Thought this was a COVID-19 Pandemic mismanagement thread. But yes, his underplaying the virus and not having a coherent national plan placed the death toll from the pandemic on his shoulders as President of the United States.

I wonder why so many States ignored this "directive" given only 12 stupids stupidly took the same action as Cuomo. And funny that Cuomo rescinded his policy in May. If he could ignore federal "directives" in May, why couldn't he in March?

Over 180,000 COVID-related deaths in the US as of today, per the CDC itself. Are you saying it's actually 10,000, do I understand you correctly?

I kind of wish Biden would have made that gaffe...

Because the Trumpers would have not only said that it demonstrated the Biden had dementia. They would have made a differential diagnosis on what KIND of dementia it represented.

And yeah -- he's trying to get Obamacare killed by the courts. That means that the pre-existing conditions would be killed.

He has a plan but hasn't done anything with it.

Share the plan sir.

"Share the plan sir." Sorry, the fed government is NOT responsible for every Americans heath care plan.

The virus is not his fault. The economic down turn is not his fault. The stock market rebouding is not his 'fault' -- lol.

We know that.

But what is his shortcoming -- a clear, consistent plan and policy to help the country mitigate the spread and get back to normal.

So true. But with Trump, it's just an "oopsie".

I agree - you don't promise what you can't deliver. If he never had a plan in place (which is glaringly obvious at this point), then he should never have said he had a wonderful plan that would cover everyone. Sure, every candidate makes campaign promises. However, there was an existing healthcare plan in place at the time, however flawed, and he crippled that one. Now he has nothing that he promised to replace it. Big mistake.
