Think of the absurdity of an Administration who wants local government to control things yet will only support those decisions when the decision is what the Pres. wants.

What is the pop. %?

I remember your snarky comments early on about it being all Dems states. Now it is primarily Rep. states.

Stable genius the math wizard tweets again, for the first time?

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
For the 1/100th time, the reason we show so many Cases, compared to other countries that haven’t done nearly as well as we have, is that our TESTING is much bigger and better. We have tested 40,000,000 people. If we did 20,000,000 instead, Cases would be half, etc. NOT REPORTED!
8:39 AM · Jul 9, 2020·Twitter for iPhone


THE FACTS

1) Per capita testing: in regards to number of tests done per 1 million people, the USA is barely in the Top 20 in the world

2) Community spread: cases of COVID19 have surged in multiple states of the USA due to increasing spread of the virus

Denmark: 1 test per 5 residents
US: 1 test per 8.5 residents

Cases yesterday:
Denmark: 12
US: 61,848

And yet you were strangely quite when Jim carpet-bombed this site with threads for what 8 years. You're a walking definition of hypocrisy.

the president is allowed to have an opinion...like if a local government decides to disband their police force...should a president support that decision if he believes it is wrongheaded?

Seems like his opinion changes depending on whether he agrees with the local decision or not. He is threatening to take $ away from educ. (even though he hasn't told us how). Sort of like the hypocrisy the Rep. states all talk about local control but when the Dem. mayor did things (masks) the hypocites got upset.
