The Chinese did not tell the public and world the truth for about 3 weeks, played the whole virus down.To those who support him, the reason why there's "panic", to the extent there is, it's due to his constant lies.
The man lies non-stop, and he's not taking this threat seriously, moreover, he doesn't do anything that doesn't benefit him personally. On top of that he only surrounds himself w/yes-men, people who coddle him, have his warped view of reality, and to add icing on the cake, get's RID of those who are actual professionals.
That said, how many of you feel safe under such a person's Administration?
You better read the news better than you are at this point.
Trump is not perfect by any means but him and Congress have taken steps to help the American Public and to say he has not is a total lie on your part and just another attempt to play the political game when we should be focused on containing this virus.
Again, Trump messages are not bring calm to the general public but what Amazes me is how those like you put all the blame in him when we have fifty States in this union of ours and from the first major outbreak in Washington State the State and local officials have been on this and Trump has learned from his error...
Trump most likely believed this was another SARS, Swine or Australian Flu outbreak that very few would even die from and yet the numbers are still low but Trump most likely understand now this is not the case and has worked with Pelosi and McConnell to find solutions.
So as you sit there saying he ( Trump ) is not doing anything maybe you should stop reading the DailyKos and Huff~n~Puff for a moment and notice what is going on and Trump us working with others.
Now can you tell me why you are more outraged at Trump and not at China Government over their failures to contain the virus?
Also realize the entire World and not just the U.S. was not ready for this Pandemic, so if you believe Trump failed, well so did Italy, Iran and even the U.K. and so did the U.N. failed to take the treat seriously but now they do!
So again if Trump has failed so has the rest of the World and who I blame is China Government for what has happened but alas you will blame Trump because it more simple and easy seeing you hate him so much!
President Trump did the EXACT SAME here, he played it down for a month r two... it was a Democratic and media hoax blah blah blah.... it was a nothing burger, some even go to work with it...because they don't feel that sick blah blah blah, this will just go away come summer....blah blah blah .anyone who wants the test can take a test, blah blah blah....yet a month later this is still not true.....
I agree with you, the past 7 days he's gotten serious, but he squandered near 2 months of valuable and critical time.
