You still have never provided any proof of this, it's straight from Trump's mouth to your ears.

He continually claims that Trump* was made a victim for the only timely correct step he made and the only backup for his claim is the Daily Caller, Trumplican media crying victim as usual.

I have said since he started that Trump* and his gang of incompetents are using all the recession fighting tools to save the ailing bull market.

He did, they are gone, the Bear is here, triggered by Corona and we are now following the path of Japan into the Great Stagnation.

what i claimed is that (1) trump was criticized for his early travel ban, and that (2) now he’s being criticized for not doing enough, and that (3) the H1N1 virus killed
more than 10,000 americans when obama was potus, and that didn’t get anywhere near this level of media hysteria. Please tell
us which if those statements are wrong?

you want to say he’s made too many statements that were incorrect, i agree. you want to say he’s not the right guy to restore calm and confidence, i agree. That doesn’t mean the media salivating over the opportunity to use this to help him lose the election. they’re deranged with hate.

look at you here. you said obama’s incarceration of children wasn’t problematic, but Trumps is, because of the numbers. All i did was ask you what the maximum
number of child detention is before it’s barbaric, and you responded by insulting my mother? is that rational?

As of mid-March 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result (0.4% of the estimated total number of people who contracted it), and 12,000 died (0.02% not statistically different than the seasonal flu, the dead people might not agree though).
I would feel safe if this virus had those stats.
In South Korea which is testing 1/200 of it's citizens and controlling community spread the death rate is more than 8x the H1N1 virus, In Italy it is similar and you cant figure out the true death rate till it is over. So far the CDC is saying this is much worse.

They see the incompetence and report on it, you assume that the people who report on the federal government have not seen how things work, how information flows and talk to people inside administrations about what is going on behind the walls of the WH

I'd give up. Jim doesn't read past the headlines on anything. Of the last two links he posted today, the first was an opinion piece contradicted by the actual quotes referenced and the other, a gem, was based on a Schumer Tweet that BY ADMISSION OF THE OWN ARTICLE HE CITED was likely made up

Jim has less credibility than Trump these days.

President Donald Trump has made a number of misleading statements about his decision on Jan. 31 to impose travel restrictions related to the novel coronavirus epidemic.

Trump has referred to the travel restrictions as a “travel ban.” There isn’t an outright ban, as there are exceptions, including for Americans and their family members.
Trump said he was “bold” in imposing travel restrictions even though “everybody said, it’s too early, it’s too soon” and “a lot of people that work on this stuff almost exclusively” told him “don’t do it.” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said the decision stemmed from “the uniform recommendations of the career public health officials here at HHS.”
Trump said Democrats “loudly criticized and protested” his announced travel restrictions, and that they “called me a racist because I made that decision.” Trump is overstating Democratic opposition. None of the party’s congressional leaders and none of the Democratic candidates running for president have directly criticized that decision, though at least two Democrats have.
Trump said the travel restrictions “saved a lot of lives” and reduced U.S. COVID-19 cases to “a very small number.” But experts say there isn’t enough data to make that determination. A study in the journal Science found the various travel limitations across the globe initially helped to slow the spread, but the number of cases worldwide rose anyway because the virus had already begun traveling undetected internationally.
Azar declared a public health emergency for the novel coronavirus on Jan. 31, and announced the travel restrictions to and from China, effective Feb. 2. On Feb. 29, Trump expanded those travel restrictions to Iran. Trump has repeatedly boasted that his decision to impose the travel restrictions was bold and worked. But his rhetoric has sometimes stretched the facts.

Again lets hope its not to little to late

The captain is responsible for his and his people's inactions or actions during a crisis... this has been true thru History , but History only applies to Trump if its positive. Trump supporters prove this daily

Demtard Playbook

1) Create a problem, PANIC
2) Government plan to the rescue
3) Nonstop talk about it
4) Plan is ineffective at solving the problem
5) Rinse and Repeat
