This is the first non-self-induced crisis that Trump has faced. He needs to put the safety of our citizens ahead of his campaigning. He might even get rewarded with more votes/better approval rating if he just tried it one time. I'm sure you agree with the highly qualified Dude on the radio.

Baker Boy 1,477 Posted February 27, 2020 The Dems are politicalizing the coronavirus and scaring the crap out of all of their sheep. They are scared chitless because they never check the facts. The mortality rate of 2% for people with the coronavirus means that 98% of the people who get it recover from it. The younger you are the less chance you have of dying. The mortality rate for SARS was 10%. The mortality rate for MERS was 34%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 641 Posted February 27, 2020 Here's all just one of you needed to say this whole thing started:. "I would like to see Trump be a leader right now and forget the political bulshit for once". That's it. Just one of you. And I would have had a little bit of respect for you. Not a single one would go out of lockstep with Trump. And that's f****** pathetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Observer 641 Posted February 27, 2020 Here's the bottom line, Trump never fails at missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity. With the Democratic race looking like a shitshow, Trump was gift-wrapped an opportunity to actually be a leader and be presidential. And to look like he has the American citizens best interests in mind. And instead, he took a giant s*** on his opportunity. And once again couldn't resist an opportunity to lie to the American people, cover up truths, and blame the Democrats for his own incompetence. If he had handled this the right way, he would have walked into re-election without breaking a sweat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,554 Posted February 27, 2020 4 hours ago, The Observer said: The White house moved on Thursday to tighten control on coronavirus messaging by government health officials and scientists, directing them to clear all statements and public appearances with VP Mike Pence. Dr Anthony Fauri, one of the country's leading experts on viruses and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, told associates that the White House instructed him not to say anything else without clearance. Ladies and gentleman, we have officially become authoritarian nation. You will only get the information that the dictator wants you to get. Don't expect to be told how many new cases spring up every day. Trump has officially told everyone that he will release the information that he wants released. That's horrible. This Dr. Fauri is the smartest guy in the room whenever the White House does press briefings. It was seeing him take questions next to the president, knowing that the White House was taking advice from him, that gave me full confidence in their response. The man is clearly super knowledgeable and yet makes things easy to understand and sprinkles in a touch humor. Muzzling him is bad sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
