The coronavirus and character
American Thinker ^ | April 1, 2020 | Alex Kouskolekas

...For the sake of argument, what would any other administration have done differently? Obviously, no one knows for sure, yet it's presented as an article of faith that any other president would have done something bigger/stronger/faster/better...The inability or unwillingness to think outside the Trump lines colors everything, to the point of being a meme unto itself. A virus originates in China, which hides information and lies; the infected fly around the world to include the U.S.; taxis and shuttles move them into communities, facilitating the spread; hotspots emerge; and now people try to flee cities like N.Y., making the interstate system a mode of further spread. And somehow, it's the fault of one Donald Trump. This isn't just losing the ability to debate; it's losing the ability to reason at all.

KEYWORDS:
The author discusses two things, character and critical thinking, that I think would each be better fleshed out in its own essay.

However, the author does bring up one big bugaboo point that has been bothering me because it is not addressed enough: What would you have had Trump done?

My question to Freepers, since I don't talk to any Trump critics myself, do you ask the Trump critics in your lives what Trump should have done sooner? What do they say? How do you respond?

I don’t know why they even want to be friends with me. But they do so I try to care for them best I can...

They don’t say anything specific, or if they do, it is something nonsensical.

Those with TDS notwithstanding - and also not relevant - This outbreak is looking to be, for Trump, what the attack on Pearl Harbor was for FDR.

Will there even be a presidential “race” this year. How do you hammer the president while we are all fighting this together?

Answer, “You don’t, without looking like a fool.”
