Trump Report Card, March

[Biff_Poindexter]

He said some truly stupid and characteristically Trumpian things at first, and that can't be changed.

When rumors were going around about the COVID19 virus, nobody knew what was what. Trump, an eternal optimist, was downplaying it until we had people come here from China and die in Washington state, and then he dug into the topic and issued a travel ban from China, and set up his task force. He directed the CDC to look into a vaccine a week prior to that.

He was not taking it seriously until people started dying, which I guess is normal for normies that dont binge on internet news all day like me.

Revisionist history is fun........

 

[JimBowie1958]

Who knows. Maybe it's the one that Trump has been pushing on us, declaring a national emergency, throwing trillions at it 'n stuff. Trumpsters are very angry at him for going huge government.

Some are, mostly libertarian losers, but the concept of a nation is very popular with conservatives, and part of that is we pull together in a time of crisis like this one. Libertarians will never attain power. Paul Ryan was about as close as they got and many called him a squish anyway.

 

[SweetSue92]

So far, Trump has done very well in anticipating the need for travel bans, hospital expansions and accessing every Federali resource available to him. Appointing Pence to head the task force was spot on.

As a result we are not suffering the death/million rate that the oh-so-sophisticated and Erudite Europeans have been, led by their neoMarxist EU leadership. And why doesnt anyone show total EU stats for this plague which is impacted by stupid EU open border policies?

View attachment 315739

Total EU stats would be over 220k cases, nearly 2,000 deaths in the last 24 hours, and around 14,000 deaths.

Compare this to Obama's response to H1N1 and Trump is way ahead of that poor performance.

Trump is doing a fantastic job when you compare his resp[onse to the UK, the EU and the Chicoms. Our death rate is very low, around that of South Korea, not Italy thanks to Trump.

Honestly I would give him a solid A. I would give him an A+ but I thought he was a little hasty saying open everything by Easter. I appreciate the sentiment and agree, but putting a deadline out there is just fodder for the hyenas.

Still, he gets a solid A--and many Americans agree, obviously.

They do have something that makes it better.

Dem governors can't have that of course, they'd rather see people die I guess. Fits the narrative. Ghouls.

Why is it fodder?

It is him putting his money where his mouth is...he knows more about this virus than anyone else does -- especially libs and the media -- he should show the world that everything is fine and start holding rallies today....

If he doesn't -- it makes it seem as tho he is just running his mouth.....

Does it hurt to be this much of a sycophant for someone that you are ultimately going to pretend you never supported years from now??

You are actually going to claim he didn't say those things that YOU KNOW he said??

 

[Care4all]

Keep cheerleading this Wuhan flu. Every single time you marxist shitstains latch onto a hoax, DJT takes a big smelly steamer in your face. And that's because he's superior to you in every way imaginable. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

What hoax?

Trump has referred to the mainstream media coverage as a hoax and fake news. He is not, and to my knowledge never has, called the COVID19 virus a hoax.

He implied it... that's why a lot of his supporters believed the virus itself, and the lethality of it, was a hoax, a democratic hoax.....

Most are eating crow right now, claiming they never doubted the seriousness and mortality rates of this virus....

[rightwinger]

I don't fault Trump for this coronavirus response -- Trump is just the PR guy....he has made some serious messaging gaffes that will probably hang around his neck for years...

But when it comes to the logistical aspects of the response -- I highly doubt Trump has much say in that.....all he wants to know is what parts he can take credit for and what parts can he blame on someone else

He said some truly stupid and characteristically Trumpian things at first, and that can't be changed. Hopefully enough people knew not to take him seriously.

At some point, he figured out his bullshit wasn't working and threw everything -- including the kitchen sink -- at it. The biggest government in our history. Kudlow says this could end up being $6T, and we'll clean up later. My guess is that will work. We have to do what we have to do.

And, hopefully, no one is paying attention when Trump speaks at those bizarro pressers.

Trump got it wrong from the start as he downplayed the risk.

But in early March, he started to provide leadership and responsibility.

Lately, he has shown his impatience and is signaling he wants to end tight controls.

Not exactly stable leadership

What is most perplexing is his inconsistency. One moment dismissing the threat, the next, a stern father figure.

What is most perplexing is his inconsistency. One moment dismissing the threat, the next, a stern father figure.

I think it points pretty clearly to a general lack of intellectual elasticity, under-developed maturity, and a lack of fundamental human empathy.

I'm not being hyperbolic or nasty. We sure as hell all have our weaknesses. I'm being absolutely literal. This is just who he is.

I have a Trumpian friend who has told me for the second time that this will go away when it gets warm. He had no idea of course (they never do) that Costa Rica has over 200 cases. He does now but I left it up to him to try to locate Costa Rica on a map.
