    He is the CEO i.e. captain of the ship. His message should one of encouragement and motivational support to the country. Behind the scenes it's his job to ensure the right people are put in a position to make the right decisions or get rid of them if they dont.

    None of us know what is going on in the backrooms but in my opinion his briefings to the country are what I expect out of a leader in hard times. That said he does still have a penchant for actions which are childish for example the whole Romney test thing.

    Hey sport that’s right. Problem is he’s had as many as 3 months to react and he just started. He was warned in December, ignored it. Presented with evidence when it hit China....did nothing but limit entry , not even a complete closure. Talked the threat down in February and STILL did nothing to prepare. Had this been a battle and Trump was the general it would have been The Little Big Horn.

    I honestly think if there weren't such a large contingency on the left that insist on turning this into a referendum on Trump, no one would have even bothered to look up the H1N1 numbers. To me, its not about comparing the Trump response to the Obama response, its about comparing the media response to both events.

    You haven been repeating this for over a month and every time its false.

    Further, you seem to forget Impeachment ended on Feb 6th........

    Trump banned China travel the 1st week of Feb before the trial even ended.

    That is such a f***ing lie. The WHO didn’t even declare it an emergency until Jan 30th. In the meeting on Jan 22-23 at the WHO, it was determined that it was too early to declare an emergency. There is no way Trump could have shut down the nation in January for an uncertain declaration of a new disease. Trump could not have known the extent of the existence of the disease in the US. At the time, it was just a nursing home in Washington, and a cruise ship.

    You are just irrational as hell .... and you just can’t seem to accept that this virus hit EVERYONE by surprise and the world as a whole is having to figure this out in real time.

    Right after the World Health Organization declared it an emergency.

    Apparently many stores are not taking cash money right now. Its only use is toilet paper.

    Who can launder money? could be a good side business in these troubled times.
