I have Trump's press conference on TV right now, and I have watched most, if not all of them over the past 5-6 days. Why can't he give a press conference without bragging? He can't seem to speak without the use of adjectives such as great, tremendous, incredible, wonderful, unthinkable, outstanding, fantastic. (I wrote those words as he said them.) I can't imagine that any leader would not have advisors who would tell him how immature he comes across.
The man speaks in superlatives -- most grown-ups realized this long ago and have adjusted their expectations accordingly. And he doesn't just reserve them for himself, he also heaps them on others.
perhaps we do need a President like that. But whom do you suggest Bernie or Joe who speak of open borders and free healthcare too illegals. That sure will help keep Americans safe from the Corona Virus, its not like our Medical Capabilities are already unprepared for it. Once again its not Trump vs some great Democrat ready to unit us all. It's Trump vs two elderly white guys, one a socialist who never earned a dollar not associated with Government and the other who is heading down the trail of mental failure. Princess Leia was right perhaps Obi Wan Kenobi is our only hope. Unfortunately he is just as mythical as that Great Dem. Candidate so many seem to keep thinking is out there.
Open borders and free healthcare to illegal immigrants are the least of my worries, and have nothing to do with the Coronavirus. You know, back when my great-grandparents came here from Ireland and Austria-Hungary, they didn't have illegal immigrants. They allowed anyone in as long as you didn't have a disease.

So we should all live in the past B/C nothing should ever change ?
That comment reminds me of the 2nd Amendment discussions about the militia and fighting a tyrannical government.
Based on the policies of the leading democrat candidates, if elected, they will be a tyrannical government willing to use force against law abiding citizens on the 2nd amendment issue !!! But they won't stop there and have been leading the attack on other amendments and the constitution itself !!!
They seem quite willing to roll out the red carpet for the noncitizens at the same time !!! They have clearly lost their way on governing this country !!! A government that doesn't want to work for its own citizens is a tyrannical government !!! Did you know that ?
The emergence of tyranny therefore begins with challenges to a group, develops into general feelings of insecurity and inadequacy, and falls into a pattern in which some individuals assume the role of "father" to the others, who willingly submit to becoming dependent "children" of such persons if only they are reassured that a more favorable outcome will be realized. This pattern of co-dependency is pathological, and generally results in decisionmaking of poor quality that makes the situation even worse, but, because the pattern is pathological, instead of abandoning it, the co-dependents repeat their inappropriate behavior to produce a vicious spiral that, if not interrupted, can lead to total breakdown of the group and the worst of the available outcomes.
In psychiatry, this syndrome is often discussed as an "authoritarian personality disorder". In common parlance, as being a "control freak".
Control freak is a fitting term for democrat leaders today !!! Cradle to grave !!! They believe they know how to live your life better than you do !!! They want power to force people into compliance !!! The 2nd amendment is one example !!!
I heard he is now claiming that he knew this was a serious pandemic before most everyone else. The guy who up until yesterday wasn't taking it seriously at all. And the cult, no doubt, will believe this without question. Everyone else knows better.
to be fair, in just days of hearing of this in China, he closed travel from there.

the left called him a bigot for doing it.
Actually he didn't quite "close travel from there."
Quote:
Italy imposed a ban on flights from China on 31 January, immediately after a Chinese couple in Rome tested positive for the virus. The U.S. began to restrict flights from China four days later. But while Italy enacted a full ban, the U.S. policy was only a restriction, with wide exemptions.
On February 4 the U.S. State Department issued a level 4 travel advisory mandating that foreign citizens who had been to China be turned away, and Americans who had been to China must undergo screening and possibly be put in quarantine for 14 days. But the restrictions contained wide exemptions, largely because of fears over the economic impacts of a full ban. Flight routes between the U.S. and China have been steadily cancelled over the past month, but in a piecemeal fashion and at the discretion of airlines.
By contrast, the Italian ban four days earlier was complete, with no exemptions. Italy was the first and only EU country to have a flight ban from China, and yet the country is now the epicenter of the Coronavirus outbreak in Europe with the highest number of cases outside China.

Well, it only closed travel for foreigners. As if the virus wouldn't dare attach itself to an American as he came and went.
So it was not only bigoted, but useless.
