As much as Trumpers claim Trump is a no non-sense straight talker -- they sure do have a habit of trying to explain to everyone what Trump really meant to say...
Really?
It seems rather obvious to me that it is mostly you scum from the
left wrong who are continually trying to
“explain” what Trump meant, using rather blatantly deceptive methods of misquoting or taking quotes out of context to twist them into sinister meanings far removed from what one gets when one reads the correct accounts of the quotes, in full context. Not just Trump, but any source that you think you can so twist, just as
TheOppressiveFaggot did in starting this thread.
Do you think you're being clever calling liberals names, and spreading your word salad lies around the board. You're an ignorant loon who is busy defending your orange faced clown, as thousands of Americans die.
The President said it was 100% contained and locked down. It would be gone soon. Now he says northwards of 100,000 people are going to die. Everyone should stay home.
Every day, for months, reports came out of China and Italy of this pandemic, and Trump did nothing. He says he closed the border to travellers from China and Korea, but that wasn't true either. There were so many "exceptions" to the travel ban, that it was a joke.
Instead of using all of the resources at his command, Trump keeps handing this crisis off to the states. His lack of timely leadership will cost the country far more lives than would have happened if he had taken the WHO test and tested like crazy. The USA STILL doesn't have adequate testing.
Canada had it's first case on the same day as the USA. Today we have 8000 cases total, and 101 deaths, and our rate of infection is a slowly rising horizontal line, not a vertical line like the USA. That's because we had actual national leadership in fighting the virus, and instead of tossing out the pandemic playbook, like Trump, Canada followed it to the letter.
Testing has been the key to lowering the rate of infection. Anyone testing positive is quarantined. Canada asked all Canadians to self-isolate back in early March - before there was a single case in New York. Our schools were closed at March break and they haven't re-opened. The latest target date is May 4.
Trump still hasn't issued a national order for social isolation, and the governor of Florida is an idiot, waiting for Trump to tell him to do this. The highest percentage of elderly in the country, and DeSantis pretends he doesn't have a problem.
