This should be a long, boring conference with meaty details, not quick platitudes and then boisterous Q&A. Give us meaningful discussion and details!
I disagree. He was handling this but the media and democrats claimed that anything he was doing was a “distraction” from impeachment.
Reno89519 Resident Trump ankle biter.
“He caused this mess by not getting in front of it...”
If I have read this once, I have read it fifty times on this site. Posters really think they have cut a big hog when they sagely, originally, point that out.
Get in front of?
Have you demanded that Trump, or any president, “get in front” of a flu epidemic every winter, which kills many more people in the United States every year?
Has anyone ever made an attempt to describe precisely how Trump can get in front of this that he already has not done? It is a new virus, seeded around the world by the Chinese. Trump was accused of racism, basically, when he stopped flights from China by the very people who now say he is not doing anything about the spread of the virus.
Whatever Trump, has done or will do, it will always come up short if you listen to the MSM or Intelligence agencies, or the CDC, which gave an alarmist briefing while Trump was out of the country. And, to my idiot senator John Kennedy, respirators will not stop the virus from spreading.
The border patrol has been issued respirators because Chinese are sneaking across the border, kept opened by the very people condemning Trump for the way he is handling the disease.
What drives me crazy is their claiming we have zero community transmission here when we’ve only tested in the hundreds who, by definition had a link to travel in China, so they couldn’t be classified as having caught it by community transmission!
Every time Trump quotes such low numbers in the US, he damages his credibility on this.
I fear he hasn’t been getting good info on this. I hope he does today.
there are very good reasons not to put china on the defensive publicly at this point.
this is a very fluid geopolitical situation. a big plague marker just escaped from pandora’s box and it sitting in the middle of the board (dropped on accident I assume) and the last thing you want is the country that 1)may have more variations of it and 2)may be worst hit by it thinking their best option is add more spice to the soup. They could do it, and may do it if their best chance of survival in power says go that route.
for this reason rumors of a different strain in iran are particularly terrifying just in the idea it could be true and would not be accidental release.
What mess? How many people have been infected in America?
including honesty about the real numbers and deaths in China.
WTH are you talking about? It's President Trump business to run China too?
Since when?
He’s been taking actions but so many false-flag scare stories are out there that nobody can seem to settle down...taking normal Flu season precautions is best bet.
I see you are still in full concern-troll mode - perhaps you and Mariner can team up....
