If Trump had tried to do that, douchebags like you would be screaming the loudest that he was xenophobic and unnecessarily destroying the economy. In fact, that is exactly what your ilk did.What did Taiwan do?Wow! Trump is awesome! He’s third on the list! And that horrible Obummer is 11th. He sucked so bad!
Trump at one point was #1 on the list, but he is rapidly falling now. He might have to settle for #8 on the list by the time he leaves office on January 20, 2021.
Yeah man. He earned that #1 spot. The drop isn’t his fault though.
Its definitely his fault. If Trump had reacted to the pandemic the way TAIWAN did, less than 8,000 Americans would have been infected, and less than 160 would have died. The virus would be contained, and any new infections would be handled with contact tracing and selective isolation of individuals. The economy would be opened up and people would be going about their normal lives. That's the way it is in TAIWAN. TAIWAN was smart because the sealed off the country and locked down everything back in January. They got a very tiny amount of the virus thanks to their early restrictive policies. This has allowed them to go back to normal, with the less than 500 people who have been sick, and only 7 deaths in a country of 25 million people.
Trump had his chance and he failed and the American public will soon vote him out of office.
Oh? If he did what Taiwan did you would have called him a dictator. We know you love authoritarianism but don't accuse Trump of being one, when he CLEARLY is not.
What Taiwan did is what Franklin Roosevelt would have done. Franklin Roosevelt was not a dictator. Franklin Roosevelt ended the careers of dictators. Trump had an opportunity to protect this country from Covid-19 and he FAILED. There are now 192,000 dead Americans from Covid-19. If the United States had done as well as TAIWAN on a per capita basis, there would have only been around 100 dead.
TAIWAN IS NOT A DICATORSHIP. TAIWAN IS A DEMOCRACY LIKE THE UNITED STATES!
BTW, FDR certainly was a dictator.
FDR ended the careers of dictator's and insured that democracy would not perish from the earth. You and I currently live in a world that he created with Harry S. Truman.
Taiwan sealed off their country from all foreign travel/trade of any type on January 20, 2020. Even citizens of TAIWAN were blocked from returning to TAIWAN. Later, TAIWANESE citizens were allowed to return, but had to be locked in quarantine upon arrival at the airport or seaport and had to remain in quarantine for 14+ days and TEXT NEGATIVE for coronavirus on at least two test before they would be allowed out.
Because TAIWAN dramatically and suddenly enforced this in January, the number and scale of their lockdowns was much smaller because the virus spread within the country was so tiny. It was also easy for contact tracers to track and isolate anyone that got infected.
The United States can't even do contact tracing effectively because the number of people infected is too large.
Thats Telling... This means your a democrat claiming to be a republican...Wow..I already demolished this idiotic pile of bullshit. Taiwan is of no comparison Apples and oranges. Trump has brought the mortality rate WAAAAAY down. (from 17,00/week in April, to only 1,000/week in the the CDC's latest count - August 1)Its definitely his fault. If Trump had reacted to the pandemic the way TAIWAN did, less than 8,000 Americans would have been infected, and less than 160 would have died. The virus would be contained, and any new infections would be handled with contact tracing and selective isolation of individuals.

HUGE SUCCESS,
Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
National Center for Health Statisticswww.cdc.gov
American individuals and States have prevented this disaster from being worse than it already has been. Trump has done very little which is why there are nearly 200,000 dead Americans from Coronavirus and the worst economic contraction in the nations history.
In the meantime, TAIWAN's economy is doing fine and the only 7 people have died and 490 have been infected in a country of 24 million people. TAIWAN has done better than any country in the world in dealing with the pandemic. But there is NOTHING that TAIWAN did, that the United States could not have done as well. Sadly, United States leadership, Donald Trump, failed to follow TAIWAN's lead on this issue. Now the United States is suffering the consequences.
You ignore your own parties ignorance and actions to blame Trump for something YOUR PARTY DID... Tell me again who was denying the virus was a threat by telling people to come on out for the CHINESE NEW YEAR..?
I'm a REPUBLICAN. A BUSH/McCAIN REPUBLICAN! The person in charge of National Security and protecting the United States and its citizens is DONALD TRUMP. He is the commander in chief and he FAILED to do his job to protect the United States from this virus. The results in TAIWAN prove that.
Tell me how you defend from a virus that was unleashed and was seeded in our nation?
I've voted Republican, straight Republican all my life until Donald Trump became the nominee of the Republican party in 2016. I would NEVER vote for someone who was so pro-Russian, Anti-NATO, anti-U.S. Foreign policy and anti-U.S. Defense policy. Policies that had protected the United States for 70 years.
So Hillary Clinton was the first Democrat I ever voted for in 2016. I still voted Republican down the rest of the ticket though. By the 2018 mid-Term elections, it became apparent that Trumpism had infected the rest of the Republican party and voted straight Democrat. As far as I'm concerned, there is only one true REAGAN REPUBLICAN left in congress right now and that's MITT ROMNEY. MITT ROMNEY is the only person in congress that deserves to be called a Republican.
As for the virus, if TRUMP had followed TAIWAN's lead and sealed off the country from foreign travel and trade on January 20, 2020, we would have less than 10,000 infections instead of 6 million PLUS and only 100 dead instead of 200,000 dead. The economy would not be in recession and no one would be under lockdown at the moment except for a tiny number of infected individuals. The United States could have been like TAIWAN, but TRUMP totally FAILED.

