Trump admits he deliberately played down COVID

[Tiv]

Tiv,

The notion that Trump downplayed the Pandemic to avoid public panic is absurd on its face.

* he’s treating his followers like rubes who cant handle the truth. Wouldn’t you want to know the truth so that you can protect your family? Trump is so condescending to his voters.

* Trump loves it when people panic. He trades in panic. Ex.

In 2016, he created the image of Brown people coming north to the border in caravans ready to invade our country. Rapists and drug dealers on our doorstep. Build the Wall...and Mexico will pay for it. He wanted voters to panic.

In 2020, its violent protesters leaving Democrat run cities to invade your suburbs. Corey Booker will lead Dem efforts to upset your safe and perfect life in the suburbs. We have to defend our home just like that brave couple in St. Louis who brandished weapons at the protesters. He wants suburbanites to panic.

Such a liar and charlatan. Yet, his supporters let him get away with it.

I completely disagree with you assessment. He didn't want more illegal immigrants crossing the border. And I agree with him. It has nothing to do with skin color. We should be able to control our borders. Almost every other country does. And we allow one million LEGAL immigrants into the country every year, more than any other country in the world.

I know what the truth is. And I can handle it. Can you? Trump isn't fooling anybody. He's a straight shooter. He tells you exactly what's on his mind. In fact he grants too many interviews and answers too many questions. Has he lied or exaggerated things at times? Yes. But so has every other president I've followed since I began following politics around 1970. Remember when Obama said regarding Obamacare, "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. And if your like health care plan you can keep it"? Both were bold faced lies.

And yes he downplayed the pandemic early one to avoid a national public. Even Fauci said what Trump did and said was right. And Fauci is no big fan of Trump. Just like FDR calmed the American people during the Great Depression and World War II. That's one of the reasons he's one of our greatest presidents.
Trump put into effect a travel from China about 10 days after the first known case of COVID in the U.S. Biden called him a racist for doing this. Then he did same for travel from Europe soon after. Fauci has said that these 2 moves saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
Then Trump formed the Corona Virus Task Force. This informed the American people of exactly what was going on. The previous administration had left the cupboard bare. He then invoked the name of that act (I forget the name of it now) and got EVERY governor all they needed regarding masks, gowns, respirators, ventilators, testing kids and anything else they needed. Even Democratic Governors like Newsom and Cuomo heaped praise upon him.

And yes people are leaving cities like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City due to all the violent protests and riots. They are moving to smaller towns where they feel safe. And they are doing this on their own. I have friends who have moved from some of these cities.
And Trump is not scaring them into this. I have friends in New York and in the Los Angeles area who have had their businesses burned to the ground. They are regrouping and moving out. It's a shame what has happened to our country this summer. It is the violent protests and riots that have caused many Americans to panic, not Trump.
If you are looking for flaws in Trump you will find them. But even our greatest presidents, from Lincoln, Reagan, the 2 Roosevelts and Kennedy also were flawed. I can understand it if you don't like the man. But I'll take him over Hillary and Biden in a heartbeat.

Here’s a couple more facts. The dems led by Cory Booker want to force public housing into the suburbs bringing mass crime and drugs. That’s a fact. Home prices will drop like a rock. Maybe if it was your. Suburb you would feel different. Once again you believe everything the lying Dems and media feed you wake up. Trump exposed the Democrats open border policies that’s what he was doing and rightly so because those policies will destroy our country even Obama and Biden and Clinton used to know that but now they don’t care because truth is they want to destroy our country as it is now so they can gain absolute power and turn us into
Venezuela

Operation warp speed. And vaccines are coming in record time. Spot on Tiv. You can’t get a uhaul or Penske truck in NYC right now. Sold out. Mass exodus.

Again that’s a flat out lie. Wow

Not a lie. That's what the dude said during the primaries. Now he's saying he will only raise taxes on people making over $400,000/year. THAT'S a lie.
He said during the primaries that he's gonna give free healthcare to ALL Americans, including illegal immigrants. Than in itself will mean trillions of dollars in tax hikes over 10 years.
He's also adapting into AOC's New Green Deal. How's he gonna pay for all this? By raising taxes across the board, Wake up.

We can only hope he follow through on his commitment to raise taxes. A vast majority of the wealth in this country is not earned, its inherited. Tax them at about 90% and let's rebuild the country.

There are an awful lot of self made millionaires in this country. I don't mind raising taxes on the very wealthy like Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) or Jeff Bezos (Amazon) or Jerry Jones (Cowboys). People like that.
But 90% seems excessive. Tax them at 50% - 60% and that will produce an awful lot of revenue.
I agree we need to rebuild the infrastructure of the country. It's awful.

