The realities of the Trump administration

[healthmyths]

Only problem is Sandy, Trump spews whatever comes into his little pea brain, and his followers eat it up as gospel.

As far as him over ruling the FDA to get the vaccine out? Hey, not only do I think it's a bad idea, but no, science doesn't play politics, and him forcing them to release it early is a VERY bad idea.

Remember......................Trump doesn't believe in science, and when it comes to global climate change, he said that "the science could be wrong". Sorry, but science is based on facts and observable results.

Yea... just as the "science" of polling in 2016. Remember that science? They asked all the right people but the wrong question.
Trump is a business person ... not a politician. That's why most logical and rational people like Trump.
Trump would never have made any of the attached statements or policies. NEVER. Because they were politically driven...not reality!
I mean hoping businesses go bankrupt. Hoping 500,000 people get laid off. Hoping $100 billion a year in tax revenue goes away.
I mean hoping a 1 million barrel oil tanker wrecks traveling 1 mile on the open ocean vs 700 barrels traveling on dry land one mile?
Really. Declaring over half of all Americans have pre-existing conditions that keep them from getting insurance, and so when ACA goes active only 19,569 people with pre-existing conditions enrolled! Here... download the spreadsheet by state of these 19,569 people!

https://data.cms.gov/Marketplace-Pre-Existing-Condition-Insurance-Plan-/Monthly-Pre-Existing-Condition-Insurance-Plan-Enro/dpuq-z7nj

Think about it you people that complained about Pre-existing conditions for 170 million Americans as Obama LIED?
Only 19,569 enrolled! But of course facts like these go so way over dummies heads!
And these are what dummies like you believed from Obama? GEEZ how truly ignorant!!

Sorry, but you cannot compare polling to vaccines. They are two totally different things, and if you get the polling wrong, it won't kill anyone. Get the vaccine wrong, and there could be lots of dead people due to complications and side effects.

 

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

Today in his press conference, Trump would not commit to providing a peaceful transition of power after Election Day.

"Well, we're going to have to see what happens," Trump said.

The basis for Trump's opinion was his fantasy, his baseless false assertion that widespread mail-in voting is rife with fraud.

The Times reports, "President Trump’s refusal to commit to accepting the results of November’s election — something no other modern president has put in doubt — led several prominent Republicans, including Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, to insist Thursday that there would be a peaceful transfer of power come January. But they stopped short of directly criticizing the president."

“The winner of the November 3rd election will be inaugurated on January 20th,” Mr. McConnell wrote on Twitter. “There will be an orderly transition just as there has been every four years since 1792.”

"Mr. McConnell did not mention Mr. Trump in his comments, and he refused to elaborate on them. But his tweet was in response to the president’s comment on Wednesday, when a reporter asked if he would commit to a peaceful transition, that “We’re going to have to see what happens.'"

Your so ridiculous you talk to yourself .... HAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey, I was taught that it's okay to talk to yourself, and it's okay to answer yourself. It's only when you interrupt yourself that you have problems.

 

[Sandy Shanks]

As stated earlier, Trump has this nasty habit of creating fantasies, then basing his opinions on the fantasies he created.

Trump has another major issue. He believes all of life's major problems can be solved with rhetoric. He proved that point again today with his "vision" of a health care plan.

For over three years Trump has been promising Americans a health plan. In an interview with Fox News in July, Trump said he would be signing a "full and complete health care plan" within two weeks. In an August 3 press briefing, Trump said his health care plan would most likely be released before the end of the month. Trump promised a health care plan before the end of August. It never came.

We are still waiting.

Today, he gave us his "vision" of a health plan, And somehow he thinks he can create a new health plan with an executive order. Of course, that was meant for his base. They believe anything ... as long as it comes from Trump.

If Trump gets his way, within months, SCOTUS is likely to strike down what is left of Obamacare, the most important provision being, coverage for preexisting conditions.

If/when Obamacare is struck down, it will require legislation to replace it. Replacing a health care law with an E.O. is Trump fantasy. There are two huge problems in that regard.

One, Republican lawmakers can't agree on a health plan. They have been trying for ten years.

Therefore, two, there is no health care legislation in Congress to consider. The bill has not been written.

