Considering how the Dems panned Trump for cutting travel, why should anyone believe a Dem in the Oval Office would have handled this better? All this making it about politics, I agree Trump could have done some things better, but the left is ignoring what their own initial reactions were. This would have been tough on any President, and I'm far from convinced any President could have done better.
SEIU initially said the stockpile of masks available for purchase was made by American manufacturer 3M. But, 3M told federal investigators the company manufactured only 20 million masks last year, signaling that the stockpile overseas was likely counterfeit if it existed at all.
And another study.
Don't you know? He ignored the warning of his economic advisor and listened to the health expert instead. What kind of monster does that?I just keep thinking it took less than a month for someone inside the WH to “blow the whistle” on the Ukraine call. With the obvious level of internal animosity toward this president, you would think there would be a much heavier stream of “insider” information regarding him bucking the advice of the “experts.”
I said this in January...Considering how the Dems panned Trump for cutting travel, why should anyone believe a Dem in the Oval Office would have handled this better?

If Trump were to come out right now and push for a Chinese travel ban, the Democrats and the media would be in an uproar.
I tend to doubt that Barack Obama would have ever publicly downplayed the risk of the Coronavirus to the American people, as Trump was definitely doing in January and parts of February. I say that based on Obama's response to the Swine flu (H1N1). In large part, Obama was just more cautious with his tone and rhetoric than Trump. I agree that it doesn't do anyone any good to make political arguments at this time... but in an election year, that is unavoidable, especially in a climate where we have as many purely partisan media outlets as we do now.Considering how the Dems panned Trump for cutting travel, why should anyone believe a Dem in the Oval Office would have handled this better?

Well, you should have insisted on a 3rd term for the chosen one..............

Looks like no credit given by you, either.Those that criticized that one step turned out to be wrong. But no harm done.
Trump has been wrong countless times since, costing thousands of lives and crippling the economy for years to come.
