,” wrote Dr. Li. “But this time, I looked and looked at it. I couldn’t guess what pathogen caused this pneumonia.

so yes, I’m sure CDC And NIAID , Fauci and Birx were aware of something in China in Nov 19. But China lied and people Died. See previously posted quote from Birx.

Pneumonic Plague Is Diagnosed in China

It was not until Birx saw the coronavirus strike Italy and Spain that the White House realized the truth – the coronavirus was far more dangerous than the Chinese government claimed. But by then it was too late.

January 31 was the date both Italy and Spain discovered the virus in their countries. What is meant by “But by then it was too late? Too late for what exactly? They realized on that day it was far more dangerous than previously known so what did trump do? Apparently not much. Even in his propaganda video the only February reference was to the sixth when the CDC shipped test kit that didn’t work. Other than that the propaganda video skips from January to March I wonder why?

"This is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
DJT- March,17

He knew it was a pandemic and kept lying and downplaying the threat in public statements.

As Birx said, they weren’t aware how deadly Coronavirus was until it struck Italy and Spain. Because China lied. It’s not about the first case in Italy or Spain, it’s about the damage it did in those countries. I was in Milan from Feb25-5Mar, the Doumo was packed with Chinese. Italy closed schools I think around 4 Mar. Spain even later. So they were in the process of figuring it out early March

Why does his propaganda video skip his actions in the month of February?

Instead of attempting to spin the public into a hateful, frightened frenzy, let’s try reporting some facts with the correct context. Here’s what that might look like:

On March 3rd, the day after you claim Trump should have shut our economy down, this is how the WHO downplayed the virus:
