Trump Did Not Cause The COVID-19 Pandemic

But he sure has fucked up how the US has handled it.

Trump claimed he “always viewed” coronavirus as a “pandemic long before it was called a pandemic” despite repeatedly minimizing and mocking concern about the threat it posed to Americans. Since January, Trump has boasted that “we have it totally under control”; that “one day” the coronavirus will “disappear” like a “miracle”; that “it’s going to work out fine” because of the “warm weather” in April; that coronavirus is a “new hoax” by Democrats; and to “Just stay calm. It will go away.” (New York Times / CNBC / Politico)

He could have done several things differently, but he has done a lot of good things. And I hope even you see how right he was about China now.

We’ve always known China to be bad, even in its own self-interests if it’s people.

But the way he focuses more on the economy and not the people is disturbing. Sounds like China during the first weeks of the leak of the virus news.

You cannot effectively lead people through a crisis by providing in accurate or misleading information. I understand Trump not wanting to create panic, but he did a huge disservice to the American people by disregarding the expert advice he received from his own health officials and downplaying the whole thing. We’ve seen this before (Trump - Who knew health care was so complicated? Everyone else - we did!).

Bottom line, if you have faith that this guy can effectively manage this crisis, you must be delusional or disregarding the facts.

yep, disregarded the virus and banned travel from china...caught soo much flack for it...even your president nominee called it out as racist.

give me a fucking break...there is no perfect actions dealing with this shit, but can you honestly say biden would be the guy here to lead this?

think he would be standing up to china?

you are forgetting where we were going into this thing as a country...we were strong and already decoupling from china...imagine where we would be without all this


keep throwing your hate and blame out there...biden just might be the next guy up...we know that is your aim
