No matter what Trump did, you'd blame him anyway.

Let's face it, if we have had a democrat president, the travel ban would have never taken place.

Mistakes made by ALL countries, move on and do our best. sheesh.

So national emergency declaration is a good thing, but the following picking of winners and losers sort of nonsense that just says "hey you can profit off this emergency-and profit obscenely well" is the sort of thing that makes us create our own coronovirus test, and then find out its flawed meanwhile the rest of the world uses different design-which was offered to us to use for free" And set us bk weeks. And a refusal to allow us to buy tests from other countries.


America first isn't always corporations first.

I honestly doubt there were any restrictions that actually impacted the production of the tests in a timely fashion that could not have been overcome with the current authority provided to Trump. Its simply a convenient excuse for why they've failed so badly to date.

It wouldn't matter if they did catch it from the microphone, they are all healthy people who can easily recover.

I have a feeling that ALL of them have been tested (and they should)

Trump did not tell the public that he has been tested, because he didn't want to give the public the message that everybody NEEDS to be tested.

What is the chance a president won't get a test done? I say zero.

Congress does not set rules.
