Clearly, you do not.
A word to the wise**** You Asshole.....Phfffffffft.A vindictive POTUS who ignores the moral values in the Mission Statement, i.e. The Preamble to COTUS, who has violated his oath to support COTUS in words and acts, is unworthy of the office of trust. President Trump has dishonored the office he has had the privilege of this high office, as have the Senators who failed to remove him when the opportunity was there.
Examples in evidence:
Trump's message to blue states battling coronavirus: Drop dead
Heading into 2020, it seemed like those online election prediction maps would be the most exciting thing to watch over the coming year. But now, a different map may tell us much more about what the future holds.While the coronavirus spreads across the nation with no regards to state borders, the...www.yahoo.com
"While the coronavirus spreads across the nation with no regards to state borders, the nation's governors are taking wildly different approaches to tackling the disease, resulting in a patchwork national map that undermines our ability to stop COVID-19 effectively. Coupled with the disastrous leadership of a president more interested in retaliating against his perceived enemies than employing his powers for good, the fractured response to coronavirus reveals how much has to be healed in our nation's system. It also sets in motion an inevitable showdown between Trump and those state leaders who are taking coronavirus seriously, a divide that is only going to get worse given Trump's toxic tendency to blame others for his own shortcomings"
Pelosi: Trump's downplaying of coronavirus has cost American lives
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sharpened her criticism of President Trump’s early dismissal of the coronavirus, saying the delay cost American lives. She criticized the president's initial response to the virus during a Sunday morning interview on CNN.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sharpened her criticism of President Trump’s early dismissal of the coronavirus, saying the delay cost American lives.
“His denial at the beginning was deadly,” said Pelosi to open her interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.
“His delaying of getting equipment — it continues — his delaying of getting equipment to where it is needed is deadly, and now I think the best thing is to prevent more loss of life rather than open things up because we just don’t know. We have to have testing, testing, testing — that’s what we said from the start before we can evaluate the nature of it in some of these other regions as well.”
Trump berated a black journalist, telling her to 'be nice' and not 'threatening' at a coronavirus briefing, but she refused to take the bait
"I was quoting you directly from your interview with Sean Hannity," Yamiche Alcindor told President Donald Trump after he called her "threatening."www.yahoo.com
- PBS NewsHour reporter Yamiche Alcindor confronted President Donald Trump with his own statements during the daily coronavirus taskforce briefing on Sunday as US coronavirus cases rose to nearly 140,000.
- In response, Trump snapped at Alcindor to "be nice" and not "be threatening."
- The president continued berating Alcindor as she pressed on and tried to redirect his attention to her question about earlier statements he made to Fox News host Sean Hannity about the shortage in medical equipment as states battle the novel coronavirus.
- "When journalists get up and ask questions that are so threatening—" Trump began. Alcindor hit back: "I was quoting you directly from your interview with Sean Hannity."
History's verdict on Trump will be devastating
By Michael D'Antonio
Updated 6:14 PM ET, Mon March 30, 2020
"(CNN)In a crisis, all is revealed.
After a lifetime devoted to avoiding responsibility and accountability -- for his lies, his deceptions, his hype, and his cruelty -- President Donald Trump has met his match in the pandemic of 2020. His bluff and bluster are powerless as thousands of Americans die and the blame falls, in part, on his failure to heed the warnings and execute a robust national response. This occurred even though a pandemic playbook had been left behind by the Obama administration. Early in the crisis, Trump said "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming from China. It's going to be just fine." Weeks were wasted and now the price of this fiasco will likely be a loss of life far greater than 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina.
As someone who has studied Trump for years, I thought it was inevitable that he would eventually reach a moment of reckoning as president. I couldn't have imagined that it would come with the catastrophic consequences now facing the nation as Covid-19 overwhelms health care systems and brings the economy to a standstill. Trump's profound personal shortcomings -- deficiencies of his heart and mind -- helped bring us to this moment.
Ignorant as he can seem, the President seems to sense that this moment will establish his reputation in perpetuity. He said as much last week when he observed that, "the history books will never forget" America's response to the coronavirus. What he did not mention, however, is that his response to the pandemic will be examined in minute detail -- it is this prospect, the prospect of accountability, that looms over him now.
Until this crisis, Trump had avoided accountability with remarkable consistency. Born into astounding wealth, he avoided accountability by persuading creditors that he was too big to fail even after he ran businesses into the ground. In politics, he deflected accountability by blaming others, especially the press and Democrats, for problems that occurred on his watch. Recently, when asked about the dreadful federal failures on coronavirus testing, he said, bluntly, "I don't take responsibility at all."

