AMEN, Jeffrey R. You perfectly encapsulated that nonsense.
I’ll second that. Lord have mercy if Trump even comes close to a second term in November. What a disturbing, distrustful and malignant POTUS.
Who knows what to believe? I think Trump and team reacted in the proper amount of time by shutting down flights from China, then Europe, then the UK, I do think they put a lot of spin on what they are doing in response to preparedness. I do wish Trump would take some responsibility instead of constantly blaming “past administrations” for inheriting “a bare cupboard”. In three years he could have supplied the cupboard.
Robert B. Believe that many other countries saw this coming, based on past experience, and the US even took this kind of threat seriously until this administration, when three years ago, they dismantled the departments and planning put into place to handle this kind of thing. Trump DID NOT shut down flights from China, at least not right away. He still allowed 40,00 non-Chinese citizens into the US after the virus was out of control in China. By mid February I was canceling May 1st foreign vacation plans. It did not take a rocket scientist or even a stable genius to see this coming.
It looks like you must be paying for a subscription to IBJ, so you believe paying for credible, researched and fact checked journalism, so I would suggest you pay for another subscription to something like the NY Times, or the Washington Post if you want a reliable source of information.
And you are right, we all wish Trump would stop the spin and supply some leadership. We need to gear up for TESTING and TRACING if we are going to get out of the current social distancing and start to move our lives back to something that resembles normal.
Ha – no kidding. I watched a live feed of Fauci explaining what he said about “of course we could have saved more lives – but we did what we could” and then 20 minutes later on ABC world news they totally edited what he said and the headline was “Fauci doubles down on we could have saved more lives”. don’t think people aren’t figuring this out.
what a joke. not only does he have to fight the pandemic – he has to battle fake news. much like this BS.
and Jeff R gets censored…nice. way to fall in line IBJ
Dustin, that comment was removed for profanity.
Michael, you are right about one thing and that is the endless lying… on the part of the Main Stream Media. Check the facts, virtually EVERY so called public health expert said that COVID-19 was not as dangerous as the flu in January and February. The Left accused Trump of racism when he shut down travel to China. Now you Monday Morning Quarterbacks want to say he didn’t act fast enough. Talk about revising history. If Trump made an error it was listening to so called experts who oversold the danger. Our response to this virus should have been managed more locally.
Cheers!
Progressive liberals – You are despondent over many issues, and one of the biggies is that you no longer have a death grip over the narrative and cannot play your unchecked verbal deceit games like days of old. (Not to mention BS pieces like this when it comes back at you) What is most disturbing about the whole issue, is your TOTAL lack of self awareness and a commitment to delusions of grandeur about how you all are intellectually superior and therefor were worthy of you total domination of the narrative. Trump is a product of that deceit to yourselves, and you have no one more to blame, than yourselves. Drop the Stalin’esque arrogance, show at least some modicum of contrition over what you have tried to do with this president (Russia, impeachment, etc) and you might get some of us to listen to you. Otherwise the cultural civil war will march on…..
Surely you might have heard that Trump does not tell the truth? Maybe you could google a few of his statements yourself to see if what he says is true? Oh…. maybe “that’s just his style” and he does not mean the things he says. Or maybe you did not read the last sentence of the article, that once you start lying, you have to double down and maintain the lie.
Ask yourself if maybe you aren’t lying to yourself, because it might be too painful to admit you might be wrong about Trump? It seems pretty obvious to a lot of reasonable people and not just to people you would like to call, “Progressive liberals”.
