If doing his best is making things worse it just validates what we’ve known all along, he’s unfit for office. To think he can’t even read 10 min of prepared remarks and not screw it completely up shows not just his own incompetence but the failure of those around him. We need a leader not someone with a wounded ego staring at the headlights and flailing about.

(1) did he mess up reading the prepared remarks? i thought the remarks were wrong.
(2) you correlate the ability to make good decisions, with the ability to read off a teleprompter? those two skills move in lockstep, do they?
anything to make him look bad, because you might not have anywhere to go to exile yourself again if he gets re elected.

The Trump* Plague and the administration’s response will obviate the need to self-exile, barring a miracle. Magic is excluded as a solution because it implies some expertise.
President Barack Obama on 1/7/10: "Ultimately, the buck stops with me. As President, I have a solemn responsibility to protect our nation and our people, and when the system fails, it is my responsibility.”
Donald Trump on 3/12/20: “No, I don’t take responsibility at all.”

The leader of every country that has a corona virus must publicly confess fault and only then will the caseload subside. Just fall on the sword and get it over with. Certainly Obama saved many lives with his baring of the soul. What was his death count at the time of his nice words? Maybe the virus will be eliminated by simply following his lead.
Thanks for the inspiration Bitchslappedboy.

President Trump*, who is scheduled to be on a call with grocery store executives at this hour and has a pandemic to manage, is tweeting currently about the plight of Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators.

Trump* can’t brag about stocks or the great economy.
He can’t say he is going to drain the swamp bc his admin is swampier.
He can’t say he is going to bring down debt bc he blew it up without cause and now he’s adding way more
He can’t say Mexico is going to pay for a wall.
What does he have left to run on?
Is it gonna be dead elderly and look at the Medicaid savings?
The incompetence that I said was there is now out for all to see.
His first move in the corona virus debacle was his only correct one, after that he only did things to benefit himself.
And his prior destruction of all things Obama removed much needed national security safeguards.
Now we pay the price for electing a clown
But my 401K
The Asian markets are getting hammered
We’ll see what ours think of Trump*’s lies tomorrow
We will be the new Greece if he has his way.
He’s very happy

inaction? for the 20th time, when trump restricted travel from china on day one, he was called a racist and nationalist.
Doesn’t matter what trump does, you’ll say it was wrong.

This too shall pass.
I am confident that Trump will be re-elected. Then you may understand this never had anything to do with the market. Try to keep up.

NBC/WSJ poll says 60% of Americans think the worst is yet to come with COVID-19. Who are the other 40%?
Luckily 60% of Americans are not as simple as you.
Trump* used the growth tools to prop up the elderly bull market
Now he will save us like he saved his casino, airline, university etc.
Little over 300 days till the next inauguration and what Trump* will do in his last 60 ought to scare any thinking person

I agree in regards to the virus Bitchslappedboy.

Pete, our economy is fundamentally strong. I’m going to
take a stab that you didnt see the february jobs report?
The market
is dropping like a rock because we were hit by an outside influence we had nothing to do with. people are going to spend a lot less in the coming weeks, meaning earnings will be down. i can’t imagine owning a restaurant right now.
You’re saying this is trumps fault? Really?
How do you suppose we’d be better off exactly, if Hilary had won? How do you suppose our economy would be better off right at this moment, if hilary had won? Can you be specific?
You’re rooting for many deaths and an economic collapse. because if we come out relatively un-scathed, trump could possibly be seen as having managed us through this crisis well. And we all know that your bitch-slapped psyche cannot process that possibility.
Politics and economics aren’t for you. Stick to calling people’s mothers whores, you’re better at that.
You’re the rodeo clown here. the most reasonable liberal here by far is rockhound, and he has you blocked. You might ask yourself why he did that. The most logical
and thoughtful liberal here...

paul, i don’t see how you assume i must be angry ton poke fun at someone. i’ve never heard anyone suggest that anger is a prerequisite for disdain, but i’m here to tell you that its not.
have you ever criticized Pete? Because selective outrage, is fake outrage.

You have argued with pretty much everyone who disagrees with your point of view and while you can debate someone for a few posts it usually turns into Liberals this and liberals that (insults).
I don't read most of Pete's posts but of the ones I read many (most?) don't personally insult anyone other than Trump. Sea Dangles will than insult him bc he can't think of anything smart to say. So Pete takes more crap than anyone here.
Edit - After I posted this I saw Chris added his usual classlessness to this forum.

President Trump made his first public comments about the coronavirus on Jan. 22, in a television interview from Davos with CNBC’s Joe Kernen. The first American case had been announced the day before, and Kernen asked Trump, “Are there worries about a pandemic at this point?”
The president responded: “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
By this point, the seriousness of the virus was becoming clearer. It had spread from China to four other countries. China was starting to take drastic measures and was on the verge of closing off the city of Wuhan.
In the weeks that followed, Trump faced a series of choices. He could have taken aggressive measures to slow the spread of the virus. He could have insisted that the United States ramp up efforts to produce test kits. He could have emphasized the risks that the virus presented and urged Americans to take precautions if they had reason to believe they were sick. He could have used the powers of the presidency to reduce the number of people who would ultimately get sick.
He did none of those things.

Trump actually said he didn’t know people died with the flu and for something he claimed was under complete control, it sure doesn’t look that way. Charlie Baker shutting down everything statewide and banning gatherings over 25 is going to really hurt the economy and especially service worker’s relying on a paycheck or tip money to pay the rent.

Which leader has done a good job preparing for this? Please reveal the name of this well known head of State. I know there is somebody you can’t wait to say ....
Somebody out there surely made this look easy and they have a country full of safe citizens as a result.

I don’t think any leader would welcome this and all would struggle with how to gear up to address it, that is were the similarities end with Trump. He has shown time and time again how stupid he is, that his messaging was more geared toward making light of it to keep his base in camp and to stand in front of a national address and contradict your own scientific experts is so bad. He has shown he is more concerned with how the market is doing than anyone in this country he took an oath to protect and serve. Self service is all he knows.

who is “welcoming this”, outside of those who see it as an opportunity to tile the election?
he’s calling for zero
percent interest on student loans, and income protection for those who loses their income. How is that evidence that he only cares about he markets? Please explain.
