Trump has been doing a good job with slowing the virus spread here in the US but I wish he would lay off Twitter and let Pence and his guys do their jobs.

So 2/3 of people here are Democrats? Hmmm...

Yes, let an anti scientist like Pence do his job. He’ll probably start by burning witches at the stake.

At least Trump played a lot of golf this weekend.
Is it his job to manage the coronavirus? I thought that fell under the CDC and the WHO.

Your poll shoule ask if the person voting is voting for Trump or not...or at least if the person is a Democrat or Rep.

The technique to slow the numbers -- not have tests available -- may blow up in his face.

Come next week or whenever tests are available in most communities we may see a drastic up tick in the number of cases and that won't look good.

Meanwhile here in South Carolina we went from 2 to 6 cases in 24 hours.

You mean the same places that Trump has gutted to save a few bucks because he doesn’t believe in preparedness against pandemics? How’s that “savings” working out now??

It’s thus true that the Trump administration axed the executive branch team responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic and did not replace it, eliminating Ziemer’s position and reassigning others, although Bolton was the executive at the top of the National Security Council chain of command at the time.

This is in and of itself nearly a criminal act by Trump and at the very least an act of ultimate stupidity.

No, three years ago we had Russian interference and support for Trump that never happened.

Two years ago we had a crisis at the border that the left kept insisting was not a crisis.
Last year we had an impeachment and removal scheme that just fell apart.
Now he's "tweeting distractions", although we don't know what they are or even why they are distractions.

Yes, that's EXACTLY what he's going to do.

Good grief, is there ANY event serious enough that will cause you people to step back and re-evaluate your rhetoric and your TDS?

The CDC head is one of Trump's minions. Thus, the mishandling of the virus at the outset. It's all about the economy and the narrative, you know.

He contributed to the mess.
