The implication of your remarks seems to be that conservatives will look after their own best interests, but don't give a hoot about the interests of anyone else.

Mid-December reports about a new Corona Virus are circulating. Roughly 2 weeks later containment measures are taken, a travel ban is put into effect, the search for a vaccine begins. All this while the W.H.O organization ran interference for China. China continues to deny there is a problem. If you honestly think this could have been handled better, earlier by Trump you are delusional.

Trump disbanded the NSC pandemic unit. Even Fauci couldn't understand why he did that.

For the first time in his presidency, he’s MOSTLY behaving like an adult.

So I’ll lay off the criticisms for now.

You wish that's what I said, so you can put your victim mentality on display. Conservatives have just as much right to look after their own best interest as lefties do. In this nation, we vote for the change we want to see, when the opportunity presents itself.

Rasmeussen is at 46 -- that's neither good nor bad..it's about the same.

And the longer we are in this - -the lower that approval will go -- (maybe not Rasmeussen)....but overall.

The stimulus package is not enough for the poor and middle class. And what Trump did today to Peter Alexander was appalling and showed exactly why he's no leader. At least Pence showed compassion when he was asked the same question.

Trump referred to the State Department as the Deep State Department, prompting Fauci to put his face in his hand.


My first thought was I hope that Trump doesn't dismiss him from the administration for that lack of fealty. We need him.

I Disclaimer... I support Trump.

I know we’re not at war with another nation or another terrorist group, but we are in a war for our economy and the lives of our citizens.

“I” think it’s un-American not to support the President of the United States during a national crisis that can, if not handle right, cost us our way of life and thousands of American lives.

I’m old enough to remember that I rallied under;

President Carter during the Iranian hostage crisis

President Clinton when we had to bomb Serbia into submission to end the Balkan crisis

President Obama when he order the strike that killed that dog named Osama Bin Ladin

Is Trump perfect or a choir boy? Heck no, but he is definitely the “Bull in the glass shop.” By being that bull, he’s not doing things what a career/professional politician would be doing since he’s getting sheet done. Funny, but all the Left called him a racist for canceling all flights from China and Italy earlier this month... Now, the same people are saying that he waited too long to cancel those flights.

Today, he ordered that both the northern and southern borders be sealed and only essential to be allowed... I’m sure on the Sunday news shows, he’ll be called a racist again... A word of advice to the Left. Quit using the word “racist” since you, the Left, have basically devalued that word where nobody pays any attention to it... Case and point, calling Chinese food... Chinese, that’s now racist... What the freak!!

Btw, both Biden and Sanders both stayed, on the record, that they wouldn’t have cancelled ANY flights from China or close our borders... Only to be proven wrong by every single official within the CDC.

“I” have full faith that Trump is doing the things possible with what we have to fight this virus.

Funny, the Left AND the American media are fine with giving China a free pass for causing this global pandemic... BUT!! Somehow Trump is at fault for this virus?? Give me a freaking break. The sad thing is that the Left has phoocked this up by lying about everything. And just given Trump four more years in the Whitehouse.

Congratulations to the Left and the Far-Left. I hope you enjoy watching Trump for the next 4.5 years as your President... And no, you’re not going anywhere, I wish you would, but there are not too many “solid and safe” countries that want Americans to live with them, but they’re cool with you being a tourist and spending $$$$$$.

Btw, not a single Hollywood star who said they’d move to Canada or where ever, if Trump is elected... Not a single one of these “stars” have left the country.

I still don't support him. At the end of the day, he's still a clown, and a Republican clown at that
