For weeks, the Trump administration played up the dangers of the coronavirus as it sought to persuade Americans to disrupt their lives and stay home.

It seems to me that the media/dem complex was the deliberate spreader of panic.

Always fun to see what the latest liberal media dodge is. I wonder if they focus-grouped this one.

Before it’s done you know darn well it’ll be “Trump panicked causing the worst economic disaster in history!” You know it’s lurking out there.

Seems like what a lot of the media does is mock the people that know better and fool the people who don’t?

Fake news MSDNC.
No one needs convincing to come out of a defacto house arrest. People can’t wait to go out.

“Trump panicked causing the worst economic disaster in history!”

I would not put it that way, but I would say because he was nine months from re-election MSM was able to use this thing to put Trump in a vice which forced him to shut down the economy.

Let's get America Back To Work!

Highly reliable testing will soon be widely available. (1 Month)

Make HCQ widely available prophylactically to front line healthcare workers.

Prescribe HCQ EARLY in the diagnosis!

Let the sick and the "at risk" stay quarantined.

Fck the MSM.

Yup. Right in front of God and everybody in their whore faces. Reinforce very loudly the fact that we don't don't believe a single syllable of what they say. Somebody is trying to steal our country and they are at the tip of the spear supporting it with non-stop propaganda. We should start the hanging of traitors to our nation with them.

Just as the groundswell of passion to reopen the country is undeniable the media hunkers down. This headline is ahead of the curve and is preview of where the MSM is headed.

If it wasn’t for the fact that all of the other countries in the world did the same thing they might be able to make it stick. I was saying to my wife that I think it is all a scam by the news media and she reminded me that almost every other country is doing the same thing. This at least provides credence to the President to do what he did and also remember he didn’t lock down the economy it was the governors of the states that did it.

I trust Trump to the bitter end but I do think he acted upon suggestions from how can we say it, tainted experts?
And I believe he knows that and will NOT make the same mistake again.

So, did he wait too long or panic immediately? Is he not doing enough or over reacting? Is he refusing to take control or bullying others. Their criticism literally changes from hour to hour purely to accommodate whatever topic they are talking about at the time.

I’m not blaming Trump, he had no choice. He tried to use a reasoned approach on this and it became very obvious very quickly they would crucify him. He did a masterful pivot.

Well, bully for them. They’re the idiots that shut it down in the first place. They get no pats on the head from me.