Welcome to Trump's vision of health care for millions of Americans.

The problem can be solved rather easily. Boot Trump and Trump Republicans out of Washington. Many Americans are disgusted with an administration that relies on fantasy and rhetoric.

Vote early!

Several prominent Republicans, including Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, to insist Thursday that there would be a peaceful transfer of power come January. But they stopped short of directly criticizing the president."

“The winner of the November 3rd election will be inaugurated on January 20th,” Mr. McConnell wrote on Twitter. “There will be an orderly transition just as there has been every four years since 1792.”

The Times reports, "The F.B.I. has not seen evidence of a “coordinated national voter fraud effort,” its director, Christopher A. Wray, told lawmakers on Thursday, undercutting President Trump’s efforts to stoke fears about mail-in ballots by claiming without evidence that they are an election threat.

"Any fraud effort would have to be widespread and well coordinated to change the election outcome, and carrying out that kind of fraud would be a “major challenge for an adversary,” Mr. Wray said."

National elections are conducted by hundreds of counties throughout the U.S., each having their own ballots and their own voting procedures.

Sadly, in the era of Trump, the Senate felt compelled to okay a resolution on the peaceful transition of power. According to The Hill, "The Senate passed a resolution on Thursday reaffirming its support for a peaceful transition of power, one day after President Trump refused to commit to such a transition next year if he loses in the November election.

"The resolution, offered by Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), passed by unanimous consent, meaning no senator objected to it."

In addition to relying on fantasies and rhetoric, Trump has another major problem borne by his lack of intellectual acuity. His extreme narcissism requires that he be the center of attention at all times even if it means making a complete fool of himself.

Trump refuses to commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose the election, and he bases this incredulous and singularly unpopular position on a fantasy called voter fraud that his own commission could not find (see post 178).

Trump is the least popular President in modern American history. As this thread shows, not even his supporters stand by him. Trump's supporters largely avoid Trump. If they say anything at all, they focus on the writer, not the issues, and certainly not Trump.

Put a different way, Trump lacks the power and the mandate to refuse to accept the results of the election should he be defeated, an extremely likely possibility.

In other words, the stand alone President is simply making a fool of himself.

Vote early!

 

[Sandy Shanks]

Trump reacted slowly to the impending pandemic in January and February despite warnings from intelligence and his own National Security Advisor. By his own admission to Woodward, Trump admitted lying to the American people about the threat. We got his fantasies instead. Currently, over 204,000 Americans have died from the virus, and the U.S. has 20% of the world's virus cases and 20% of the world's deaths from the virus. United States Coronavirus: 7,185,005 Cases and 207,515 Deaths - Worldometer

Trump looks really stupid doing it, but he has this nasty habit of creating fantasies, then basing his opinions on the fantasies he created. It is a sign of intellectual disparity and sheer desperation. He can't use reality or what his opponents say. He must invent a different reality or his opponent's dialogue.

Trump said today in a press conference that he could overrule the Food and Drug Administration on a vaccine. He said that FDA's determination to ensure the efficacy and safety of any vaccine was political.

Today in his press conference, Trump would not commit to providing a peaceful transition of power after Election Day.

Trump has another major issue. He believes all of life's major problems can be solved with rhetoric. He proved that point again today with his "vision" of a health care plan.

Sadly, in the era of Trump, the Senate felt compelled to okay a resolution on the peaceful transition of power.

Putin has chosen well.

He is trying duplicate the success he had in 2016.

The Times reports, "President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia is most likely continuing to approve and direct interference operations aimed at raising President Trump’s re-election chances, a recent C.I.A. analysis concluded, a signal that intelligence agencies continue to back their assessment of Russian activities despite the president’s attacks.

 

[Dick Foster]

Trump wanted a large bounce coming out of the Republican National Convention, and early evidence is that he did not receive one. The new ABC News/Ipsos poll is especially harsh for Trump. Although it did not poll the horse race, it did poll the candidates' favorability ratings.

Detailed findings:

Among all Americans, responses to the RNC are more negative than the DNC.

Slightly more than one in three Americans (37%) approve of what the Republicans said and did at their convention, compared to 59% who disapprove. After the DNC, 53% approved of the Democrats’ message.

