Ya, wish you could edit posts. Anyway, at this point I can no longer defend Trump’s response. Not stopping flights from Italy was a fatal mistake, and even now he’s reluctant. I am glad he was elected but he didn’t have what it takes to hardline this thing and protect the nation. Flights should have been cancelled without regard for petty inconveniences.
I’m with you. This could well turn into Trump’s Katrina/Iranian hostage crisis and Steve Bannon’s ‘fourth turning’ all at once.
I don’t see the emergency industrial turnaround we need to get more than just enough masks for health workers cranked out, but hospital rooms, respirator hospital equipment, etc., etc.
And with two months’ notice now we likely couldn’t have stopped it from eventually getting here, but we sure could have stopped its spread by a critical month or two, which could potentially have saved many lives.
He’s gotta stop saying how much better he’s doing than Obama or anyone else on it and actually do well on it!
The rhetoric and posture and actions at this point are borderline appalling—and I’m a huge Trump supporter!
I wouldn't put all the blame on the President. We elect a top executive who is supposed to have competent advisors. We can't elect an epidemiologist-in-chief dictator. Whoever the president is has to rely on our seemingly apathetic and corrupt institutions, and the blame has to go down to those bureaucrats.
But blame won't save lives, hygiene and quarantine of ADEQUATE DURATION with God's help may save lives.
Since you’re supposedly a Trump supporter, I find it very curious that you’re talking about voting for “someone else” in November because you think he’s failing on one issue. I’d love to know who you think would do a better job containing a worldwide pandemic, which no country in the world has apparently succeeded at doing.
