Except your truth is a lie. He claimed the media blowing it out of proportion for political purposes was a hoax, and never delayed anything. He responded with a travel ban that was criticized by liberals as xenophobic. If you can't come up with anything other than untrue statements, maybe you should open your eyes and realize the President is doing as good a job as possible? Nah, haters would rather hate.
He didn't ban travel to and from China; he excluded a small portion of those travelers.
His early message was that the entire virus was a "hoax" to divert attention from all the "good work" he was doing.
His early dismantling of the NSC contagious disease and pandemic unit delayed the response. His administration's abandonment of the pandemic playbook delayed the response.
He is only just now beginning to abandon his posturing and allowing the scientists to do their work unfettered.
You need to stop believing everything you hear from the White House and the zealots.
If the job he has been doing is as good as possible, we're in deep stuff.
Does anybody find it ironic that Trump has been pushing back for weeks against the idea of a nationwide shutdown saying it was the state's responsibility and then yesterday abruptly doing an about face saying the president has absolute authority to lift the shutdown for the entire country?
Can you imagine the howls of outrage if Obama had asserted such authority?

He wants credit for the positive and feel-good events (opening up), while avoiding responsibility for the negative (closing down). Typical Trump.
I find a bit of ironic humor in the fact that the GOP has been advocating for State's Rights for years, yet Senior GOP Politicians are now complaining that the States are not falling in line behind the President on his Coronavirus stance.
Oh well, the most pressing issue is to minimize the number of deaths. Political beliefs be damned.
They flip-flop ALL THE TIME and the media never calls them out on it
The governors are responsible for the welfare of their states. However, should the states cease their authority and give to the President in times of uncertain crisis? If Trump made mandates on how we should govern, then there would be a systematic, coherent way of fighting the virus.
Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution states: “the United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence” How’s the role to guarantee the states a Republican form of government being exercise if the states have the untrammeled ability to restrict movement, speech and religion?
I know that Courts have been extremely reluctant to construe this provision since it invites endless Court entanglement in State-Federal relations. Is now the time?
On yesterday (4-14-20) Trump said he was having a conference call with the governors. Mostly to discuss when and how the country will open back up for business. I'm glad that there is a conversation going on. How effective? That's another question...

I bet this is a stunt by Trump, (he has no intention of re opening anything soon, every health official and health group are saying its going to be awhile...and we are supposed to believe Trump wants to blow the experts off and do it anyway? LOL Yeah right!
In my opinion, he is making an aggressive attempt to re open places, for the sole purpose of being able to point back at this time, when he aggressively trying to get people back to work...its a stunt, so he can have a talking point 8 months down the road to rub in everyones face who debates him...He will say over and over again, "I tried to get everyone back to work, I tried very hard".
Its all smoke and mirrors from these guys, you cannot trust a single thing they say publicly...Great example of this is when this first started, Trump is on camera NUMEROUS times, downplaying the virus, telling people its nothing at all to worry about, we have it totally under control were his words.
