The strength of the Trump economy.....it truly is amazing. This is why we need Trump in office.

[JackOfNoTrades]

An explanation of how strong the Trump economy is............this is why we need Trump to win in November.

Yep. At its height, almost 20% unemployment. Now down to 8.4%. Hippie Stink is correct, that's staggering. Now we're just recovering what was lost during Trump's epic blunder of a response to the virus. Most of it didn't have to happen.
Sorry, that's why Trump needs to go in November...along with as many of his Republican enablers as possible.

Trump's biggest mistake was listen to the democrats and shut down the economy. The democrats have done nothing but weaponize
what they asked for and used it against Trump. Just a political game by the democrats at the expense of citizens livelihood.
What I thought would take 2-3 years to recover from the mistake has just taken months to recover....thanks to Trump.
The democrats and their political games can go to hell, they deserve no better.
Trump 2020

Well, unless you were completely asleep, Republican and Democrat governors, mayors, and business leaders had to step in to combat the virus when there was absolutely no leadership coming from Trump or anyone connected with the White House. As I recall, he was too busy golfing, tweeting, hanging at Mar-A-Lago, and shadowing the Democratic primaries with his pep rallies. It wasn't until the adults had to step in on March 13th to make him take it somewhat seriously. And you're living in la-la land if you think we've recovered. The drop to 8.4% is just people going back to work from furlough. That's not a recovery. There have been hundreds of thousands of jobs lost never coming back and thousands of businesses shuttered that are never going to reopen. This is what disturbs me about the blind Trump support. It's crossed the line from being amusing to being downright dangerous. You people really do live in your own reality.

If Trump did nothing, like CNN told you, then why did the US have ventilators and protective gear so rapidly. Trump had everyone prepared for the worst case scenario, and that had little to do with the governors. If you have trouble with Trump allowing states to determine how they will open up their states, that is a completely different issue. The record number of tests and the unprecedented search for a vaccine also need to be mentioned. Attacking Trump for covid is a petty political attack. Trump didn't tell everybody they were going to die, so you try to make some political hay.

Protective gear? You mean the stuff that's STILL in short supply six months in? Ventilators?..the ones governors had to beg for, and then compete for? Testing still lagging behind every major 1st world country and even some 2nd and 3rd world countries?
Sigh...one more time.

A detailed timeline of all the ways Trump failed to respond to the coronavirus

The federal coronavirus response shows a president dead set on avoiding responsibility for the pandemic.

I can only shake my head at this point. There are people who really believe this stuff.

It is hard to believe. We have high unemployment, people getting evicted from their homes, and mortgage delinquencies spiking, but the Trumpettes think everything is great.

Nobody is saying it's great. We are in the same position most in the world are. What we are saying though is that there are many things ANY US President cannot control, and viruses are one of them. What we are saying is that things are improving all the time.

Other countries couldn’t control it either, but they sure did a better job dealing with it.

And other countries have more deaths than we do. Remember we are a free country of 330 million people. Our first mistake was trusting our agencies. The FDA only allowed one entity to have those test kits, and that was the CDC. When we started using them, they proved defective. Surprise, surprise. By the time that came to light, they were nearly impossible to get because the rest of the world needed them too.

Trump made many mistakes. Nobody has more deaths than we do.

Because of our population, not per capita.

Mortality Analyses - Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center

How does mortality differ across countries? Examining the number of deaths per confirmed case and per 100,000 population. A global comparison.

coronavirus.jhu.edu

That doesn’t make us look much better. Wealthy countries did much better than us.

Point is this lie created by the Democrats that we have the most deaths is exactly that, a lie.

No we have the most deaths. That is a fact.

Hmmm, I'll have to contact John Hopkins and tell them their research is faulty. Brain from USMB said so.

They would agree with me. We have had the most deaths.

Because we have more people than other countries.

Uh-huh, and you trust China, the makers of this virus to tell the truth?