Because he has dictatorial powers? LOL!
Look at your World War II history. The office of President in the United States has a large range of powers that can be used to defend the country. Franklin Roosevelt drafted half the labor force into the military and sent them overseas to fight in combat. 11 million people taken out of their jobs and houses and sent overseas. Franklin Roosevelt also enacted the Defense Production act forcing business's to produce supplies for the war effort. Franklin Roosevelt rationed certain supplies among the civilian population so as to help the war effort. Franklin Roosevelt interned or in fact imprisoned large numbers of Americans of Japanese ancestry.
FALSE! The results in the United States prove that he has been a HUGE SUCCESS in protecting the US from the virus, with an 83% reduction in the mortality rate.I'm a REPUBLICAN. A BUSH/McCAIN REPUBLICAN! The person in charge of National Security and protecting the United States and its citizens is DONALD TRUMP. He is the commander in chief and he FAILED to do his job to protect the United States from this virus. The results in TAIWAN prove that.

If Democrats had not colluded with the Chinese to bring the virus here, to disrupt Trump's good economy, it would have never been here at all. And why should anybody in this forum listen to someone as idiotic as to praise Mitt Romney, and vote for a serial killer.I've voted Republican, straight Republican all my life until Donald Trump became the nominee of the Republican party in 2016. I would NEVER vote for someone who was so pro-Russian, Anti-NATO, anti-U.S. Foreign policy and anti-U.S. Defense policy. Policies that had protected the United States for 70 years.

Democrats spoke out against sealing off trade/travel from China, when Trump announced it (also in January). They moronically called him a "racist" for doing it.TAIWAN is like any western Democracy. It is a Democracy with a first world economy and was more exposed to China and the virus than any other country on the planet due to TAIWAN's close proximity to China and greater travel and trade links on per capita basis with China. John Hopkins University predicted that TAIWAN would suffer the largest number of deaths from coronavirus because of these factors. But TAIWAN beat the odds, because of effective leadership decisions from the government on what to do immediately before the virus could penetrate significantly into the country. Taiwan sealed off all travel/trade with the outside world on January 20, 2020 and isolated anyone they would later let in for 14 days. Those individuals had to TEST NEGATIVE for coronavirus before they were let out of isolation.
Trump beats all of them. 3.98% for 2017 - 2019.The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

Taiwan is an island.The US is unique as a travel hub and we took steps that were trashed by democrats. Get over it.You’re right. Lockdowns and their impact on delaying herd immunity as well as stifling the economy has everything to do with the bad numbers. That totally skews any legit comparisons to other admins.You don’t suppose the lockdowns have impacted recent numbers?The monthly unemployment rate for July 2020 was 10.2%. This is the 43rd unemployment report with Trump in office, his 43rd month recorded for this list. This brings Trump's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, up from 4.61% in June 2020 to 4.74% in July 2020.

