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."

Historians will eventually write books detailing what journalists already know about the Trump administration's dereliction of duty when the pandemic hit. America's Covid-19 death toll now passes 2,800 and the caseload exceeds 157,200 cases, But through much of the time that the number of cases was growing, the White House offered no coherent national response to the crisis.

No federal agency is rallying health care workers to move to hot spots where they are needed. Instead of assertively coordinating and distributing vital equipment, the administration is letting states, hospitals, and federal agencies compete against each other. Trump even went so far as to accuse medical workers of hoarding supplies.

Recently Trump introduced a bit of personal petulance to this dynamic, suggesting that governors who aren't sufficiently deferential should be ignored by the White House. (He leavened this remark by noting that Vice President Mike Pence is not following his lead.) Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, whom Trump singled out for criticism, reported that orders made for equipment had been canceled as suppliers favored the feds over her state.

At the epicenter of the nation's and the world's pandemic, Cuomo has been reminding us that the worst of the crisis is just beginning. The same is true for history's assessment of President Trump. The coronavirus is immune to his manipulation and spin. It is the defining challenge of his presidency and of his life. Compared with other presidential crises, like the 9/11 attacks or Hurricane Katrina, it has occurred slowly, with ample warning, giving the president many opportunities to act and, we see now, fail.

The accounting will continue. And like the pandemic, it will be devastating."



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

Still pushing this defective product I see...now you want us to wait until "history" says "told ya"?

Read the article and look at the bottom to see how well JAPAN has managed this crises compared to the United States under Donald Trump.

You fucking idiot, the US society in no way compares to that of Japan. If you compare us with countries with more diverse societies, we're doing pretty well.

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

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...

"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.

www.yahoo.com

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."

Donald J. Trump not only will go down in history as the worst president in our history, his name will forever be attached to "fake news and liar". His brand will be tarnished, his legacy shameful and undignified. I personally hope we strip his memory from our history as if he never existed, but with over 500 ppl dying in just one day today, we can't.
Our punishment, our history ownership of this man will also be recorded..bc we allowed this monster his reign without protest and without holding our politicians accountable for supporting his madness...TRUMP IS A DIRECT RESULT OF MITCH MCCONNELL, LYNDSEY GRAHAM AND SUSAN COLLINS...BOTH WHO ARE SURPRISING SILENT TODAY!!

You do know "both" means 2 right? Your lack of a grasp on the language just confirms your commie ignorance and tells me to disregard your spew.

Trump discovers the drug that cures Coronavirus. That's not enough for Dems who whine and bitch because he can't walk on water.

A hundred years from now they’ll look back and say “what the fuck was wrong with those people? They actually elected a game show host.”

Same crap you commies spewed when we elected an "actor", TWICE. Watch history repeat itself. LMAO

Read the article and look at the bottom to see how well JAPAN has managed this crises compared to the United States under Donald Trump.

The source is far more telling than the article...in fact it looks like CNN read one of your posts and decided it was their kind of news and ran with it.

fact: 502 ppl died today from C-19...you stupid white ppl can run run run with Trump and his lies...but you can't hide from FACTS...MF'S lololo

Tell the class how many people were saved from auto accidents because they weren't on the roads. Can you say about double?

[SmokeALib]

And still The President is in full political mode showing a lacking of a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of his actions:

Deaths, intubations swamp New Orleans doctors in coronavirus surge

Emergency room doctor Thomas Krajewski stopped at the hospital room door at 2 a.m. to glance at the chart. He knew instantly the long odds faced by the patient inside: A man in his 70s, with a fever, short of breath.

www.reuters.com

NOTE: I don't expect any supporters of trump will read these links, reality and truth are superseded by their undying believe that The President is competent and serving in their well being.

Please explain how Trump has to do with a damned thing in that article fuctard?

You too have your head up your ass.

Notice how the dumbest faux conservatives play circle jerk games; they cannot post anything of substance, anything thoughtful and nothing thought provoking. Your question that I need to explain how any of these articles are not related to trump's comments on Covid is clear that you too have your head up your ass.

trump has flipped and flopped and flipped again, over and over on this crisis, and right now is on TV making statements which contradict his original comments on Covid -19; and of course in these dog and pony hosts like Azaar (One of the Swamp creatures) praises trump's leadership.

You're not an Admiral, I doubt you ever were in a management capacity, since trump has zero leadership skills; those of us who were know trump is an empty suit.

You poor, sad, impotent bastard. It must be frustrating for you to be so irrelevant, with your ideology completely discredited and dismissed by more and more of the world every day.

You've always been a cowardly punk. Claiming I'm frustrated by people like you is comical. Calling me an impotent bastard is more telling than you know, this type of personal attack is evidence that what I post is substantive, thoughtful and thought provoking. In your case, and many others, you seem to lack the education and ability to write a rebuttal to everything posted by me on this thread.

You're a leftist. Nothing you post is substantive or thoughtful.

Nasty Pelousy?

A CNN reported who deserved it?

Please!

Today Trump, who did the nasty with a pornstar as his wife sat home, paid her off, then denied it said he hasen't heard about testing for weeks even though he's asked about it daily in his hate fests. Behold Trump, the biggest conman who ever lived. The White House is no place for that lowlife. GITMO is where he belongs.

Five more years of crying for you...

I know you get excited at that thought, buuuuut,



And there are more like that of Joe Biden and others. Your leaders failed you and you could die from it, but as long as the blue team makes it you are cool. Dumb lemming.

