4. Trump didn’t act quickly and isn’t doing enough
If you listen to Democrats, Trump didn’t act quickly enough and is botching the government response. Joe Biden has tried to perpetuate this falsehood by giving press briefings telling Trump what he should be doing.
The big problem with that is that when Biden has offered his own plan, he simply took things that Trump had already done, said he should do those things, and pretended they were his own ideas.
In addition to this, one of the most significant actions taken by Trump, the travel ban with China, was actually opposed by Joe Biden, and Trump’s critics on the left. Unfortunately for them, WHO experts admitted Trump’s actions saved lives in the United States.
Way to go, Joe!
Here again, 4 and 7 are the same thing. Both
dissolved by the facts.
Far as I know Joe Biden doesn't even hold an office, so let's use him for a distraction.
Trump wasted months. His government didn’t start purchasing necessary supplies until mid March.
WASHINGTON (AP) — After the first alarms sounded in early January that an outbreak of a novel coronavirus in China might ignite a global pandemic, the Trump administration squandered nearly two months that could have been used to bolster the federal stockpile of critically needed medical supplies an

Snowflakes continue to claim Trump wasted time.....yet ignore the fact that Democrats were opposing his Travel ban, calling him a Xenophobe for acting when he did, and telling their constituents to keep herding around in large numbers, ride the subway, come to China Town, nothing to see here...etc..
LOL!
Trump is in charge of the federal government response to COVID-19. Not Pelosi. Not Biden. Not any Democrat. Trump gets the intelligence briefings. He runs the CDC. Every one of these people report to him. Not Pelosi. Not Biden. Not any Democrat. He has the full suite of emergency powers and authority granted to him by Congress. He has the ability to spend federal money. Not Pelosi. Not Biden. Not any Democrat.
If he doesn't want to take charge, he's welcome to step down anytime.
Original prediction millions dead, today's prediction 60,000 dead. You can tank Trump now.
For what?
He saved over a million lives. Maybe you pricks shouldn't politicize an epidemic, to try to make your opponent look bad. Hope you enjoyed your confinement for nothing and flushing our economy down the tubes. All this work you to guarantee Trumps victory! Thanks!
"Saved over a million lives"??
--- based on??
Lemme show ya what saving lives actually looks like Hunior. Here are some countries that DIDN'T drag their feet reacting to a pandemic.
Here's what "flattening the curve" looks like:
Here's what it looks like even flatter:
For comparison here's what we look like having lollygagged our testing:
Here's what the daily new data looks like:
Whereas, "you are here":
Now compare these numbers. See especially that last column showing how seriously a country took testing and how quickly they rolled it out. Iceland was one of the places where it was discovered that up to half of positive tests were showing no symptoms at all, meaning those healthy-seeming people were (and still are) wandering around playing the role of Typhoid Mary. Notice also the fourth and sixth columns indicating how many cases resolved in death versus how many resolved in recovery.

Iceland: six deaths out of 960 resolutions, more than 99% survival.
South Korea: 204 deaths out of 7177 resolutions, 97%.
Is that because they took better care of their patients? Not really. It's because they got out in front of it more quickly and responsibly.
