    i disagree with the “He” caused anything to begin with. There was no concensus to follow and information was conflicting.
    If he had shut it down and nothing came of it, people would have said he ruined the economy.

    Regarding lives,

    I'm saying that if those who imply he caused deaths with inaction, then they should hold ground and say he is now saving lives due to promoting a potential cure.
    What I'm saying is that it matters not the situation or the outcome. Some will blame him for anything and everything.

    hind site is 20/20 but it seems today everyone can see the future and expect the president to do the same.


    What I'm saying is i prefer discussions aBout facts and realities, rather than opinions aNd sensationalism, when it comes to political debates.

    when the right is proposed to providing links, its usually done, or even offered without a request. When some on the other side are asked, “ you are a smart man, do your own research...” is the typical response...

    its comical.


    Like tiger king was comical.

    Yes. But doctors are free to prescribe approved meds for whatever reason they want.

    She should ask her doctor about zinc and how much she can take if any.

    Trump is the least important element in the fight against this global pandemic....he will continue to blab and politicize the issue looking for praise. Same old script. Fortunately there are people who know what they're dealing with that are trying to stem this thing....being late to the game because of poll numbers is on our leadership but that's ancient history at this point....we need to support our medical professionals with all we've got now. I read the Lego toy company is now making face shields and masks...a lot of groups are trying to turn it around at least

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    "There isn't any iceberg.
    There was an iceberg but it's in a totally different ocean.
    The iceberg is in this ocean but it will melt very soon.
    There is an iceberg but we didn't hit the iceberg.
    We hit the iceberg, but the damage will be repaired very shortly.
    The iceberg is a Chinese iceberg.
    We are taking on water but every passenger who wants a lifeboat can get a lifeboat, and they are beautiful lifeboats.
    Look, passengers need to ask nicely for the lifeboats if they want them.
    We don't have any lifeboats, we're not lifeboat distributors.
    Passengers should have planned for icebergs and brought their own lifeboats.
    I really don't think we need that many lifeboats.
    We have lifeboats and they're supposed to be our lifeboats, not the passengers' lifeboats.
    The lifeboats were left on shore by the last captain of this ship.
    Nobody could have foreseen the iceberg."

    Trump was told this was coming he was warned and he ignored those warnings. He cost lives. He in fact wanted to let the virus just sweep over the country and let those who would die, die.

    You make a moot argument. To say what if nothing happened, when it did happen, in worse case scenario fashion I might add.

    But, lets make the argument for the hell of it. If he had taken action and nothing happened, he would still get flak, but he could at least been a president of action, he could have acted to save the people he represents. There is no shame in that.

    There is shame in not acting and causing people to die.

    Maybe he has saved some lives by promoting the medicine, and perhaps will save more. It is yet to be seen. It doesn't make up for the lives he has already cost.

    Yeah, but that doesn't mean much. The Byzantine Empire was easy on approving drugs.

    "I was the first to call it an iceberg
    When the ship rises again it will be beautiful
    All the passengers want to get back on the ship
    I didn't give the abandon ship order but I can command everyone to get back on board"

    Trump won't listen to medical nor scientific experts on Covid-19.

    Trump owns this failure, it is all on him.

    But Chris, There have been links showing mostly the opposite of what you say in your first sentence. The links, to the quotes, which are the facts, show confliction and some saying beware, and some saying continue as normal.

    Yet your post here provided nothing to back your post up.

    The only reason I said what if nothing happened if he shut it down, is because this is the reaction from the radicals filled with hatred. Reality matters not. Just blind rage creating the ability to twist anything and everything to Trump caused it if its bad or had nothign to do with it if its good.

    All you have to do is read some of these threads and comments to see that it is a fact some people are denying things and its of my opinion its because of their blind, rage filled hatred.

    You are my bro man, I gotta say it like it is... or how I see it at least. :)

    It's funny because Jim Acosta asked him on Friday if he would listen to the scientists and he said of course. Obviously he's not doing it. No surprise there.

    Trump says the fire Fauci tweet basically came from somebody else.

    Yeah, when you “retweet” something, it’s coming from someone else. Lol

    He is especially orange today. Does this mean he is over heated? What an ass! Dr. Fauci really knows something about infectious disease and Trump still believes he is a leader who can be trusted.

    He’s totally melting down on live tv today. Embarrassing. This is all amazing. He’s making things up again.

    It may have already been posted, but the left coast states are 'coordinating' future Covid policy:

    https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavi...nate-reopening-from-coronavirus-shutdown.html

    it's left unstated, but with 5 east coast states, led by Democratic governors, making the a similar joint statement, it's probable these statements were in part a response to trump claiming he has broad power that overrides governors. That's bullshit of course, but unsurprising considering the source
