If that's indicative of his job performance then you must set a very low bar for what you call a "good job". Even though wages have been stagnant and underemployment rampant during his tenure, if we just focus on the stock market gains since January 2017, that will tell you the REAL success story of this presidency! Oh wait... You are sadly misinformed and if you believe the polls you are delusional. Even so, Trumps numbers are better than Obama's were at the same time in their respective presidencies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if “already sick” encompasses things like “former smoker” and “high blood pressure” — under the new guidelines, it’s like 1/3 of the public having high blood pressure — then that’s not much of a comfort. . 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we'll never agree on this, but from my observations, as I've stated too often so I won't belabor it after this, he was more concerned about the economy than the virus. At some point the switch went on, and he realized it would not hurt him if he started leading. Just look at his press conferences and how he changed. In fact, now he uses them as campaign events. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That (which is expected of a leader) wasn't even done. And you somehow know that he didn't take their input in consideration? Were you in the room? Of course he took it into consideration! Or are you of the opinion that he CLOSED AIRLINE TRANSPORTATION FROM THE LARGEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET as some sort of America First travel and tourism holiday?

That's all good. My only point was that there has yet to be single anonymous source report from the WH that's been proven accurate. Especially one talking to Vanity Fair. 1 minute ago, SoCal Deek said: And you somehow know that he didn't take their input in consideration? Were you in the room?

He already admitted he believes Trump closed travel off from China simply for petty and/or racist reasons. Capco is not a serious person. His brain has been rotted by identity politics and four years of unchecked TDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all gone through at least one time where we caught a pretty horrible virus/flue. I think he'll be okay but it's not like he just stormed the beaches of Normandy. As I said before, Cuomo is fortunate he caught the strain of the Cornavirus where the symptoms disappear when he needs to go on TV.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fired two of the very people who knew what to do best, Luciana Borio and Scott Gottlieb. They literally weren't available to provide that information in a formal setting because of his decision making. If he wasn't so damned petty he'd not have fired them, taken their advice into proper consideration, and acted as aggressively as South Korea (or more so). But instead we are left with 4-6 lost weeks because the man in the Oval Office has an ego problem. More people are going to die than would have otherwise.

That (which is expected of a leader) wasn't even done. What makes you think he hasn't taken his subordinates advice into consideration. He has many advisers who most likely gives him conflicting advice. He has to look at all of that advice and make a decision as to what is the best for the country. On what basis can you claim that he didn't take any advice? Edited April 3, 2020 by 3rdnlng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kinda stumbled into a victory on that one, but yes the Dems and MSM were wrong in hindsight. That ban did help and did save lives I believe. This is painful to unbundle. President Trump stumbled into saving hundreds of thousands of lives because he and his admin recognized a hot spot and suddenly enacted racist travel restrictions, and the Dems and MSM were just benignly "wrong" when proclaiming that life as usual was the order of the day? Wrong like a waiter brings you margarine instead of butter? I can't believe you believe this.

The CDC paperwork we were given said "Stay home for the next 14 days and monitor your health. Take your temperature with a thermometer two times a day and watch for symptoms." It had what symptoms to look for, and what measures to take if you felt sick. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
