Trump had no power then or now to order social distancing nationally. Period. I understand this and the racial division is your new election tool. It may win, it may not; but, it's untrue.
    A national emergency demands a national response. Magical thinking about how it was "just going to disappear" wasn't a response. It was just stupid. He could have ACTED on testing and PPE distribution instead of pitting state against state in a bidding war. And he could have had much more influence with early opening clown governors in FL, TX, GA, AZ than he did.

    Additionally, he could have encouraged everyone to listen to the recommendations of the SCIENCE and HEALTH EXPERTS. Instead, he sidelined them and downplayed what they said.

    One leads by EXAMPLE. Trump is a crappy leader. So here we are ... AGAIN

    As I said, you've made that perfectly clear: you hate him. We are a republic. He may or may not have been able to influence those people but this is pure campaigning. There's no blood on his hands.

    The COVID came from Europe. Not China. His failure to shut down Europe a month earlier than he did was a tragic error. Three million people came here (mostly to NYC) AFTER the China ban.

    And you LOVE him obviously. Plenty of blood my friend. It was botched from the get-go, which is why we've failed entirely while every other country has succeeded.

    That's not a defense trigger. That is just Severe TDS.

    Bo, you know me better than that. I don't love him, obviously. It has always been about the lesser of two evils with me. With what the lefties want to do, Americans will have to ask themselves whether they'll be better off the day after the inauguration than they will be with Trump or Biden (you know, green new deal, new tax increases, open borders, free tuition for all.... I am confident that this national meltdown has caused some to wonder if the D's are truly crazy.)
