President Trump

Right, not sure how you can argue that lockdown isn’t necessary because we can curb this with better testing or experimental treatments. But then say that it wouldn’t have made a difference if we started preparing earlier to bolster our testing infrastructure of have a head start on validating treatments.

 

I agree

 

"I'm a registered Republican."

"I've donated 900 or whatever masks."

You sure have a perfect response for all your sympathetic b/s. What's next? You're working on the vaccine?

 

I know of people who have become severely ill because of these mistakes. I get what you're saying but Im not sure you're seeing my point. There are people who WOULD NOT have gotten sick if the proper measure where put in place. Not only by Trump, but by the CDC and local government

 

LOL. You just showed what you are. Now I understand why most people on here can't stand you. I was asked what part im doing
to help the problem, so I answered. I already wiped the floor with you. Move on.

 

It’s one thing to think that, but to say it out loud?

might just lose every vote in those states, but those incumbents might also not be re-elected due to ineptitude.

guy has no filter

 

What’s the context. It’s only 20 sec. What is he saying or trying to say.

 

The full context is at the end of this Breitbart clip starting at 4 min 55 secs



In essence, Trump doesn't talk to either the Governors of Washington or Michigan since they don't like him. He let's Mike Pence call them instead.

I don't see anything childish in what Trump is doing. If somebody doesn't like you, it makes more sense to have to have somebody else in your administration make the call. Otherwise, the call is a waste of time.

 

He doesn't have time to waste on their foolishness and political agendas when he's trying to do what is best for the country as a whole. If leaders don't step up right now, then they aren't leaders and shouldn't be.

Wanted a career in politics? You're welcome to the greatest proving ground ever.

 

Ahh gotcha.

 

I get you, but I do find it a bit refreshing having someone in the office who is a straight shooter and isn’t just fulfilling a role that’s actually run by the lobbyists and special interests. He’s uncouth, rough around the edges, and says what’s on his mind as opposed to being a puppet and saying what he is told to say. That’s how I view the presidency, but hey that’s just me.

 

Strait shooter? Respectfully disagree completely considering his head in the sand comments for weeks beore the virus got here. Consider myself fairly conservative and am registered independent I found out this past local election ... thought it was Republican. But he was sure as hell not straight shooting the nation about covid-19 readiness or just inexcusably ignorant and not listening to the scientists.

 

Yeah great quote.

My take is that Trump’s presidency has made me question whether we need to be asking those questions. That maybe crawling back to establishment politics might offer more stability and short term policies that help a good number of Americans incrementally.

Which is obviously not the correct approach. We do need to be asking the questions of why our politics has failed us so we can figure out a new way forward.

But when we have a petty egomaniac whose lack of preparedness is exacerbating a terrible crisis, I do start to think that maybe a senile old man being puppeteered by corporate democrats might be the lesser of two evils.

My main concern there is the same one I had with Hillary. I fear Biden’s presidency will usher in complacency. For example, they’ll give us some half baked public option for healthcare and point to how many more people it’s insured, maybe cancel some student loan debt. They’ll essentially buy our loyalty while slyly continuing to enact policies that enable corporations to keep us under their thumb.

So when I think of it like that, I start to wonder if 8 years of getting entrenched in that is really better than putting up with 4 more years of Trump. Maybe it’s better in the long term to have Trump continuing to burn things down for the next 4 years and pray that someone more capable emerges in 2024 who can truly change things.

It’s mind boggling that these are the choices we’re given when the country and world is at such a crossroads.
