Unless that is your goal was/is to spread fear and uncertainty just like any other troll.

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?
