On Wednesday night, a solemn President Trump spoke for less than ten minutes to tell Americans what steps the federal government has taken and will take to address the spread of coronavirus around the world. These steps include stopping all travel from Europe, payroll tax relief, small business loans, and aide for American workers who become sick or must care for someone who is sick.
Although it was not a flowery speech, Trump reminded Americans that health crises are a fact of life. What matters is how one responds. In the face of the panic sweeping America, Trump promised us that, “This is not a financial crisis. This is just a temporary moment in time that we will overcome together as a nation and as a world.”
After detailing the practical steps he will take, Trump ended by saying that America has tremendous financial resilience, which makes his proposals possible, and incredible human capital. He also urged Americans to put aside partisan differences to provide the most robust response to a temporary, albeit severe, problem.
Within minutes, Democrats and Never Trumpers ignored the President’s request that the country works together on the problem. Instead, they swung instantly into action, castigating him for doing nothing (even though he acted quickly to restrict travel from China and quarantine travelers) and dreaming of all the horrible things that should happen to Trump and America.
Here are just a few examples of the hysteria and pure hatred that Democrats and NevertTrumpers expressed for Trump and America itself.
The Palmer Report vomited panic, silliness, and hatred:

They need to go.
Soon.
Which was to be expected.
Trump spoke in an effort to try and calm the panic, but I also think he deliberately triggered them at certain points (i.e. foreign virus) in order to cause even more masks to start falling off.
He made it easy for them. That speech was a complete debacle.
Wonder how many people saw the address. Right after the address the NBA game suspension sucked all the oxygen out of news coverage.
shocking....
Let me try to understand this... They (Dems) complain endlessly that nothing is being done. Trump is (Insert negative comment here) the usual BS. Now he takes unprecedented steps and in some cases not enough and you guessed it.... More complaining...
petulant children...
Meanwhile Biden threatens to assault an auto worker and they manipulate the tape to protect him........
Feel better now?
He is not doing enough and cutting the CDC’s pandemic response will haunt him. This is his “red telephone” moment. If he can’t can’t start doing better he will not be re-elected.
Kick your ass!
The Democrats have taken the lines from the movie: “V for vengeance”; “They need to know why they need us!”
Malcontents who will never be content as long as they are here.
So...
Would you like a hanky? Get a grip.
We’ve got a few dozen dead. Obama didn’t do a thing on SARS until 1,000 Americans dead. POTUS has been fine. Don’t feed the hysteria.
1. Who cares about Tom Hanks?
2. President Trump and Vice President Pence are doing a fantastic job
3. Who cares about the NBA?
4. Whoever this dufus is needs to go lick a doorknob in Italy
5. The Europe ban makes perfect sense. See Italy. (again what a dufus)
6. We should close the southern border for a very, very long time, or at least become much more strict with crossings.
7. The stock market did not “crash.” It went down and corrected.
Gary Kasparov has been bitter since he lost to Deep Blue II, made worse after he lost the ‘greatest ever’ title to someone half his age.
What should he have said?
Words don’t even really matter here, the thing is what it is.
Vicious partisan rancor — Three words that, both together and separately define today’s Anti-American leftist.
“This is his “red telephone” moment. If he can’t can’t start doing better he will not be re-elected.”
What should he being doing?