History's verdict on Trump will be devastating | CNN
Michael D'Antonio writes that after a lifetime devoted to avoiding responsibility and accountability, Trump has met his match in the pandemic of 2020.www.cnn.com
United States confirmed cases of coronavirus: 161,088
United States confirmed deaths from coronavirus: 2,968
Now look at the results for a Modern FIRST WORLD country that took the crises seriously from the start:
JAPAN confirmed cases of coronavirus: 1,866
JAPAN confirmed deaths from coronavirus: 54
What do you mean history? That suggests further down the line. The verdict on Trump was in the minute he was elected. I am finding it hard to find a more incompetent, narcissistic, moronic leader from the western world post WWII. I thought Dumbya was bad. I mean really bad. Now, I'm wishing he was in charge. See, Dumbya was just a good ole boy, incurious hayseed who was out of his depth. Trump, IMO, meets the definition of a psychopath.
BINGO, its like comparing apple and oranges...the flu, HIV, car crashes, etc....all have solutions, this shit don't...(sigh)You are talking crazy here flacaltenn. People avoid the flu in large numbers annually. But now with COVID19, you guys want to pretend that the flu is a small matter. You can get a flu vaccine, there is none for COVID19. We should be concerned until they find something to stop this.
Don't think most Americans panic as easily with numbers... How about a bit of perspective while you put out that fire in your hair mate????
What does a NORMAL flu season look like in the US?? (Just ended in early March for all practical purposes)
NOTE 2 things.. The number of INFECTED is TWICE the number that would reported/diagnosed.. And the UNCERTAINTY ON seasonal flu is pretty much a guess just like the COVID mortality or #infected...

"Some infectious disease experts are warning that it may no longer be feasible to contain the new coronavirus circulating in China. Failure to stop it there could see the virus spread in a sustained way around the world and even perhaps join the ranks of respiratory viruses that regularly infect people.
“The more we learn about it, the greater the possibility is that transmission will not be able to be controlled with public health measures,” said Dr. Allison McGeer, a Toronto-based infectious disease specialist who contracted SARS in 2003 and who helped Saudi Arabia control several hospital-based outbreaks of MERS........."
......."Despite the enormous and admirable efforts in China and around the world, we need to plan for the possibility containment of this epidemic isn’t possible,” said Neil Ferguson, an infectious diseases epidemiology at Imperial College London who has issued a series of modeling studies on the outbreak."
On one side we have you and your frothy opinions. On the other are numerous experts that have dealt with previous outbreaks and actually have a clue.
B-b-b-but Trump! That position is ridiculous in the face of all of this- and that's all you've got. The End.

I knew this would be the case. Not even your own source makes the same claim that you do. Notice NO one said it was inevitable and impossible to contain or stop. It also does not represent the opinion of all or even a majority of epidemiologist.
This is the key sentence. Noticed the highlighted words:
"SOME infectious disease experts are warning that it MAY NO LONGER BE FEASIBLE to contain the new coronavirus circulating in China.
JAPAN and TAIWAN have proven this theory to be false. Only a few epidemiologist claimed this and they were not 100% certain that it could not be contained. So you have a few epidemiologist who expressed concern about whether it could be contained. That's very different from what you have been harping about for several pages now.
Obviously, it would be beneficial to Trump politically if there was "nothing you could have done", but its obvious now that is 100% FALSE! There is no reason the United States should be in its current position today, when TAIWAN and JAPAN, two countries more exposed to China than the United States, have controlled and contained the cases in their countries.
Donald Trump failed to prepare the United States over the last three years for a potential pandemic. He disbanded the part of the National Security Council that was responsible for helping to prepare the country for such a pandemic back in 2018. He cut funding to the CDC. Instead of improving the United States ability to respond to a crises like this, he spent the past three years weakening the United States ability to respond to a crises like this. Then when it broke in January, he failed to close the U.S. borders and stop international travel. Had he closed borders and stopped international travel like JAPAN and TAIWAN did in January, the United States would have numbers similar to both JAPAN and TAIWAN. The United States would not be in the middle of a crises having to receive donated mask and supplies from other countries.
Ironically, Trump may retain a lot of his supporters as the areas least effected by this crises are counties in the more rural areas which always tend to vote Republican over the past several decades. But if any of these voters are objective and care about what is happening in New York City, they will realize Trump failed and should be removed from office this year.

Wrong, again. They clearly stated this would likely be the case if it broke containment in China, which it did and already had. In other words they predicted exactly this. Could they speak to a future certainty with 100% certainty, of course not, FFS. Scientists would never do that. They couldn't do it now, they won't be able to do it at any point in the future. All they can do is offer best guess, which is exactly what they did.
And again, if you bothered to take 2 seconds to educate yourself instead of willfully ignoring things you are looking directly at and bothered to search for other similar opinions from that time period, you would find others saying the exact same things.
I knew you would respond with some BS like this despite any facts to the contrary. Facts don't matter one iota to you. If you'd bothered to read the rest of the article instead of jumping to criticize it you might find that it supports that these people predicted it would spread globally. They actually go further than that and predict that this may become endemic, ie, this will NEVER get stamped out but will become a regularly circulating disease, similar to the flu. B-B-But Trump should stop the flu!
But no, that doesn't suit your purpose so you grab something you think discounts the point, although it actually doesn't and go right back to Trump did it! Japan, Taiwain! Trump did it!
LOL. it's pathetic at this point.
