So, I answered your question. Here’s one for you. Do you honestly think that the leader of India is locking down his country—1.3 billion souls—as a way to hurt Trump and the U.S. economy?

No I don't and that was not my contention. I said they are not truly leaders but followers who allow themselves to be led by media-hype, "conventional wisdom", and social media metoo-ism.

You think they are benevolent, deep thinking leaders. I prefer President Trump's style: Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

But a very polite and friendly disagreement that I appreciate. Thanks!

No, I don’t think they are benevolent deep-thinkers. I think they’ve been told stuff that has scared the living hell out of them—something that hasn’t been shared with us. I think this not only because of the extremity of the reaction, but its near (or complete) universality.

I too appreciate President Trump’s style, and if the polls are to be believed, so do the American people. I think he had his doubts when first confronted by this. Why shouldn’t he? He has been opposed by the deep state/intelligence services etc. from the time he declared for office. But once he saw Wuhan for what it is he has led this country’s fight against it very well. Banning flight’s from China was an early first step that he was, of course, roundly criticized for.
