The endless search for a scapegoat continues unabated.

As long as you realize ceding power to China, and to Russia in the ME as Trump has done, under minds our long term interests. A hallmark of Trumpery is only thinking about the moment, not strategic thinking. Long term thinking is harder to do when so much time is spent tweeting and playing golf.

In 2012 Barry whispered to Putin-Puppet Medvedev when the thought the microphones were to tell Putin that AFTER he won re-election he would be more 'flexible'. 2 years later Hillary and Barry gave the Russians / Vlad uranium, Crimea, and 2 years of un-challenged counter-Intel ops, attempts to hack our electrical grid, and attempts to hack senior leader private servers and govt / private e-mail accounts. In exchange, Barry for 'permission' from Russia to commit a UN Crime by invading a sovereign nation in the midst of civil war without that nation's request or permission to do so. And lets not forget how Hillary and Obama's administration paid for / used Russian (RIS) Counter-Intel Propaganda and attempted to affect a political coup (largest scandal in US history).
- The Trump administration also took more sanctions / actions against Russia than Barry's administration ever did.

President Trump also happens to be the only President in Modern History (if not ever) to stand up to the Chinese, who engaged in a serious trade war with them ... while Democrats urged the country to keep the status qho, which was to remain on our knees before China. Instead, President Trump won, securing a much better trade deal for the country / American people.

Had the Democrats had their way, snowflakes would still be organizing and marching for Russia as a result of Russian Social Media counter-intel ops in the US, the UDS would still be China's trade 'bitch', Hillary would be President due to RIS counter-intel ops helping Barry to affect a successful rigging of US election / a successful political coup, & millions more Americans would be infected and dead due to COVID-19.

China knew about the pandemic start in Nov 2019

So did COVIDIOT Tramp!

six feet apart...or six feet under?

that's for the Governors and Trump to decide!

 

[edthecynic]

critical things that Trump did in response to the pandemic in the context of when he did them, leaving out things Trump did in January like activating the CDC, forming the virus task force, declaring a public health emergency, and restricting travel with China.'

None of which helped!

Now see, in desperation you snowflakes keep moving the goal post in an attempt to always criticize the President:

'President Trump and his administration did NOTHING'.

That's a LIE: He took action 1 month after China FINALLY told the WHO they had a problem.
-- It was not the President's or his administration's fault that China and the WHO hid the outbreak and severity / threat for as long as they did.

1. The President activated the CDC
- It was not the President's or CDC's fault China refused to allow the CDC in to assess and help

2. The President formed the Virus Task Force

3. The President declared a public health Emergency
- Democrats and the MSM were down-playing the severity (Perhaps if they had held a House Intel Committee hearing on what was going on in China they would have been better informed....)

4. The President imposed the China Travel Ban
A. Democrats flatly opposed the Travel Ban, even authored legislation to block it
B. Biden called the ban Xenophobic and accused the president of engaging in fear-mongering
C. Democrats urged Americans to ignore the President and go about their usual lives

Democrats MOVED THE GOAL POST by saying the travel ban was too late & they would have done so sooner
- Yeah, try reading #4 again. There is no way in hell they would have imposed a travel ban...unless Ttrump had been against it

Once called on THAT Democrats MOVED THE GOAL POST AGAIN (TWICE) by declaring:

1) 4,000 people came from China anyway
-- Except snowflakes leave out the fact that these were AMERICAN CITIZENS....MEANING they OPPOSED ALLOWING US CITIZENS TO COME BACK HOME...then when called on THAT try to spin that around, as seen in this thread

2) Infected Chinese still got into the US
-- Except snowflakes fail to mention in this attack that China knew about the outbreak as early as Oct 2019 and intentionally allowed it to spread globally by shutting down International travel from the epicenter of the outbreak to Italy,Germany, England, the UNITED STATES, etc...


This is just like with the exposed Obama administration treasonous coup against President Trump IN THE FACT THAT NOW - JUST LIKE WITH THE COUP - Snowflakes are deliberately ignoring / refusing to mention the exposed failures / mistakes the Democrats made EVERY step of the way, always being 1 step behind the President and on the wrong side....

ALL BECAUSE OF 1 THING: NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, IF THE PRESIDENT IS FOR IT THE DEMOCRATS MUST ADVOCATE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE!

Biden led the opposition to the Travel Ban....and now admits it was THE RIGHT THING TO DO. OF COURSE IT WAS....but TDS forced / forces the Dems / snowflakes to take the opposing side of everything simply because they hate him, even if it means abandoning COMMONN SENSE!