Sixty-two percent feel the Republicans spent too much time criticizing the Democrats, compared to 51% of Americans who said Democrats spent too much time criticizing Republicans at their convention.

Currently, 31% of Americans feel favorable toward Donald Trump, unchanged from last week (32%) and similar to his standing before both conventions (35%).

The same is true for Joe Biden: 46% feel favorable, virtually the same as last week (45%). However, more Americans feel positive toward Biden than negative, an improvement from earlier in August.

Just over a third of Americans (35%) approve of how Trump is handling the response to the coronavirus, unchanged from the end of July (34%).

Views toward Trump, Biden unchanged after the conventions | Ipsos

Come November you're toast. Deny it if you want but it will just make things worse when reality bites you in the ass election morning after the election and you're bawling your eyes out and screaming at the sky yet again.

Look at this crazy Iranian, he been so wrong in hundreds of posts . Nobody even cares what he is chirping . It is obviously foreign propaganda .

 

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

Sandy Shanks, the fact you cannot type an intelligent paragraph catches my attention. So the question is, are you retarded, uneducated or both?

Go back and read some of his older posts, I mean you gotta be paid to be so wrong . I say he is Iranian. What a friggin tool. . . I think he actually says he is a Republican. Doesn't matter really he just talks to himself .

 

[Flopper]

Only problem is Sandy, Trump spews whatever comes into his little pea brain, and his followers eat it up as gospel.

As far as him over ruling the FDA to get the vaccine out? Hey, not only do I think it's a bad idea, but no, science doesn't play politics, and him forcing them to release it early is a VERY bad idea.

Remember......................Trump doesn't believe in science, and when it comes to global climate change, he said that "the science could be wrong". Sorry, but science is based on facts and observable results.

I don't think Trump pays much attention to campaign strategists, his advisors, or scientists or any experts. If he thinks it sounds good he'll tweet it without regard to facts, or what his own people think.

This may sound completely absurd but if Trump wins, I expect he will forgo the vaccine taking a wait and see attitude, raising questions about which is it's the best vaccine and whether it's really needed and of course telling the country it's an individual choice. Trump is a contrarian and if the CDC, FDA, medical researchers around the country push getting a vaccinated, he's going to take the contrarian view and the virus will be around a long time because we need very strong participation in a vaccination program if we want to see the country back to normal in 2022.

Trump has expressed his contrarian views time after time with coronavirus and it certainly has not been helpful. And while 2/3 of the people supports BLM, Trump ignores it. When over 80% of the people believed Obama was born in the US, Trump sticks with his birther conspiracy theory. He continually criticizes our allies for no particular reason, claimed he won the popular vote in 2016, and refuses to accept the truth of climate change even when 90% of the scientist support it. Long before he was elected president when asked about a conspiracy theory that man never landed on the moon, he says, "it could be true". Just about anything that is reasonable and normal and that is widely accepted, is quite likely to get a thumbs down by Trump.

Really. Declaring over half of all Americans have pre-existing conditions that keep them from getting insurance, and so when ACA goes active only 19,569 people with pre-existing conditions enrolled! Here... download the spreadsheet by state of these 19,569 people!

Only 19,569 enrolled! But of course facts like these go so way over dummies heads!
And these are what dummies like you believed from Obama? GEEZ how truly ignorant!!

Polls that use statistically valid samples are very accurate within their margin of error. That was the case in 2016 as in prior elections. In 2016 it was not the polls that were in error it was the people interpreted the polling data that blew it. For example a national poll with a representative sample of the US voters might predict 60% for A and 58% for candidate B. So A will win, right. Not necessarily, because the margin of error in the poll is plus or minus 3%. That means candidate A's votes may be anywhere between 58.2% and 61.8%. Candidate B's votes can be anywhere between 56.26% and 59.75%. So either A or B could be winners and the poll would be correct if the percentages were within the margin of error.

If the election is a presidential election, then national polls are meaningless because they predict only the popular vote.