What does the CDC say about it now days and do you always go to Trump for medical advice? Back to the question, what date do you think that Trump should have shut down the country? At least he didn't wait 6 months to declare a National Emergency with COVID the way that Barry and Plantation Joe did with H1N1. 60 million infected Americans is Barry's legacy when it comes to dealing with pandemics.

stop talking about h1n1. It’s idiotic to bring it up. It didn’t kill 200k people in 6 months.To answer your question he shoulda shut the country down in March and not reopened until June 1. And encouraged people to wear mask. If he had done that we would be tailgating at football games right now!

If we switched viruses put H1N1 with Trump and put COVID with Obama Biden 2million plus would have died under Obama Biden. Trump would have cut H1N1 deaths in Half.

 

[gchaneyjr]

400k and up and reversing the Trump tax cuts. This money is badly needed to reinvest into infrastructure, healthcare, keeping the DoD budget strong etc.

If you think keeping the country strong is socialist then you may want to do some more research. Its a standard objective all normal leaders have.

You honestly think Biden wont cut the hell out of the DOD. Come on man.

Btw, Bernie is worried.

Bernie Sanders Calls on Biden to Focus on Economic Positions

Senator Bernie Sanders said Joe Biden needs to talk more about his plans to revive the U.S. economy, including a higher minimum wage, to earn Americans’ votes and beat President Donald Trump in November.

Do you know how much money we’ve been losing to China and many other countries per year before Trump came along?? How about 500billion per year. Yes that’s billion. Trump gets 4 more years keep the pressure on China hold them responsible for this virus. Get out of the unending wars that cost hundreds of billions By just wiping out the trade deficit and getting back to 3-4GDP we will not only pay for the military but we will start building our country back up and start knocking down the debt. Provided we don’t start killing our energy production and letting the climate global warming nuts take over. If all that fails we just make Mexico pay for it lol

I'm short stocks.

You were when the market was at 18,500 too.
Sounds like a margin call to me.

we don’t lose 500b to China. That’s not how trade deficits work. Trump lost a ton of money with the tariffs. Ask all those farmers in the Midwest who went bankrupt.

Small farms are getting battered and receiving little help from the federal subsidies that were supposed to prop up agriculture over the trade war with China.

That’s right we don’t lose to China anymore thanks to Trump. Trumps tariffs helped supply the farmers with 29billion. The farmers love trump. And you don’t know what your talking about if you don’t understand we have lost hundreds of billions of dollars every year for over 20 years. we’ve been losing due the horrible trade deals that Biden was for. Biden just admitted how much better the USMCA was compared to the nightmare NAFTA. Trump wins in a landslide.

hey.... those billions the gamers got came from you and me. Those are taxpayer money they got. And in case you didn’t know tariffs are paid by the consumer. Us! When Trump puts tariffs on things it’s a tax on the good coming in from another country like China. So if they put a $2 tariff tax on something that cost $8 now you pay $10. And the company passes the increase to the consumer. So not only do we pay more for goods but then our tax money goes to pay the farmers.

Haha oh yes the liberal NPR spin. How dare trump give the farmers money. We should have flushed it all down the toilet by staying in the BS Paris Climate treaty. How dare trump take care of the Farmers who were getting screwed by the unfair trade policies Biden supported. I will grant you that yes the Chinese can up there prices but you know what I can buy American and not pay that Chinese price. As far as where the 29 billion comes from there’s no doubt Trump brought in Billions from the tariffs that went into our treasury. Well the farmers were paid out of the treasury so it seems pretty self explanatory to me but I’m just a simple guy so what do I know.

[CaneWonder]

He knew it was incredibly deadly before the first death in the United States and has now admitted it on tape, so him downplaying it deliberately makes him complicit in the death count. Public officials should be giving citizens an accurate account of the dangers of public health pandemics so they can adequately protect themselves - Trump did the exact opposite and is now responsible for the deaths that transpired as a result of his incompetence.

All he needed to do was say ... " There is a virus out there we need to take seriously,,, we must protect each other as Americans. We will be coming out with ways to help prevent the spread. "

What is so hard saying that ?
No Panic in that statement.
He doesn't have it in him !

 

[CaneWonder]

FACT - Jan 31 Trump closed off travel from China - Biden called him xenophobic and racist for doing so - so that means Biden would not have
FACT Trump closed off travel from most of Europe and again criticized by the Dems and the liberal media which means Biden would not have
FACT Trump closed off our southern border by starting construction of a wall and having Mexico stopping the caravans at their southern border - every Dem has been against that for the last 4 years which means Biden would not have
FACT the liberal left is full of sh*t trying to come up with anything they can to bring Trump down
FACT Trump has saved thousands of lives in doing what he did - ask Fauci

Sleeeeeepy Joe better for ALL People than stupid ass Donald.

I am looking forward to the courts to find out what happened and make a fair judgement. She was caught up in the drug game thru her boyfriend. That gives any individual risk of losing their life. She rented a car that a guy was murdered in. They will not be found guilty so prepare yourself.

In PA a black male charges a cop with a knife and they riot because he shot him. LOL Ridiculous what your party spews. It is past time for tough love
