You sure do like to hear yourself talk.

One question: Did President Trump make a mistake when he locked down the country for the COVID hoax?

That's the pot calling the kettle black. 🤣

I believe I already naswered that questtion when I stated that he erred on the side of caution. Let me expand the answer for you. Yes, no one knows everything. First off Trump has no medical training that I am aware of. Therefore, he wopuld have had to rely upon others who supposedly were experts in the medical profession. Do you believe that Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx were experts, and more imporatatly that they were telling Trump the truth?

Perhaps, you weren't aware that everyoe in the profession, were lying themselves, were not knowlegeable about infectious diseases, or they were afraid to speak out, because those who spoke out were being targeted professionally. By that I mean their livelihoods were actually being threatened to be taken from them, and many did sufffer that result.

Even though I personally am not a doctor, I wwas the son of a doctor, and from being that I knew that part of being a docotr is questioning the diagnosis made by other doctors, because sometimes doctors make the wrong disgnosis. So, from that aspect, I knew something was amiss when doctors were being trgeted for disagreeeing with things that were being said that contradicted the apparent narrative that was the only narrative that would be allowed.

But, that still doesn't mean that my concerns were proof. Instead, it was just against the norm that had been accepted for decades.

Now, if you had to make a decision about a topic that you knew nothing about, would you be comfprtable going against the what the so-called experts were telling you. If the experts are telling you the truth, then potatentially millions could die from ythe decision you make, or would you trust that the experts were telling you the truth, and would you have followed their advice.

One thing you do not give Trump credit for is that he eventually decided that the "cure" was doing more damage then the virus was doing.

I was against his call, but than my decision had no merit whatsoever, and thus the call was easy for me to make. But it was a decision I made for myself, my wife got the vaccine.

If I didn't say it before then I will remind you that many people on this site were claiming that the virus was real, serious, and most importantly, deadly. When I looked at the Cruise Ships, which typically have a lot of people who are older, the death rate did not seem very high. Sure some were dying, but the percentage wasn't as high as one woould think, since they were supposedly in the high -risk category. Either very healthy old people take ruises, or the virus wasn't as deadly as it touted as being. I also thought that the "vaccine" was rather useless, and that they too seemed to cause more death or adverse side-affets than those who refused to take the "vaccine".

Bottom line though, is that Trump is very intelligent, and he also has compassion for people, and he was in a position where he had to make a decision. Does he risk the lives of millions, or does he err on the side of caution?

Being a President is not an easy job, it's demanding and requires tough decisions, and like all prodessions that have that degere or pressure, not all decisions are going to be the correct decision.

But I hold back being ultra critical of evything a president gets wrong. Only when they keep repeating the same mistake do I get critical.

Who would have thought that Iran would actually make enemies with the other Middle Eastern nations, that now some are willing to join Isreal's side in this fight. But that is becoming the reality.

I hope that Irainian people can rise to the occasion to defeat their oppressors, and if we can assist them it will provide so much stability back into this world. It has to be done, even If I prefer that there would be another way that does not require our involvement.

I am still against joining in with Ukraine, because that conflict was easy to resolve, just remain neutral and do not become a NATO nation. Iran has been at war with us for 47 years, and China has been at war with us since the early 50s.

Both of those do nreed American assistance, and the rest of the world had better hop on board as well. Because the implications of both of those nations are far more imminent complex issues with real consequences for the world. Not just a single nation.
