    LOL at Trump treating it as an “electoral issue” as the Democrats were mocking him for being racist and defying federal guidelines solely to shtick it to Trump. deBlasio and Cuomo needlessly killed thousands and infected many more solely because Trump was being a meanie racist and calling it the “China Flu.” Get the fuck outta here with that weakass 20/20 hindsight. Trump hasn’t been perfect but he sure as hell isn’t the main person to blame for New York and San Francisco.

    Look at it however you like, but it's not hindsight on my part. I was saying that a month before you signed up here.

    Or just let the media and local governments put everyone in hysterics, throw millions out of work, cause uncounted deaths from other causes, lie about stats in order to justify the actions taken, move the goal posts several times, give inconsistent messages, give up to the minute death counts, silence those with a different approach or thoughts. Toss in a race war and allow nightly riots because it's protected speech and saw things like racism is bigger public health threat than the virus. And cheer for more death and economic misery in order to move a political ideology.

    That's worked well.
    Top that off with a leader who is in way over his head and scared to take responsibility for anything that might damage his brand name.
    I honestly don't disagree.
    How is Trump in over his head? What does he need to take responsibility for that he's afraid will damage his brand name?
    I've given my opinion on that many tims. Trump treated it as an electoral politics issue in March, thereby feeding the oppositional energy (which would have existed anyway to a degree) and taking attention anyway from nuts & bolts governance and response efforts.
    Is this when the NYC Health Director and deBlasio were encouraging people to get out and about? Why yes, it was. Totally Trump’s fault!

    New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s repeated comments downplaying the coronavirus
    In my view, it was a failure of leadership at all level. Trump on down.
    But you can’t cite any specifics.

    Fair enough but this whole COVID-19 issue is bullshit and is 100% political. Trump is up against the entire world and IMO he's allowed to play the game like every other politician. Why are Democrats and Rhinos always given a pass? We both know the answer to that question and until both sides are allowed to play by the same rules, there's going to be civil unrest in this country and it's going to get worse if that's possible.

    So Trump is responsible for not doing what countless administrations failed to do before him while 100% of his time was consumed fighting off treasonous accusations of being in bed with the Russians to steal an election? If he failed at all, it was in trusting anyone who had ever worked 1 day in the government to guide him.
