Wuhan has opened upChina shut down Wuhan completely. They mandated stay at home orders and enforced themTrump declared Mission Accomplished once he banned flights from China. Those 15 cases grew to over 3 million.COVID is the defining moment of his presidencyThe problem is, Trump doesn't have the capacity to address the problem.
The trick to being president in times of trouble is the ability to show empathy. Obama, Bush, Clinton all knew how to do this. (See, I'm going to say nice things about George W., who doesn't seem so bad in comparison).
Trump doesn't have that capacity. To him, Covid is something that is bad happening to him, not all the people who died, got sick or lost their jobs.
Most Presidents would have excelled. Think of Bush after 9-11. He rallied the nation and got bipartisan support to fight terrorism.
Trump has been divisive, pit one side against the other, turn protective measures into a political statement.
It is costing him the election
Most presidents would have done exactly what Trump did. Covid doesn't define Trump. It defines China and their lack of control.
9-11 is a far cry from a pandemic.
Trump hasn't been divisive and he sure hasn't tried to pit one side against the other. Hell he tried to ban Chinese flights into the US and you Dem idiots called him a racist. Talk about divisive.
None of his protective measures were turned into political statements. That's what you Dems have done. You've turned this pandemic into a political statement.
It will cost Biden the election
No
Nobody else from either party would have responded like Trump
Denial, Misinformation, undermining his governors, mocking social distancing
People stopped blaming China months ago. Once it hit our shores, it was Trumps responsibility
Hey. Whatever floats your boat. Trump was called a racist by you Dem idiots when he wanted to ban flights from China. Once it hit our shores it was everyone's responsibility.
Guess what?
Travelers from Wuhan are welcome around the world, travelers from the US are not
Are you sure of that. Wuhan is where the pandemic started. I doubt anyone from there is welcome anywhere.
I doubt any countries who have Covid victims are welcome anywhere. Your point is idiotic.
Trump has blown off the threat of the TRUMPvirus, told everyone it is no worse than the flu, mocked those who wear masks.
Wuhan is now clear, the US is not
If they enforced them then how did Covid get around the world??
I'd say you are full of shit and I'm sure China would tell everyone Wuhan is clear but anyone who believes that is a fool.
The US and many other countries aren't clear.
Catch a clue dumbass.
The US hasn’t
