Peter has a rather severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
In contrast to Peter, below is a snippet of what Sundance wrote yesterday about Trump.
Who has the better analysis of Trump?
“”””Prescient Trump…

The level of media opposition and snark against President Trump is simply so ridiculous at this point there’s a desperation to it. So let us consider…
From the outset of Donald Trump’s entry into the world of politics he espoused a series of key tenets around what he called his “America-First” objectives:
1. The U.S. needed to have control over our borders, and a greater ability to control who was migrating to the United States. A shift toward stopping ‘illegal’ migration.
2. The U.S. needed to stop the manufacture of goods overseas and return critical manufacturing back to the United States. A return to economic independence.
3. The U.S. needed to decouple from an over-reliance on Chinese industrial and consumer products. China viewed as a geopolitical and economic risk.
Donald Trump was alone on these issues. No-one else was raising them; no-one else was so urgently pushing that discussion. In 2015, 2016 and even 2017, no-one other than Trump was talking about how close we were to the dependence point of no return.
Given the status of very consequential issues stemming from the Chinese Coronavirus threat; and the myriad of serious issues with critical supply chain dependencies; wasn’t President Trump correct in his warnings and proposals?”””
Do you know of any concrete steps the Trump administration has taken to change the fact that 80% of our medical supplies currently come from China? Puerto Rico used to be a supplier of medical supplies, then that was gone. I wonder if the infrastructure is still there ready to be restored to quick manufacture.
