GS so nancy visits chinatown i’m late february, tells people its safe to go there, and all you can do is bash trump for his take on it.

the idea that trump ended the pandemic team, has been disputed or debunked.

if the intel existed that a good leader would
have reacted differently to to save more lives, how come no one of prominence was calling for drastic steps in december or january? the speaker of the house and mayor of NYC were telling people
to go out to crowded places in late february. you’re acting like any idiot should have known
in december to take drastic steps. what democrats were calling for that? none. yet only trump made the wrong call.

Who knew

Joe Biden
@JoeBiden
We are not prepared for a pandemic. Trump has rolled back progress President Obama and I made to strengthen global health security. We need leadership that builds public trust, focuses on real threats, and mobilizes the world to stop outbreaks before they reach our shores.

We have reached 100 thousand deaths and yet jim is more concerned about what the dems should have done, even though they dont control the executive branch

Why hasn't trump commented on this death toll..greater than the Korean war Vietnam and the wars in the gulf and Afghanistan and this happened in 3 months

Yet Trump and many of his supporters think its over. Let's hope it is ...

but as if on cue Trump moved on changed gears hes done with the idea of responsibility.. hes only interested in topics that make him look good with his base who still think this is still just a hoax

The Executive Branch Executes the will of the Congressional Branch.

"President Trump on Thursday morning said that the United States had reached a "very sad milestone" in exceeding 100,000 deaths due to the novel coronavirus, expressing sympathy for those who have lost loved ones."--from The Hill.

Obviously, since Trump is still invested in finding cures, including vaccines, he doesn't think it's over, maybe that the first phase is waning. He obvious feels a responsibility to fight the virus since he has spent so much time, effort, and political capital to do so. And it's a hoax to say that he claims the virus is a hoax. And it's kind of hoaxy to say he's responsible for 100,000 deaths, but claim he was not responsible for the good economy before the virus hit.

No, actually he has spent his political capital claiming it was under control, that he had spoken with Xi, blaming anyone possible or not and claiming he took no responsibility.
Meanwhile more than 100,000 Americans died of Coronavirus.
His playing doctor on his reality presidency show is easily seen as the actions of a desperate narcissistic weak man with a total lack of empathy.

That’s why his “ratings” are dropping, why the downticket polls are tanking and why the anti anti Trump* fluffers are panicking.
Keep flailing and claiming the Emperor has clothes.
The big orange baby is babbling away on Twitter and proving you wrong.

Funny he went from 90 minute briefing about covid 19 on national television

Yet 100 thousands deaths get a tweet

Not sure how a Trump supporter doesn't see this for what it is..

Unfortunately it's not untrue.

Wait till this afternoon when we see Tweety in his Rose Garden Presser try and pivot the attention from the virus to the riots.
Just like in the 1968 race, when Roger Ailes told Nixon to pivot from Vietnam to the post-King riots.
Nixon went full-on "law and order" not only about African Americans but also about the hippy proto-Bernie Bros in Chicago.

Ailes knew the secret "law and order" was a code for race and for culture anxiety in 1968. The language, the "Silent Majority" crap, the aggrieved whining is 1968 all over again.

Tweety wants the coverage of burning buildings. Tweety wants the cops v protesters.

By later today, you'll see posts about law and order backing a lawless and orderless Administration led by a criminal. Bannon, Miller, and the rest of the Trump fluffers ADORE this culture war.

They're ALREADY modeling how the rioting plays for campaign messaging, I promise you.

Also, 103,000 Americans are dead.