In order for polls to predict a presidential election, state polls in all states have to be used to predict each state in order to determine the number electors for each candidate. The problem sometimes arises as it did in 2016 where the state polls were within the margin error in the swing states. Therefore you could not consider the results of these polls. Those trying to call the races in these states use tools to analyze the polling data and apply rules of thumb that have worked in previous election. If these people are wrong it is not because of any failure in polling but how the raw polling data is interpreted using those rules. This is was the primary problem in 2016. However, the problem was aggravated by insufficient polling in some of the swing states.

So you really can't blame the polls, you should blame the people calling the states where polls are in the margin of error. The bottom line is that polling results will not tell you who will be the winner in very close races. They are not accurate enough.

Hidden Trump voters could have big November impact

Despite intending to avoid Clinton’s 2016 mistake of misappropriating her resources, they may be recreating it unintentionally for Biden’s campaign.

Let’s look at CNN’s gaggle of polls. The Washington Post – ABC News pollsampled 1,000 adults. Not likely voters, not registered voters, not even eligible voters, just whoever answered the phone. They also oversampled Democrats by 6 percentage points and their sample contained 399 Trump supporters compared to 522 Biden supporters, over a 25 percent advantage for Biden.
It’s no wonder their survey found Biden favored over Trump 54 to 39 percent, reflecting the sample. Is this designed to inform or influence the electorate?

The Cato Institute’s poll revealed,
62 percent of Americans say they have political views they’re afraid to share.
These fears cross partisan lines. Majorities of Democrats (52%), independents (59%) and Republicans (77%) all agree
they have political opinions they are afraid to share
Strong liberals stand out, however, as the only political group who feel they can express themselves.

I quite agree. Many of Trump's fans are ashamed of their support for Trump. That explains why they rarely talk about him, and they never defend him. If they say anything at all in defense of Trump, they focus on the writer, not the issues and not what Trump said or did.

You have not seen the alternative. You have only seen what Trump has told you, and he passed the threshold of 20,000 lies a long time ago.

See link, or, perhaps, you don't want to know the truth.

McConnell is risking the distinct possibility that the GOP will not see the inside of the Oval Office and no GOP Senator will see the inside of the senate majority leader's office for a generation.

“Because our Senate majority committed to confirming President Trump’s excellent judicial nominees — and particularly because we committed to supporting his Supreme Court nominees — the American people expanded the Republican majority in 2018,” Mr. Graham wrote on Monday. “We should honor that mandate.”

The Republicans gained two seats. Up for grabs were 24 Democratic seats, and 11 Republican seats. The GOP won 13 seats. The Democrats won 22 seats. Graham failed to mention that. It was virtually a Democratic victory, and was in line with the rest of the 2018 results. The GOP got creamed, and lost control of the House. 2018 United States elections - Wikipedia

Things are different in 2020. In November, 21 GOP seats are up for grabs, and only 12 for the Democrats.

McConnell should think long and hard about what he is doing. Going against the will of the American people is not a wise career choice.

Bull shit. Tossing a net two incumbents is huge. It's extremely difficult no matter what State they are in

Hidden Trump voters could have big November impact
The left have brought the hidden Trump supporter problem on themselves. By “villainizing” Trump supporters, they have made a dangerously high percentage invisible.

I quite agree. Many of Trump's fans are ashamed of their support for Trump. That explains why they rarely talk about him, and they never defend him. If they say anything at all in defense of Trump, they focus on the writer, not the issues and not what Trump said or did.

In addition, Trump's followers can't explain why they support Trump.

It is an intelligent thing!

YOU are right about one thing... It is an intelligent thing!
Oh I'm an Trump supporter but I'm not going to be so pompous as to declare from the evidence the stupidity of TDS people.
I am though evidently much more sophisticated. Mature. Definitely deal with FACTS more frequently then TDS people.
Here are the FACTS:
1) The MSM bet on Hillary see attached FACTS!
2) As a result truly dumb people believe the MSM because they just don't like Trump.
3) BIG f...king deal! TDS people are like little kids.... boo-hoo... you called me a name. You are a bully!
Trump is a bully. Trump IS NOT like your typical ass kissing politician that uneducated, uninformed people believe.
Trump DOES evidently LOVE America more than the TDS people burning down buildings. Destroying people's lives.
Trump loves the law enforcement and military...evidenly something BLM,Democrats, etc. DON"T
Trump loves his family and his "LEGAL" immigrant wife.
And see that statement "LEGAL" is one of the major reasons I don't believe as the TDS people do the MSM!
FACT: right now google search:"Trump anti-immigrants" results 63,200 vs Trump anti-ILLEGAL immigrant" results 3,920!
NOW this simple gross exaggeration may mean NOTHING to you... but to over 50+ million people like me who are "LEGAL" immigrants or have "LEGAL" immigrants as relatives means to us several points:
1) THE MSM LIES! Trump's married to a legal immigrant his grandmother was a legal immigrant and 50+ million of us
ARE NOT anti-immigrant!
2) But dummies take the MSM's total LIE and spout off about the 50+million like me,Trump etc. and all this does is
make us disbelieve ANYTHING the MSM says and to quietly vote come 11/3/20 for Trump!
All because dummies believe all what the MSM that bet 96% of their donations on a loser!
SO not only does the MSM portray Trump wrong, BUT they write negative news which dummies (LIKE YOU believe)!
Speaks volumes for the intelligence of people LIKE YOU!

Only problem is Sandy, Trump spews whatever comes into his little pea brain, and his followers eat it up as gospel.

As far as him over ruling the FDA to get the vaccine out? Hey, not only do I think it's a bad idea, but no, science doesn't play politics, and him forcing them to release it early is a VERY bad idea.

Remember......................Trump doesn't believe in science, and when it comes to global climate change, he said that "the science could be wrong". Sorry, but science is based on facts and observable results.

Yea... just as the "science" of polling in 2016. Remember that science? They asked all the right people but the wrong question.
Trump is a business person ... not a politician. That's why most logical and rational people like Trump.
Trump would never have made any of the attached statements or policies. NEVER. Because they were politically driven...not reality!
I mean hoping businesses go bankrupt. Hoping 500,000 people get laid off. Hoping $100 billion a year in tax revenue goes away.
I mean hoping a 1 million barrel oil tanker wrecks traveling 1 mile on the open ocean vs 700 barrels traveling on dry land one mile?
Really. Declaring over half of all Americans have pre-existing conditions that keep them from getting insurance, and so when ACA goes active only 19,569 people with pre-existing conditions enrolled! Here... download the spreadsheet by state of these 19,569 people!

https://data.cms.gov/Marketplace-Pre-Existing-Condition-Insurance-Plan-/Monthly-Pre-Existing-Condition-Insurance-Plan-Enro/dpuq-z7nj

Think about it you people that complained about Pre-existing conditions for 170 million Americans as Obama LIED?
Only 19,569 enrolled! But of course facts like these go so way over dummies heads!
And these are what dummies like you believed from Obama? GEEZ how truly ignorant!!

Sorry, but you cannot compare polling to vaccines. They are two totally different things, and if you get the polling wrong, it won't kill anyone. Get the vaccine wrong, and there could be lots of dead people due to complications and side effects.

If you can't use it to make accurate predictions, then it's not a science. It's Voo-Doo. It doesn't matter whether anyone dies or not.

it appears you are trying to justify pipelines and discredit the ACA. I thought your filthy party held exactly the opposite opinion.

I'm confused. The first sentence makes sense.
YES I am " justify pipelines and discredit the ACA.
When you have a 1 million barrel oil tanker traveling 1 mile on the open ocean is MORE risky, does more damage than
a pipeline carrying only 700 barrels over 1 mile of pipeline on dry land. That should be obvious.
And discrediting ACA... well politifact.org called Obama "sloppy" when Obama counted 10 million ILLEGALs as part of his 46 million uninsured Americans. PolitiFact - Number of those without health insurance about 46 million
That Politifact.org DIDN"T consider the "sloppiness " that 14 million Americans counted as UNINSURED were actually but due to Obama's sloppiness didn't know THEY WERE ELIGIBLE for Medicaid! So instead of 46 million it became 22 million. AGAIN facts

But here is now MY confusion you wrote...."filthy party held exactly the opposite opinion."

Confused by what opinion?

Please tell me what my "filthy party"'s opinion regarding?