China and other countries have socialized medicine whereas we don't. Trump made the mistake of promising money to facilities that treated Covid patients, meaning there is a financial advantage of pushing the envelope to determine Covid patents and deaths. In socialized medical countries, it doesn't matter to facilities if they are treating you for Covid or cancer.

My Uncle died about a month ago of colon cancer at the age of 94. I was in shock when my 89 year old father called me to say he was under quarantine.

The family got a call that this was probably it for my Uncle, so they raced to the private lake community to say their final goodbyes. They are a tight bunch, so hugs and kisses were in order.

When my Uncle got to the hospital, he tested positive for Covid, so everybody was either tested as well, or placed under quarantine. Out of the 11 people in that room, nobody else had it. Making the situation even more mysterious is my Uncle couldn't walk. He didn't go anywhere. The only non-family member he was in contact with was his next door neighbor who was also his care giver, and she tested negative as well.

So how did this isolated dying man get a virus when nobody around him had it? Since it was determined he had it, how is it he didn't give this highly contagious virus to anybody else?

What does all the above have to do with which country has the largest population? Didnt you state that the U.S. does?

So, you're saying that China intentionally created the virus and unleashed it on the world?

Your comprehension skills are not that good, are they? I said we have a larger population than other countries, not the largest.

Yes, they intentionally created the virus, but releasing it was an accident. These neanderthals eat bats for crying out loud, and so it seems, they were experimenting with the virus since bats and other animals carry it.

That aside, China did not immediately warn the rest of the world as to how contagious or deadly this thing was. They stopped all domestic flights in and out of Wuhan, but allowed international flights to continue, so they knew exactly what they were dealing with, and didn't care about anybody else.

Yup. China is to blame for this whole mess yet the lefty loons keep blaming Trump. Imbeciles.

Umm both can be blamed for their respective failures

Nope the only one to blame for this mess is China. They are the ones who released this virus on the world.

Hell the Dems called Trump a racist when he wanted to stop flights into the US and they told everyone the virus was nothing.

I see two failures and Trumps actions isn't one of them.

Again with the straight up lies. Why do you persist?
No evidence this virus was man made or that China released it..accidentally or otherwise.
No one called Trump a racist..and he didn't stop flights into the US. Just restricted the travel of Chinese nationals the US.
I see a litany of failures. Trump is directly responsible for the colossal failure of a response.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Just throw out the facts and make shit up as you go along can a person come up with a post like that.

Facts don't seem to mean much to the dumbass so I'm not wasting my time answering his stupid ass. What a maroon

That's because you have nothing but your blind devotion to Trump and your constant repeating of right wing talk radio lies....which will still be lies no matter how many time you type them.

Blind devotion?? LMAO No I pay attention to what's going on and you obviously don't. I don't listen to right wing talk radio at all.

You have nothing but your blind hatred of Trump so facts mean nothing to you.

Take a hike you whiny little shit.

You pay attention to whatever alt-right media serves your narrative.
I don't hate Trump, I just have no respect for him. Even less for people who support him
in spite of the horrifically incompetent job he's done as President.

You're dismissed.

Nope I watch and learn every day and I don't watch right media or any other media.

Trump isn't perfect. No one is but he's done a great job for this country and I respect that even if you don't.

Facts don't matter to you at all. Like Meister said, you throw them out and make up your own.

Your laughable ass is dismissed.

www.vox.com

So why did the test lag at the beginning and for weeks afterwards? It's because we only had one test kit allowed by the FDA, and those failed miserable. How is Trump responsible for that?

Do you know why DeBlasio didn't have ventilators? New York sold all their backup ventilators off because they didn't want to pay for maintenance. That's Trump's fault?

President Trump did achieve the 3% growth mark that Obama failed to achieve. Just checked the current BEA tables and indeed, even in the current release Trump has achieved 3% for 2018.

So indeed, Brain did lie about that.

