Who do you want in a Pandemic crisis?

Certainly not Trump, between the mis information and now prohibiting news media access to briefings, to an absolute failure in getting test kits out quickly and in bulk; he is pathetic. From the beginning he was more concerned about how this would impact his 2020 run, especially with the reaction in the market. He Downplayed the number of cases, even suggesting the number would very soon go below the initial 15, to suggesting most recently it’s no worse than the common flu and people might even be ok going to work. The ripple effect in the market and economy is hurting everyone and orange man continues to mislead and downplay the seriousness in an effort to keep his base from jumping ship and more importantly help calm the market his shining star.

Take my town of Plymouth, who has now closed all schools, with the students infected on returning from Italy. Good criss planning, when students returning from a hot zone can fly commercial, ride home and just go to school like nothing has happened. Where are the travel guidelines to prevent that from happening, which only spreads this more quickly.

He can't help himself, even claiming his "hunch" says the death rate is wrong...Trump has to set things up on the hope he can claim he's smarter than the scientists. Don't Trust anyone but me.

He can't even not be a con man when lives are on the line.

You ever going to explain why dips in the market aren't good for people who put money in every two weeks, and who are therefore dollar cost averaging?

Fortunately, Trump isn't the national health czar. I want smart people at the CDC and the NIH, and probably more importantly, smart people at the state and local level making decisions. I remember when the virus first broke out, CNN and MSNBC were whining that the experts in a Trump meeting weren't diverse enough. Because, obviously that matters...

When you’re a president who constantly takes credit for stock market gains, take one guess what that means when it tanks.

And then realize that you know you're a bad president when the market gains 1,200 points on Wednesday because it looks like you'll be leaving office in ten months.

the thing is, business leaders are saying his tax cuts and regulation cuts, helped grow the economy. So it’s fair to say he helped. No one is saying he caused the corona virus, and no one except you is saying that this drop is because of Trump, not the virus. Everyone is wrong except you.

The swine flu came during a recession & the dow still trended upwards, whereas the dow is currently tanking. I think this speaks volumes about two different administrations...Investor confidence in government response during the Obama admin, which was still in the throes of a recession at the time, was considerably higher than a recovered economy with PsychoBozo at the helm during an epidemic.

you truly sound ridiculous...
Trump is the one who sounds ridiculous when he contradicts his own CDC experts and he gutted the agencies that are needed and in true Trump fashion, claims we can get those people back quickly. Anyone with a brain knows that’s not true and even our own experts don’t know the extent of the spread due to the lack of testing. No I don’t blame Trump, but guess what it’s his administration. His failure to shut the F up if he isn’t going to relay the truth and be honest about the extent of the problem is not helping. But go ahead and defend him, you three Amigos will be in lock step until he is just another inmate.

Love the judge coming down on Trumps personal attorney Barr, good for him for calling a spade a spade.

the corona virus is brand new, there are no trends yet. it’s been two weeks.

If you judge the guy based on what the market did during his whole tenure and not just the worst two weeks, he gets good grades. The jobs report that came out today blew away expectations.

No one has ever gotten inside someone’s head, like he has gotten in yours. You’re a sick man, and also a bitchslapped bore and a pussy.

AZAR: You won’t believe me, why don’t you talk to Dr Redfield.

REDFIELD: We’ve now shipped out… enough to test 75,000 people at the public health labs now.

TRUMP: Anybody who wants a test can get a test. Anybody that needs a test gets a test…. the tests are all#^&perfect like the letter was#^&perfect.#^&The transcription was perfect.#^&Right?#^&This was not as perfect as that#^&but pretty good.

Now that’s why I call him PsychoBozo

You mock what you don’t understand Zimmy, Dr. Dangles is working off of a “hunch” which is a natural talent of his. Maybe he should have been an infectious disease specialist rather than a childish internet troll.

Actually the virus isn't called Covid 19, that’s the disease caused by the virus.

It’s actually the SARS virus that causes it

Ok tough guy
Your head is stuck so far into PsychoBozo’s butt you’re depriving the few brain cells you have of oxygen.

This is PB’s Hurricane Katrina. He’s been shown to be clueless and ineffective on (1) testing kits, (2) timeline to vaccine, (3) protocols and (4) mortality rate. Worst of all, he’s in denial and that can = disaster.

trump isn’t a doctor. i don’t need him telling me about test kits. i need my pediatrician telling me
about these things, not my potus. was obama all things to you on all subjects?

it’s not his hurricane katrina unless the feeds blow it the way state and local officials blew katrina. i see zero evidence of that, but we are in very early days. by what logic would anyone blame trump for what’s happened so far?

i guess a real tough guy goes after someone’s mom. i’m going after you. you’re a bore, and a whiny little bitch-slapped pussy.

I blame Trump for his misleading spin, all in an effort to lesson the public’s perception of how serious this might either be or become. There are people stating in interviews they feel this is yet another hoax cooked up by the Democrats, where do you think they get that from? Trump as always is more concerned about how this affects him personally, everything he has done since taking office is viewed in that light. Nobody expects Trump to be an expert, but when he contradicts his own scientific experts, there are those that will question the science because the fing president of the USA does.

I love the you constantly ask why doesn’t anyone give Trump credit, the flip side of that argument is also true, other than the occasional complaint about his interactions with people, it’s rare anyone is calling him out on this, or other clearly bad moves. If you don’t think he is really not handling this well; your red hat and coolaid is making you looney.

It is amazing how our so-called health care industry, from the hospitals and all other care centers (best in the world?), our pharmaceutical industry (best in the world?), insurance industry, scientific research centers, high paid "experts" in all of those, we look to the President of the U.S. to prevent or contain or solve a health problem.

Do all those people and industries have to wait for the President to get on the case? I know it is too difficult for most folks to read the Constitution, but a quick perusal of it, or even a studied one, would not find that the President has the responsibility to fix the problem, nor even much, if anything, to do with it.

But, of course, you compassionate Progressives have a different understanding. For you, he's the guy. A great Progressive like FDR, or LBJ, or Obama would have seen to it that we probably wouldn't have had more than 10 or so cases of the virus, if any, by now.
