The Observer 641 Posted February 26, 2020 Another perfect example of me posting about the thread subject and a half-dozen members getting frustrated because they have no legitimate counter argument so they start personal attacks.

Baker Boy 1,691 Posted February 26, 2020 1 hour ago, The Observer said: I think his point is that there is a global crisis going on. One that Trump refuses to address seriously because he's scared that drop in the market might reflect poorly on his approval ratings. He's dragged his feet on addressing this when any other president would have had a dedicated task force in place a month or two ago. But he has time to retweet a fart video and go golfing. It's rare that having a childish idiot as our president makes much difference in our actual day to day lives, but when a serious incident arises where it actually does matter, it would be real nice to have an actual leader in place and not a childish self-serving moron. 4 minutes ago, The Observer said: I thought I already answered this. He's handled it perfectly. Loser! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,912 Posted February 26, 2020 Poor observer...getting pounded for saying stupid things. Look sweetie if you want to run for the hills about a virus not even as deadly as the flu you certainly can. But sorry taking 2 quotations in trying to put them together as fact is pretty pathetic.

The Observer 641 Posted February 26, 2020 Very curious to see if this plays out with his health departments like it did with his intelligence departments. He obviously has an agenda he wants to push concerning this virus. Downplay it. Fool Americans into thinking they have nothing to worry about. He knows that the strong economic numbers are the only thing helping his chances to get reelected. The CDC is trying to get ahead of this and warn our citizens about what could lie ahead. That is a major conflict. Will he be sending the signal to all CDC members that loyalty to him is more important than the people's health? Are they going to have to choose? Like our intelligence personnel does? Will heads of departments lose their job if they tell the truth? How about ones that thought they were doing their job and already did? Get yer popcorn ready.

It doesn't really matter if it was his fault or not. If the economy is in the toilet come November it will hurt him at the polls. I'm not sure he would lose because of it but It won't help him. He has hung his entire presidency on the economy and unemployment rate. If those both go south then it won't bode well for him imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't be Trump's fault. Much of the economy has nothing to do with the President. He inherited 7 straight years of economic growth and has kept it going at essentially the exact same pace. But he tries promoting the lie that he turned around a bad economy. Trump has never had a single day in office with an approval rating over 50%. No one has ever been that bad. And that's with a great economy. Trump knows he can't survive without that great economy. He has done more to artificially prop it up than any president in history. Because his life depends on it. Possibly literally. He could well be indicted by the SDNY if he becomes a regular citizen in January. He needs to lie to the people to try to keep consumer bliss going. And the market from crashing. Even though the crash would be just like most of the success- nothing to do with him- those numbers are all he has to run on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 641 Posted February 26, 2020 2 minutes ago, drobeski said: Lol 51 % yesterday https://m.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/political_updates/prez_track_feb26 There are 7 polls who are considered legimate offerings of presidential approval. Economist/YouGov, Rasmussen, Rueters, Politico, Emerson, ABC News, NBC News Out of the 7, Rasmussen is the only one showing a 50% approval. The highest among the others is 48% with the lowest being 43%. Rasmussen is widely criticized because its results largely comes from land line phones. Yes, old people. I'm actually surprised his approval isn't much higher with the land line folks. Also, in the 2018 election, Rasmussen predicted that Republicans would win the general ballot by 1%. They actually LOST by 9%. The ten point discrepancy was the largest polling error of all the firms. Not that I blame you for choosing Rasmussen. I would too if I were you.
