Meanwhile, Trump diverts attention away from the disaster he created with a lame "delay the election" tweet. And from the looks of it, the diversion has worked. Look at all the runaway threads this morning about that subject, while the collapse of the economy is largely ignored.
Trump creates new dumpster fires to divert attention from another existing dumpster fire. Typical Trump.
Hysteria? LOL. yeah. 150K (and rising) dead is hysteria.
Is the GDP plunge concerning? Absolutely! And if we had competent leadership we might only have a few thousand deaths and be on the road to recovery.
How can you even say this ? Look around the globe, no country has escaped this virus. With the exception of a few, pretty much every country is getting it's ass kicked.
What are you comparing to ? Just curious. We are a country of 330 million, and we've got roughly 150k deaths. There really isn't any way to compare our country apples to apples to another.
Adding several together to get close to our population would be a fair comparison.
Spain 46 million 28,000 deaths
UK 66 million 45,000 deaths
Germany 82 million 9000 deaths
France 67 million 30,000 deaths
Italy 60 million 35,000 deaths
These countries combined have a population total of 321 million, and 147,000 total covid deaths. So, tell me again, how much worse Trump has done than any other country ? Go ahead though, and blame it on Trump though

Here's a better idea, let's take an example of a nation that actually handled it well from your list:
Germany. 82 million 9k deaths.
If we had reacted with comparible competence to Germany, we would be around 36,000 deaths. I guess I am just old fashioned in wanting America to be the A+ student in class rather than the D+/C- student. I don't really care to be graded on a curve with the likes of Brazil on this, maybe that's the standard you think we should shoot for - I disagree.
Looks like China's plan is working. Release a virus, let politics destroy the economy..... let them rise to the #1 economy once the dust settles..and no , its not Trumps fault. Its the state governments that did the shutdowns.

Fair enough. There are many factors though that made Germany more successful. Better prepared health care system, smaller , denser population that could be tested faster. And probably the most important one, a population willing to comply. Here we have a population that fights over wearing a mask, spring breakers, and none stop protests going on across the country. Think that has anything to do with it ? In many cases, we are our own worst enemy.

Was an incredibly stupid POTUS who would play along and help the virus spread part of their plan? Or did they just luck out in that regard?
