Trump in Iowa: I wouldn’t support a Covid shutdown.

[expat500]

Neither would I.

I didn't participate in the last one. I won't participate In the next one.

It’s raised its ugly head again. The hospital somewhere in the Levant, where l am right now, won’t let you in to the building without a covid test and a mask.

I had to go in for unexpected emergency surgery, and argued the toss with them. And got away with it.

Obama had created a pandemic response team and a pandemic response manual. Trump cancelled both.

Obama may have enhanced a team. When I was in public health (prior to Obama) there was a pandemic response team in place at that time as well.

"No, I didn't actually have a shut down," he says in the video and that is technically true, but he lies when he claims to be a federalist and thus, supported Republican governors who didn't shut down. Arguably, Trump couldn't have authorized or enforced a nationwide shut down whether he wanted to or not, but he definitely criticized and threatened those who did not and those who he felt opened back up too early.

The White House on Monday gave a delayed news conference on the novel coronavirus as markets plunged and a top health official promised additional guidelines.

This is yet another entry on a long list of lies, waffling, and taking positions in direct conflict with the beliefs of his supporters. At this point, I think MAGA needs to just come out and admit that there is literally nothing this man can do that will get them to stop supporting him.

As awful as Trump is he’s still a far better choice than Progressive Fascism

Lockdowns and quarantining of HEALTHY PEOPLE was UNPRECEDENTED until the ELECTION INFECTION of Covid 19.

So, apparently a deadly disease after all.

HOLY CRAP... Trump was the reason we couldn't go see people in nursing homes? I'd forgotten all about that.

Three liberal states had the highest number of nursing home deaths from Covid: Massachusetts (1,205), New Jersey (2,050), and New York (3,505).

The red states had the least nursing home deaths from Covid: Florida (248), Texas (207), Virginia (78), etc.

Now tell me again how Trump had anything to do with that.

Taz quotes a “TECHNICALLY TRUE” comment by Trump and gets butthurt. HOW CAN ANYONE STILL SUPPORT HIM!

I guess the truth is offensive to Bidenista cultists.

Yet another lie you ignorant uninformed leftists keeps repeating.

Educate yourselves:

Fact check: White House didn't fire pandemic response unit when it was disbanded in 2018

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Hillary would have done better than trump.

There's no evidence of that, particularly since most of the actions taken by the Democrats have since shown to be useless.

Yeah right lol. That inconsistent dumbfuck would support whatever he thought would get him the most support.
The man has no convictions. None.

Trump disbanded NSC pandemic unit that experts had ...

And he did state, "No, I don't take ANY responsibility at all."

Fact check: White House didn't fire pandemic response unit when it was disbanded in 2018

Yes, PLEASE READ and educate yourself jgalt.
Your ineffective misinformation is that trump didn't fire THE ENTIRE unit, but it's clear the unit was disbanded, but some members moved to the units.

Some personnel remained in the Trump administration​

Though the unit was disbanded, not all members of the team left. Some moved to other units in the NSC, like those focused on weapons of mass destruction and international organizations, per The Washington Post.
