The President stands no chance here. The dems will try to nail him no matter what he does. If he HAD shut down schools or shut down airports they would have been critical of that. Since he is playing it with caution, they nail him on that. He just can’t win with them. We have had flu throughout all time and no president ever took the hit for it. WTF?
Keep your head on man and stop this depressive nonsense. The President hasn't stood a chance since he came down the elevator, yet here he is and here we are. The enemy isn't the democrats. It's the RINOs and weaklings in our own trenches.
Just stand firm and the dems can't do anything much unless someone makes a terrible mistake. Panicking about this serves no use whatsoever.
“The dems will try to nail him no matter what he does. “
Yeah this is the New York Times. So what they’re saying may be true. But I guarantee you that if he were to take their advice... If he were to do anything that even appears like what they’re suggesting... If he were to take the bait, they would immediately denounce him as a horrendous hitlerian tyrant.
Yeah we know how this game is played.
I agree our President can never “win” against the Looney Left.
If he calls for limits on travel and a sense of urgency, they will say his fear mongering. If he is presenting information as he is currently, “not too much to worry about”, etc., then the President doesn’t care about his citizens.
IMO, I do think the Corona Virus is a major concern and I personally have prepared. Don’t believe the small numbers by Iran and China, it is far greater. Also try telling Italy that this is something that is no big deal.
Good luck!
Yeah, PDJT is going to be criticized no matter what he does. But that has been going on since before he was elected. His already thick skin has got to be Rhino hide quality by now.
So what has he done with respect to the Corona virus outbreak?:
- Followed the (evolving) CDC guidance on how to handle the disease outbreak. They are the medical experts, after all.
- Appointed a sufficiently high level Executive Branch official (VP Pence) to monitor and manage an aggressive across-the-government response to the outbreak. Can’t get any higher than VP. But, somehow, you know that is just not going to be enough for people like Rep. Bartender or Senator Pocahantus.
- Insist, through VP Pence, that government announcements and information on this issue be coordinated so the government’s information is current, clear, comprehensible, and not self-contradictory. By insisting on a single source, government officials are prohibited from becoming anonymous sources or becoming the source of opinions/statements that hostile MSM will use to create public uncertainty as to what the present official guidance is on dealing with the issue.
- Ask for $1 billion funding for development of a vaccine. He has proposed shifting some already appropriated funds from other health-related accounts so monies to proceed are immediately available. Of course, Democrats in both the House and Senate have cried “Not soon enough, not enough money” while proposing new legislation for increased funding. This provides endless opportunities for Democrat political mischief. “See, we provided more money than the stingy Orange Man, who doesn’t care about you because he’s bad, bad!” Of course, we all know how rapidly legislation gets done in Congress, especially in an election year with multiple legislator candidates for President. It should be noted that providing additional funding does nothing without a real plan to spend it effectively. So, in addition to the urgent work they have to do, agencies targeted for additional funds will have to work up spending plans for money they didn’t request. Reallocating “parked” or under utilized money in other programs is precisely what the President is attempting to do to immediately get work started.
- Finally, the President is being restrained in his remarks on the issue and is giving it the attention a low level but serious risk deserves. (This unnatural behavior has got to be a strain!). He is reserving use of the presidential bully pulpit for when and if it is really needed.