This whole 'Scapegoat' thread and Left's attempt to blame / demonize the President for the Coronavirus response can all be condensed and reflected in one debate, and that debate took place on the Bill Maher Show between Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and Maher.

Funny that you should mention that. I started watching the interview thinking Crenshaw sounded like a reasonable guy, a rarity among congressional Repubs. But he almost immediately began his defense of Trump by lying about the bill House Dems were trying to pass in order to limit Trump's ability to discriminate against religious groups trying to immigrate to the US. He framed it as Dems being against Trumps ability to do things like control immigration at a time of a national emergency like what we are experiencing. I was genuinely disappointed to see Crenshaw use a lie, and oft used conservative talking point, right off the bat. Sadly, Maher didn't call him on it, probably because he was unaware of the details.

 

[berg80]

A. Democrats flatly opposed the Travel Ban

Someone started a thread a week ago or more that completely debunked that lie.

BTW, the travel restriction placed on people coming from China was a failure.

430,000 people have traveled from China to US since coronavirus surfaced

But I understand why you fools keep pointing to it since you have virtually nothing else to point to in President Flim Flam's defense.

The thing about your spin wheel the democrat and the media is one and the same WHO has covered for China
Why aren't you calling for an investigation to find out the connection between WHO and China?

Sorry, I can't take lunatic conspiracy theories seriously anymore. I've acknowledged the WHO made mistakes. They have been thoroughly covered by the media. When will acknowledge your Dear Leader made mistakes..........and is till making them?

White House officials weigh replacement of HHS Secretary Alex Azar

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/26/trump-alexazar-replacement/

White House officials are discussing whether to replace Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar as frustrations have grown over his handling of the coronavirus crisis earlier this year, as well as of his removal last week of a top vaccine official in his agency, which created an uproar.
Several top White House aides are discussing Azar’s removal and have mused over possible replacements, but President Trump has not weighed in, said five people familiar with the talks who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid. It remains unclear whether the president will want to replace his top health official amid a pandemic, because it could signal more chaos and turmoil in the administration’s response, which has come under repeated fire. More than 53,000 Americans have died of covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and more than 900,000 U.S. cases have been reported as of Sunday.

 

[berg80]

"One senior administration official with knowledge of the discussions said Trump has no deep affection for Azar but is unlikely to change secretaries as the coronavirus continues to rage. There is also concern about having a nomination fight in an election year on an issue — health care — that many Trump advisers see as a political weakness. Spokesmen for the White House and HHS denied that Azar was in jeopardy."

Healthcare, a weakness, whatever do they mean?

Don has done all he can do to deflect blame away from himself but fire someone. Based on the revolving door of admin staffers he has created it's about time for the ax to fall again.

U.S. officials crafting retaliatory actions against China over coronavirus as President Trump fumes

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/30/trump-china-coronavirus-retaliation/

Senior U.S. officials are beginning to explore proposals for punishing or demanding financial compensation from China for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to four senior administration officials with knowledge of internal planning.
The move could splinter already strained relations between the two superpowers at a perilous moment for the global economy.
Senior officials across multiple government agencies are expected to meet Thursday to begin mapping out a strategy for seeking retaliatory measures against China, two people with knowledge of the meeting said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to disclose the planning. Officials in American intelligence agencies are also involved in the effort.
...............................................................................................................................
Is China guilty of allowing the conditions under which the virus was created and for withholding info about the outbreak? Yes.

Is going after China an attempt to divert attention away from the Trump admin's failings in addressing the threat the virus posed? Yes.

 

[berg80]

In the three weeks since declaring the novel coronavirus outbreak a national emergency, President Trump has delivered a dizzying array of rhetorical contortions, sowed confusion and repeatedly sought to cast blame on others.
History has never known a crisis response as strong as his own, Trump says — yet the self-described wartime president claims he is merely backup. He has faulted governors for acting too slowly and, as he did Thursday, has accused overwhelmed state and hospital officials of complaining too much and of hoarding supplies.
America is winning its war with the coronavirus, the president says — yet the death toll rises still, and in the best-case scenario more Americans will die than in the wars in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

China DisneyLand is open at sold out capacity with visitors enjoying life. No evidence of mass graves in China or millions dead. They only lost 4,600 citizens.

Here in the USA 81,000 dead citizens & climbing!!! We are shut down with shortages everywhere. I can't get toilet paper, meat for barbeque, a N95-N100 mask to use to fly on an airliner, or get tested for Covid-19. We are in a failed state with mass graves, 30+ million more unemployed, 60 million uninsured during the worst pandemic in 100 years, shortages everywhere & soaring deficits!!!
