So, at the time trump was lying to the American people and downplaying the COVID-19 crisis, his economic team was privately giving briefings to select wealthy party donors about the upcoming crisis... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/14/...p-investors.html?referringSource=articleShare
it went from everyone mad at china for the virus to everyone mad at trump for the virus.. george w bush would have used the same us vs the tearist ( in this case china) and coasted to victory. w bush would have made the virus a unifying moment ( fake to be sure) but the move would have brought us all together. instead we have a complete flubbing end with him being ground zero. its really unbelievable. dude was on 1yard line up by 30 and lost it
Got to hand it to Trump the political genius - Not only did he get COVID19 by taking no precautions and having superspreader rallies, he's managed to engineer a third new high in COVID19 infections to coincide with Election Day. Also - **** anybody anywhere ever who ever portrayed Trump as a political genius or savant or anything other than a lucky sack of ****.
crazy video . and to think repugs and bigots on this bbs want to talk about ny when red states/ failed leadership 200k dead is the stat
It is impossible to be Trump's orbit and retain one's dignity without being attacked by him. I admire how Fauci has handled himself throughout all of this.
If the Dems retake Congress, it won't be a "Blue State Problem", but a "Humanitarian/American Problem". Opioid Epidemic much? Shifty little shiteating clowns. You know their flank will be the "exploding deficit" and them not "spending one more penny to the Beast" Pwese Pass Pandemic P-P-Bill Pewosi! You meanie! I just remembered you wanted Death Panels for Grandma infected with Rona! I want muh Meddycare now that Obummercare is shitcanned!!!!!
Trump has been the laughing stock of the whole entire world during this pandemic. The fact that he still calls a zoonotic virus "the CHINA virus" when the last pandemic was the "swine flu" and it started in Mexico and USA and no god damn fool called it the "North American virus". Trump is beyond disgusting. The most provoking part is that this disgusting excuse of a human being got the most amazing world class treatment as a billionaire and a president and he he even got medicine that's not even available for the public. And he has the audacity to downplay the seriousness of this virus, meanwhile more than 200 000 americans have died during this pandemic. Donald Trump is easily one of the most disgusting human beings on earth. I am not even american but I truly feel for you guys and I hope all your relatives and friends have been safe during this pandemic.
While Trump and his admin lied to the American people, his admin gave private briefings to investors and warn them. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/14/us/politics/stock-market-coronavirus-trump.html As Virus Spread, Reports of Trump Administration’s Private Briefings Fueled Sell-Off A hedge fund consultant’s summary of private presentations by White House economic advisers fanned investor worries. On the afternoon of Feb. 24, President Trump declared on Twitter that the coronavirus was “very much under control” in the United States, one of numerous rosy statements that he and his advisers made at the time about the worsening epidemic. He even added an observation for investors: “Stock market starting to look very good to me!” But hours earlier, senior members of the president’s economic team, privately addressing board members of the conservative Hoover Institution, were less confident. Tomas J. Philipson, a senior economic adviser to the president, told the group he could not yet estimate the effects of the virus on the American economy. To some in the group, the implication was that an outbreak could prove worse than Mr. Philipson and other Trump administration advisers were signaling in public at the time. The next day, board members — many of them Republican donors — got another taste of government uncertainty from Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council. Hours after he had boasted on CNBC that the virus was contained in the United States and “it’s pretty close to airtight,” Mr. Kudlow delivered a more ambiguous private message. He asserted that the virus was “contained in the U.S., to date, but now we just don’t know,” according to a document describing the sessions obtained by The New York Times. The document, written by a hedge fund consultant who attended the three-day gathering of Hoover’s board, was stark.“What struck me,” the consultant wrote, was that nearly every official he heard from raised the virus “as a point of concern, totally unprovoked.” ... The president’s aides appeared to be giving wealthy party donors an early warning of a potentially impactful contagion at a time when Mr. Trump was publicly insisting that the threat was nonexistent. Interviews with eight people who either received copies of the memo or were briefed on aspects of it as it spread among investors in New York and elsewhere provide a glimpse of how elite traders had access to information from the administration that helped them gain financial advantage during a chaotic three days when global markets were teetering.
How about your flu vaccination program? Have flu shots become available over there yet? Here they have only bought enough for 40% of the population. But everyone and their mother is planning to get it since its free so they have raised the criteria. Studies show that getting the flu vaccine boosts the immune system also against covid19 -apart from protecting from influenza. So go get it if you can.
But we had the head of the task farce cool headedly tell us it was a success weeks ago. Pious Evangelicals can't bold faced lie to the American people like that!!