You either don't understand economics or you lie as much as trump.
But the increase in gross domestic product hasn’t hit 3%. It was only 2.3% in 2017 and 2.9% in 2018, when the cuts kicked in. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates only 2.3% for 2019. Overall, annual GDP growth under Mr. Trump has averaged only a few tenths of a point better than that of President Obama’s second term.

You are wrong.

And that chart is annual GDP growth.

Trump was great on the Chinese flu......the one unleashed by the government that paid joe bidens son 1.5 billion dollars in a business deal he made while flying with his dad on Air Force 2..you know, our tax payer funded aircraft........

Trump made sure the governors and mayors had all the resources they needed, from ventilators, to hospitals and bed space......then the democrat governors put the sick into nursing homes and caused the deaths of 10s of thousands of elderly Americans....

You won't blame the democrats for actually killing those people.......but lie about Trump.

[JoeB131]

LOL...you still haven't figure out that the US has over-reported COVID deaths while other countries have under-reported. You also probably haven't figure out that the more we test, the more cases we will find and we have tested more than any other country in the world. I might add, if people haven't been tested and they die, they won't be reported as a COVID death, thus lower rates in other countries. Sorry about those pesky little facts.

Actually, if anything, our Covid Numbers are probably low. The difference is those other countries moved to contain early... We still are fighting over masks.

Masks became part of the Culture Wars...

Never should have happened.

I even use your source and you keep lying. Sad. Here is a good one from the most recent release:
Real gross domestic income (GDI) decreased 33.1 percent in the second quarter, compared with a decrease of 2.5 percent in the first quarter. The average of real GDP and real GDI, a supplemental measure of U.S. economic activity that equally weights GDP and GDI, decreased 32.4 percent in the second quarter, compared with a decrease of 3.7 percent in the first quarter (table 1).

MAGA!

Actually, how many more jobs would come back if those BLUE STATES would let their people get back to work.......Joe.
Your tribe is the one who is on the hook for that. Now, go back to sleep.

I wouldn't know. We are reopened in Illinois, it's still tough to find a job here.

A lot of companies are STILL imposing strict guidelines on top of what the state demands.

Called my favorite Pizza Place, they are closed for a week because an employee tested positive for TRUMP PLAGUE. That wasn't the state's decision, it was theirs.

Try California and New York, they still have a lot of sectors locked down, except for the Solon that Nan' frequents.

That aside, China did not immediately warn the rest of the world as to how contagious or deadly this thing was. They stopped all domestic flights in and out of Wuhan, but allowed international flights to continue, so they knew exactly what they were dealing with, and didn't care about anybody else.

Actually, China did exactly what should have been done, they quarantined the region... We didn't when we had the first outbreaks in NYC and Washington State.

Yeah, they quarantined the region and didn't tell anybody else about it. At the beginning, Italy got hit very hard. Unlike Americans, Europeans only buy their own products. So some of the industry brought in Chinese workers so they could manufacture for cheap and still be able to put the Made In Italy label on it. Most of the Chinese were from Wuhan. They were flying back and forth and nobody suspected a thing.

LOL...you still haven't figure out that the US has over-reported COVID deaths while other countries have under-reported. You also probably haven't figure out that the more we test, the more cases we will find and we have tested more than any other country in the world. I might add, if people haven't been tested and they die, they won't be reported as a COVID death, thus lower rates in other countries. Sorry about those pesky little facts.

Actually, if anything, our Covid Numbers are probably low. The difference is those other countries moved to contain early... We still are fighting over masks.

Masks became part of the Culture Wars...

Never should have happened.

190,000 Dead. Trump Plague.

A US President cannot force people to wear masks. Even states are being sued for their requirements and will be for some time in the future. That is unless it goes all the way to the Surpeme Court for their decision on it. Unlike many countries, we have a US Constitution to guarantee our freedoms while at the same time, limiting governments ability to control our lives.

We have a US Constitution to guarantee our freedom to spread a deadly virus if we choose to...got it
