% of U.S. adults who say Trump is doing an excellent job at responding to the virus.

[elartman1973]

Uh no. You think Trump could’ve locked down the country like China did? They basically declared martial law over there, and that’s easy to pull off when you have a dictatorship.

All trolling aside... I’m not even gonna say that Trump did an amazing, stellar job here. But if you’re using China as a comparison then of course he looks bad... every country with the virus looks bad right now in comparison to China. I’ll bet North Korea has things under control too...

Trump wishes he was a dictator....and he did absolutely fuck up from the start and has been trying to cover his ass ever since

Politics aren’t your thing, guy. If I want an Angulo’s opinion on the subject then I’ll hit up your mom or the head of the family Jorge.

Another deflection.
Explain how he didn't fuck up?
Specifically when giving all our masks and other shit we needed to China because he said we weren't threatened here and didn't need them...and now we are severely shorthanded...how is that not a fuck up?
And this isn't politics its basic common sense

[Repeat3peat]

You really believe China has fewer cases?

I thought you were smarter than that tbh.

I don’t Believe Chinas transparency on this at all...I’m not sure I believe ours either....The fact remains Trump was told to do something (like we are now) in January and he sat on his ass, called it a democratic hoax etc. All I’m sayin’

You mean when he shut down inbound flights from China in January, only preceded by North Korea and Italy?

If you think those were the ONLY steps on the table...or being done as of now, I don’t know what to tell you. He was ridiculously and embarrassingly behind on all of this from the jump.

C’mon bro....YOU are smarter than this.... How many days ago was it that he was still saying he wanted things to start ramping back up by what Easter...? <——Paraphrasing.

February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
February 25: “We have very few people with it, and the people that have it are … getting better. They’re ALL getting better!”
February 26: “The 15 cases within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.” “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 26: "This is a flu" and that “whatever happens, we’re totally prepared.”
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”

March 4: "But I closed the borders, against the advice of a lot of people. And it turned out to be a very wise decision."
March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 5: "This virus only hit the US three weeks ago”.

March 6: “I hear the numbers getting much better in Italy.”
March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. The tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right?
March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
March 6: “I like the numbers being where they are. I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault,” "I hate to do it statistically, because it makes us look bad."
March 6: "Maybe the Coronavirus improved US jobs numbers?”
March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
March 13: About disbanding the CDC infectious disease task force. “When you say me, I didn’t do it. We have a group of people… You say we did that, but I don’t know anything about it.”
March 13: “As you know Europe was just designated as the hot spot right now, and we closed that border a while ago so that was lucky or through talent or through luck… call it whatever you want.” The travel ban had not even been implemented yet.
March 13: “I asked them that same question, and they said, ‘You don’t have any symptoms whatsoever."
March 13: “National emergency, two big words.”
March 13: "I take no responsibility at all."

That’s not even taking into account that he fired three members of the CDC in his early days as POTUS...one of which dealt directly with China the congo Haiti etc. and never replace them.

So wait... Trump should have been giving Americans a Daily Doomsday Report instead, to fuel even more uncertainty and worry throughout the country (like that half-a-fag Governor of CA predicting 2 weeks ago that 23-million Californians would have the virus by now???).

Sorry, but that's EXACTLY what his Lefty Loser Haters want/ed... for America/ns to come apart at the seams in a massive state of panic and chaos nationwide. That's the ONLY chance the Dems have of winning, and they know it. They would rather the country collapse just to spite Trump.

Fortunately for us, Trump didn't fall for their deplorable tactics.
