I feel like they would all be embarrassed by your decision to take your stand on a fishing website. Grow a pair for goodness sakes. This whining accomplishes absolutely nothing. Does your first responder son realize this is how you are helping him! Shame on you.

I'd respond if it warranted it.

Try to not watch to much reporting other than local, but OMG I couldn’t believe Trumps response to a reporter asking what he would like to say to millions of Americans who might be frightened. No be diligent, try to stay calm, practice social distancing, watch out for your family and friends, no reassurance nothing; just calls the reporter a nasty reporter and goes on a rant. Clown yes, leader no!

If that is what you expect from this president at this moment then it says a lot about you. Do you want him to hold your hand as you cross the street,also?

Are you really are serious? If so i guess based on your posting history I shouldn’t be surprised and no my lifestyle really hasn’t changed, it’s one of the benefits of being retired. So no I don’t need and I certainly don’t expect empathy from this administration but there is a large part of this country looking to this president for reassurance and a truthful accounting for where we are. He had the opportunity to reach out to that part of the country listening for something other than the usual and he feel flat on his orange face. Go google the news clip from today’s briefing which I assume it’s from and then tell me your happy with the way he handled the question. It wasn’t like the reporter was trying to put him on the spot about the lack of testing, the shortages of masks or ventilators, he just asked what the president wanted to say to those Americans who are fearful, a true leader would have seen that as a great opportunity, instead this clown attacks the reporter and shows his true character; as have you by your defense.

Carry on and know that your best president of our lifetime can’t handle and apparently it’s all because of the Obama administration.

I think what he’s saying is that if by now you’re expecting a minimum viable amount of leadership, competency, empathy, transparency or civility you haven’t been paying attention.
