I didn't get that at all. He saw the trap and he studiously avoided it. In fact he was saying IF he had better information (FROM CHINA was unspoken) he would've felt more prepared for the situation. He didn't give them a "mistakes made" soundbite.

He wonders if there was anything he missed in China's lies that might've tipped him off that this was far worse than they were letting on. And that's a honest person.

Pence is such a contrast to Trump. They are a great team!

[newzjunkey]

Yup. It’s Kirk and Spock (as originated by Shatner & Nimoy).

[MrEdd]

He doesn’t have to.
The medications have been in use so long Any Doctor can proscribe them for ancillary purposes.

However, under the circumstances, if Dr. Birx stole the scarf from your dinner table, would not you be the more appropriate winner of the scarf award? :)

I certainly see your perspective but it flat out energizes me to watch him take these morons down. Havent watched tv in decades and dont have cable but now i find myself drawn to this live stream every day like I used to wait for Superman to come on the old black and white.

[pollywog]

I just sent a message of thanks to our beloved President Trump.
Maybe we could all FREEP him and thank him for his courage.

.....”This is the most aggressive response to a national emergency from a POTUS and administration I have witnessed since my political awakening over five decades ago”.....

I agree...

I think during 9/11 it was when the Pres. grounded all aircraft and how the entire Airline Industry, Tower Staff, Ground crews, Pilots, and Military actually pulled that off without incident...that I knew then whatever comes against this nation it's good people will come together and make happen whatever is necessary to protect this country.

But this was a horse of a different color....how do you close down a country from an invisable enemy you can't see other than the trail of death and illness it leaves in it's path? How do you get ahead of something you can't see?...... Although I think people were a little slow in understanding how serious this was, but as they did come to understand for the most part they did the right thing to protect our medical system, themselves and their families as well as the public in general.

Th Pres. did the right thing as I see it.

Good graph explaining how the media lies with statistics.

Thank you. So many on here can be so hard and so unforgiving. I’m glad he takes it to the press, truly I am. I just seem like he was beating a dead horse. No matter how much he stands up to them, it goes nowhere. I had a moment of frustration, as if no one else ever has!

[Dacula]

4Liberty is the winner. Fair and square.

WWG1WGA!

Concur...My duck-and-cover elementary schooldays, fear of polio, Cuban Missiles-the cold war, civil unrest of the 60s and my Naval career did not create the butterflies in my stomach as intensely as this virus has. I'm in agreement that Trump had to act as he has.

My wife had those same sentiments until I explained that POTUS KNOWS there are more people tuning in every night that need to be Red Pilled! Because of this he ENDURES the madness to expose the truth to the masses! Prayers up for POTUS and Team!

MAGA! WINNING BIGLY! WWG1WGA!

[Guenevere]

Thanks!....sounds good!

[McGruff]

The media minimize the risk from the start.

Won’t know the ones that went to the Dr, but didn’t get a test because there weren’t enough tests, but tested negative for the flu & strep.

[PerConPat]

Thanks...I tuned in late today...

I said much the same thing at the very beginning of the briefing today - I hated to see him come out and be on the defensive, but I guess he felt it was time to STOMP those vermin after a weekend of “Trump was slow! Trump was slow!” propaganda. I can’t blame him for it, and it was certainly glorious to watch.