The first video is from FEBRUARY 2, 2020. At that time there were only 11 cases of coronavirus in the UNITED STATES! There were NO cases of coronavirus in the state of New York and would not be any until MARCH 1, 2020.

The New York Health person can only advise and control what was going in New York at the time. It was TRUMP's job on February 2 to close the country off to foreign travel like Japan and Taiwan had done days earlier. But Trump never did that, and would wait until late March to finally implement travel bans and border closings that JAPAN and TAIWAN had implemented in January.

The United States now has over 3,000 dead and over 163,000 infections.

JAPAN has less than 2,000 infections and only 56 deaths despite having the oldest average population on earth and more direct contact and trade with China than the United States!

Trump discovers the drug that cures Coronavirus. That's not enough for Dems who whine and bitch because he can't walk on water.

We wouldn't need a drug to cure coronavirus if Trump had taken the same steps as Japan and Taiwan in January to defend their populations from the outbreak in China. Trump did not adopt all the border closures and travel bans that Taiwan and Japan did in January until late March.

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."

Historians will eventually write books detailing what journalists already know about the Trump administration's dereliction of duty when the pandemic hit. America's Covid-19 death toll now passes 2,800 and the caseload exceeds 157,200 cases, But through much of the time that the number of cases was growing, the White House offered no coherent national response to the crisis.

No federal agency is rallying health care workers to move to hot spots where they are needed. Instead of assertively coordinating and distributing vital equipment, the administration is letting states, hospitals, and federal agencies compete against each other. Trump even went so far as to accuse medical workers of hoarding supplies.

Recently Trump introduced a bit of personal petulance to this dynamic, suggesting that governors who aren't sufficiently deferential should be ignored by the White House. (He leavened this remark by noting that Vice President Mike Pence is not following his lead.) Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, whom Trump singled out for criticism, reported that orders made for equipment had been canceled as suppliers favored the feds over her state.

At the epicenter of the nation's and the world's pandemic, Cuomo has been reminding us that the worst of the crisis is just beginning. The same is true for history's assessment of President Trump. The coronavirus is immune to his manipulation and spin. It is the defining challenge of his presidency and of his life. Compared with other presidential crises, like the 9/11 attacks or Hurricane Katrina, it has occurred slowly, with ample warning, giving the president many opportunities to act and, we see now, fail.

The accounting will continue. And like the pandemic, it will be devastating."



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

Still pushing this defective product I see...now you want us to wait until "history" says "told ya"?

Read the article and look at the bottom to see how well JAPAN has managed this crises compared to the United States under Donald Trump.

You fucking idiot, the US society in no way compares to that of Japan. If you compare us with countries with more diverse societies, we're doing pretty well.

.

Japan has more trade and direct contact with China than the United States does and also has the oldest average population on the planet. Those are two factors that go against Japan and are much better for the United States.

Yet, there is NO CONTEST in the figures. Over 3,000 dead in the United States to only 56 in Japan. Over 163,000 infections in the United States to less than 2,000 in Japan.

THE FACT IS, CHINA, JAPAN, AND TAIWAN have done better at protecting their populations from the coronavirus than the United States. You can't get around that. TRUMP HAS FAILED!

One word, BULLSHIT!

Cute opinion piece you know what they say about opinions and assholes everyone has one.

 

[Unkotare]

And still The President is in full political mode showing a lacking of a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of his actions:

Deaths, intubations swamp New Orleans doctors in coronavirus surge

Emergency room doctor Thomas Krajewski stopped at the hospital room door at 2 a.m. to glance at the chart. He knew instantly the long odds faced by the patient inside: A man in his 70s, with a fever, short of breath.

www.reuters.com

NOTE: I don't expect any supporters of trump will read these links, reality and truth are superseded by their undying believe that The President is competent and serving in their well being.

Please explain how Trump has to do with a damned thing in that article fuctard?

You too have your head up your ass.

Notice how the dumbest faux conservatives play circle jerk games; they cannot post anything of substance, anything thoughtful and nothing thought provoking. Your question that I need to explain how any of these articles are not related to trump's comments on Covid is clear that you too have your head up your ass.

trump has flipped and flopped and flipped again, over and over on this crisis, and right now is on TV making statements which contradict his original comments on Covid -19; and of course in these dog and pony hosts like Azaar (One of the Swamp creatures) praises trump's leadership.

You're not an Admiral, I doubt you ever were in a management capacity, since trump has zero leadership skills; those of us who were know trump is an empty suit.

You poor, sad, impotent bastard. It must be frustrating for you to be so irrelevant, with your ideology completely discredited and dismissed by more and more of the world every day.

You've always been a cowardly punk. Claiming I'm frustrated by people like you is comical. Calling me an impotent bastard is more telling than you know, this type of personal attack is evidence that what I post is substantive, thoughtful and thought provoking. In your case, and many others, you seem to lack the education and ability to write a rebuttal to everything posted by me on this thread.

“Lack the education”? Are you trying to puff up, champ? Better be careful, your own education may not stack up.

Donald J. Trump not only will go down in history as the worst president in our history, his name will forever be attached to "fake news and liar". His brand will be tarnished, his legacy shameful and undignified. I personally hope we strip his memory from our history as if he never existed, but with over 500 ppl dying in just one day today, we can't.
Our punishment, our history ownership of this man will also be recorded..bc we allowed this monster his reign without protest and without holding our politicians accountable for supporting his madness...TRUMP IS A DIRECT RESULT OF MITCH MCCONNELL, LYNDSEY GRAHAM AND SUSAN COLLINS...BOTH WHO ARE SURPRISING SILENT TODAY!!

Trump is president because you prayed him into office. LOL
