I thank God for Dr. Fauci, he single-handedly has saved America.

Fauci was literally the first person we heard the term "social distancing" from during this pandemic, and it appears to be working hear in America.

Donald Trump was the idiot who wanted churches to reopen on Easter Sunday, which is five days from now. We are approaching 1,000 deaths a day now in the US, and Trump wanted to reopen the USA in five days. Moron.

Thank you, Dr. Fauci. He's been with NIH for 37 years, a career government public health official. He's the expert and he's the one who helped save American lives.

"Social distancing" started with Fauci.

The local response is far more important. There is very little credit or blame for Trump when it comes to this natural disaster. Most local leaders outside of NY have done a very good job and deserve the praise for it.

Not Trump. Governors Inslee and many others. Trump was too busy telling people everything was fine and golfing. I know that, you know that, we all know that. But for people with full-blown cases of TDS it hurts too much to admit the truth so you make up stories to make your hero look good.

When did any democrat leader do anything before Trump acted ?
Answer: Not a thing. They were too busy trying to impeach him. Still are.

By your logic, the fact Trump didn't launch nukes and start WW3 also saved countless American lives.

But if you set your baseline as to when he (finally) started being an effective follower, rather than a misinformed, disruptive "leader", then yeah, he's come around and saved some lives compared to the trajectory he was on.


I wish he had done better in the beginning, but I'm glad he's finally coming around. Still don't like him, and still think he could be doing a much better job, but certainly he's doing better than HE was doing a month or two ago.

Others look up the word "jump" in the dictionary and claim they were the first to act !!!