There are 5 months left in Trumps first Presidential term.
The labor force participation rate is at 61.4% for July 2020, down from 61.5% in June 2020.
I think the failure of a proper response to the pandemic has impacted the numbers and will continue to impact the numbers unless and until the #1 priority becomes containing and destroying the virus. There is no return to normal with the virus infecting over 60,000 people a day and killing 1,500 people a day.
Seasonal flu on average only kills 40,000 people a year in the United States. The coronavirus has killed 150,000 people in just 4 months.
Letting the virus run uncontrolled through the population in order to achieve Herd immunity would be a disaster. The United States approach has been a failure because the country has done very little to contain the virus. Its why 160,000 Americans are dead, compared to only 7 dead in TAIWAN. TAIWAN is the worlds gold standard for policy on the coronavirus and what to do about it. Had the United States followed TAIWAN's lead, and sealed the country back in January, the United States would only have less than 160 dead rather than 160,000 dead and rising. No one in TAIWAN has died in nearly 3 months.
TAIWAN was more exposed to the pandemic than any other country in the world due to its travel links and proximity with China. Yet, as of today, this country of 24 million people has less than 500 infections and only 7 deaths. TAIWAN is the gold standard for responding to this pandemic. Sadly, the United States has had nearly the worst response of any country on the planet in fighting this pandemic.

There is 1 month left in Trumps Presidential term.
The labor force participation rate is at 61.5% for November 2020, down from 61.7% in August 2020.
So Trump's Time in office is nearly over. One more month of data and will see where he will forever be in the history books when it comes to average unemployment while he was President. Right now he is at #4 on the list, but could fall one more place below Richard Nixon and just above Bill Clinton depending on what the Unemployment rate is for December. Amazing that Trump was in First Place back in February 2020 but may finish his term just 10 months later possibly as low as 5th place on the list.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will pull a Grover Cleveland and run for President in 2024 and get elected. If he does he will be limited in that run for office to just one term because of his time in office from 2017 to 2021.
If there is a TIE between Richard Nixon and Donald Trump after next month, I'll keep Trump in the 4th place position.
Well you invented the leftyvirus hoax to cause it so don't forget to take some credit for it yourself. And now the stock market is over 30,000 anyway so.........The President with the greatest economic crash since the Great Depression is?
Trump the businessman can put people to work, but that's not really the job of Trump the President of the U.S.This brings Trump's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, up from 4.82% in August 2020 to 4.97% in November 2020.

There are 5 months left in Trumps first Presidential term.
The labor force participation rate is at 61.4% for July 2020, down from 61.5% in June 2020.
I think the failure of a proper response to the pandemic has impacted the numbers and will continue to impact the numbers unless and until the #1 priority becomes containing and destroying the virus. There is no return to normal with the virus infecting over 60,000 people a day and killing 1,500 people a day.
Seasonal flu on average only kills 40,000 people a year in the United States. The coronavirus has killed 150,000 people in just 4 months.
Letting the virus run uncontrolled through the population in order to achieve Herd immunity would be a disaster. The United States approach has been a failure because the country has done very little to contain the virus. Its why 160,000 Americans are dead, compared to only 7 dead in TAIWAN. TAIWAN is the worlds gold standard for policy on the coronavirus and what to do about it. Had the United States followed TAIWAN's lead, and sealed the country back in January, the United States would only have less than 160 dead rather than 160,000 dead and rising. No one in TAIWAN has died in nearly 3 months.
TAIWAN was more exposed to the pandemic than any other country in the world due to its travel links and proximity with China. Yet, as of today, this country of 24 million people has less than 500 infections and only 7 deaths. TAIWAN is the gold standard for responding to this pandemic. Sadly, the United States has had nearly the worst response of any country on the planet in fighting this pandemic.
True, but relative to China, so are the two American Continents. The two American continents are not connected to any other landmass and are separated by thousands of miles of ocean from China, far more than the 90 miles that separates China from Taiwan. Covid-19 came into the United States from several points Asia and Europe through AIR TRAVEL. It also arrived in the United States by Air Travel from South America. There is no evidence that ANYONE walked across a land border from Mexico or Canada and spread coronavirus in the United States.
That shows that TAIWAN has little to no advantage over the United States in stopping covid-19 simply because of geography. In fact, TAIWAN's much greater proximity to China, greater travel and trade links, made it far more vulnerable than the United States. John Hopkins University predicted TAIWAN would suffer more than any country. Yet, after almost a year, TAIWAN has only 7 deaths compared to 280,000 in the United States. TAIWAN has had no deaths since May 2020, while the United States just the other day had 2,800 deaths in one day.
Most people arrive in TAIWAN through Air Travel. Most people arrive in the United States through Air Travel. Remember that! The United States had the ability to block the virus like TAIWAN did, but failed because Donald Trump never took the virus seriously.
