[[President Donald Trump’s erratic handling of the coronavirus outbreak]]

They keep saying this- but NEVER give any legitimate examples of how he’s been ‘erratic’- all they have is baseless false accusations that ‘he didn’t act soon enough’- that;s all they have- and it’s a complete lie-

How many here think biden would have shut down our borders? Or worked with companies to build new ppe stuff, or gotten respirators like Pres Trump has managed to do? Or ordered millions of doses of HCQ? or or or-

The media are pathetic- their handling of reporting consists of nothing but disgusting lies- They are attempting to brainwash the low info masses- they aren’t even a legit news media anymore-

President Trump is right- why hold press conferences when they refuse to report the truth and just keep coming up with false narratives to paint Him as out of touch all the time?

They aren’t interested in the truth- they can’t handle the truth- and most any msm reporter who claims ot be ‘fair and balanced’ or ‘not biased’ is a bald-faced liar-

There's been nothing "erratic" except seeing this administration react to changing information. The virus was downplayed at first because of lies out of China & WHO about person-to-person transmission.

Trump's travel ban--which, indisputably, he alone advocated--bought us time to mobilize and respond. He was savaged by the press and the left but he was 100% right and, no doubt, saved thousands of American lives.

These reporters know better than we do what the feds did during Feb with all the conference calls & round tables with biotech, hospitality, travel and various other industries to look at what resources could be brought online to deal with ventilator and PPE shortages to keep ahead of need--WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL and what economic impacts would exist to look ahead to coming out of the shelter-in-place mitigation strategies.

These reporters can't even tell the truth about testing. Yes there was a problem with one reagent but why didn't we use the outside tests? Quality. Look at what other nations who relied on those tests have discovered. Look at the defects in PPE from China that Europe is discovering. Same with ventilators. There's thousands of unusable ventilators which is why Trump has continued to push production here so American can help not only itself going forward but do what America does best: help the rest of the world.

On testing, Trump made sure it was possible in a regulatory fashion for our private industry to develop their own tests which gave us the Abbott point of care test in record time and other test types so we could scale, so we could make use of the lab capacity in our country. We might not have all we need for Phase 2, yet, but the taskforce has said states have all that's required for Phase 1 reopening.

American First has always been the best course for the world over. A strong and generous America is not isolationist. Far from it, it's an American prepared to weather any storm. Globalism has gutted the critical capacity of so many countries. France's primary mask facility recently closed because they outsourced, now they're scrambling.

We are very lucky Trump won and not Hillary.

How many here think biden would have shut down our borders?

How many here think Trump did?

The fact that no Democrat would have done a better job does not mean Trump did a good job.

He is going to have to run on HIS record, not on what anybody imagines Hillary Clinton would or wouldn't have done.

Biden would never have had to do the things President Trump did. If Biden had been in the White House. If Hillary Clinton had been in the White House. If The People's choice, one barrack obama had been in the White House this virus would have never been mentioned by the media. Oh, there may have been a 15 word item on page 65 of the classifieds, but that would have been it.

It was not that they realized that they could use the virus to collapse the American economy and if not get rid of President Trump, they could weaken him so he would, with the help pf vote fraud, be defeated in the 2020 elections via ballot harvesting and mail in ballots. Then they jumped on it with both feet. The sheep did their part by panicking and here we are.

"They keep saying this- but NEVER give any legitimate examples of how he’s been ‘erratic’- all they have is baseless false accusations that ‘he didn’t act soon enough’"

Exactly. Trump, like many, downplayed the seriousness of the epidemic early on in several tweets, but such over-confidence was typical at the time, and was based on what his scientific advisers were telling him.

Trump established the CV task force and the China travel restrictions in late January, before there was a single CV in the US, and when there were only about 20 confirmed cases nationwide. How can that be considered "late"?

Plus, we have all seen the clips of Democratic politicians - and liberal media - minimizing the threat in late February and early March. To cite just one example, there is the late-February clip of Pelosi hugging strangers in Chinatown and urging everyone to "come on down."

In my area, Gov. Jay Inslee - widely praised for his "early" response - allowed a soccer game to be played in downtown Seattle with 31,000 fans on March 7th.
