Get your head out of your myopic conservative bubble.

THE WINNAH!!! Most hysterical pearl clutching post of the week!!
BTW, WHY is any deaths from this virus a threat to the presidents re election while deaths from OTHER viruses which in any given year take the lives of 10’s of thousands of Americans not also a threat?
Aside from the loony Left who can make a charge that in some bizarre way Trump is responsible for a virus we KNOW originated in China?
Since the answer to the first 2 are obvious so is the answer to the third point regarding the economy. An economic slowdown caused by something totally out of the control of the President will not be able to be successfully blamed on this President by a totally discredited media.
Get your head out of your myopic conservative bubble.
LOL, Hurricane Katrina!
You are actually comparing how pussy Dubya responded to the biased press and how the current President has and will?
Bush was one of those elitists Republicans who thought it above the office to fight back against the lies of the media. In fact up until the good Lord blessed us with a man who actually is willing to fight for what he believes and against any and all attackers, all Republicans had jelly for spines.
You need to revisit your history, son. Unless that is your goal was/is to spread fear and uncertainty just like any other troll.
Approximately 70,000 deaths in the U. S., in 2017, were caused by opioid overdoses. Guess who was President? If you guessed DJT, you are correct. An outrage / blame game strategy, wasn’t put into use then, because the insurance policy and Mueller investigation leading to the impeachment strategy, was in full swing, and the deep state along with the fifth column media, were confident that Trump was going down. Or maybe, they just didn’t think of using it at the time, as a strategy. Oops.
The hype, panic, blame game and melt down, that one can see swelling up in the media and across the aisle now, is transparent and quite predictable. What number in outrage, of President Trump’s tenure, are we on now? # 10? # 15? # 20? # 30? # 50?
Is this the precursor to Impeachment 2.0? Or just body blows before the election?
What’s next? Blame ladder deaths, drownings, car accidents or suicides on Trump?
It’s the same logic.
What we can see, is more animus and coordination by the fifth column media, working in concert with the rats on their next strategy to harm DJT.
So your contribution to the discussion is to do the following:
1. Accuse your interlocutor of bad faith: "unless your goal was/is to spread fear and uncertainty…"
2. Call your interlocutor names: "troll."
3. Condescend to your interlocutor: "son."
4. Resort to "LOL" as though that somehow punctuated an otherwise vapid thought.
I am not actually comparing Trump to Bush, I am comparing Hurricane Katrina to the coronavirus and I am comparing the reaction of the establishment media to hurricane Katrina and the coronavirus. History (which you need to revisit, son) tells us what I have been saying for weeks on these threads, the Republicans and the president have got to get in front of the story and be seen to be dealing with it effectively because it is the greatest threat to the reelection of Donald Trump.
Already the president is getting pounded by the establishment media. He has left himself open to a stab in the back from Mitt Romney. He has downplayed the crash in the stock market and left himself vulnerable to accusations that he misunderstands the situation. His first claim to reelection is the state of the economy and that is going south. He either gets in front of the story or be forced on the defensive. Elections, like wars, are won on the offensive and lost on the defensive. All of this was predictable, I predicted it for example, and so unnecessary. It is not too late but the president has got to move.
Complacency and underestimation of your enemy is the sure road to political defeat. Get your head out of your myopic conservative bubble.
Note: my injunction for you to pull your head out of your myopic conservative bubble was not the initial ad hominem in this discussion, you did that in your first reply to me and opened the door. You're ad hominem thereafter, cataloged above, only illustrates the shallowness of your posts.
You’re still full of it.
Comparing the effectiveness of the scumbag media today with this presidents response to it’s incessant attacks with the effectiveness BT (before Trump) simply shows you are living in the past and reading from the same old Dem playbook.
So Trump minimized the sell off in the markets? And what, it would have been better to wring his hands and moan about the loss to investors? This sell off is f’n PEANUTS compared to what happened in 1987 when the DOW dropped over 21% in ONE DAY! To equal that we would need a 6000 point drop in one day. I am an investor, are you? Anyone who is a serious investor knew it was only a matter of time before some event gave the traders a reason to lock in profits from this markets sharp rise recently. It’s how they make money....yopu know, buy low, sell high and when the selling pulls the markets down buy again...rinse and repeat, been watching this play out for 40+ yrs.
Like I said the credibility along with their power to convince anyone but liberals these days is a small fraction of what it was when Bush was in office.
Since you are so brilliant regarding the tactics the president should use to defend himself why don’t you call the campaign and sign on as a self proclaimed genius tactical adviser?
And while Congress is all upset Trump’s not spending enough, he should ask for additional funding to finish the wall. We need to screen everyone coming into our country.
Higher world wide temperatures are driving dangerous diseases further north into the US—dengue, malaria, yellow fever, Zika, West Nile, etc. The bugs that spread these diseases are suffering less from freezing winters and moving north.
Both business groups Forbes and Fortune are concerned with the fact that Trump has been cutting the CDC budget over the years.

Quote from the third link: “In 2018, the Trump administration fired the government’s entire pandemic response chain of command, including the White House management infrastructure. In numerous phone calls and emails with key agencies across the U.S. government, the only consistent response I encountered was distressed confusion. If the United States still has a clear chain of command for pandemic response, the White House urgently needs to clarify what it is—not just for the public but for the government itself, which largely finds itself in the dark.”
