News Is coronavirus a wild card?

Mostly I agree with you, but he set the tone that it wasn't that big of deal which caused a huge amount of people to not take this very seriously until it was way too late. He is our president, and I will support him in this time where he needs our support.

I would not say he is doing a wonderful job, that is sunshine pumping and way to early of a call. That's like saying the coach is doing a great job right after the first quarter. And that isn't even a great analogy, I guess if the football coach was coaching some sport he has never even heard of. Its an impossible scenario and don't blame him for the faults that already existing in our shit hole of a government. Its the entire fucking government, its a clusterfuck. And in that sense he holds much of the blame, spread it out among all of them.

How about this, lets not judge things until its over. We have a huge amount of road in front of us. And this thing could come back in waves if we are not careful. We could be looking at this same shit next winter. So I am holding judgement and will allow the leaders to lead.

I am seeing a surprising amount of my Republican friends not praising him like they normally do. He has fucked up here a good bit, lets see if he can rally the troops and get us through the rest of this better. History will look back at this with a microscope.

 

I would say we were about 1 to 2 weeks slow to react, but really hard to say so much bad information leading into this. China has a lot of the blame here. The impeachment and the partisan politics will go down as one of the biggest factors if this really goes horrible going forward. Both sides are to blame for that.

 

This is from USA Today so it must be fake news and regardless too many will blame Obama, me or anyone but Trump but maybe just maybe one or two will begin to see the truth.

And "setting a tone" became such an egregious offense as to be worthy of being blasted by the media when? Oh yes. It was way before he took office that the concept of integrity in journalism was cancelled.

 

OK, say this thing kills 100K. You OK with 10 million unemployed over it?

No one ever answers, but what did he fuck up? What would have been better?

 

And this is based on what? Your opinion or expert knowledge?

I posted the opinion of experts. They disagree.....

 

this is definitely true. the media's main motivation in everything now is to be as anti-trump as possible, as if they believe they will win a pulitzer prize if they are the least friendly to trump. and thats their main issue. always.

i think social media has changed us into a more performative society. and the performance most lefties want to most strongly demonstrate, because it wins the most social points, is anti-trumpism. make every story about the failure of trump, or how racist he and his followers are.

and even if you are not really a trump fan at all you have to watch the news knowing they lie about trump constantly. i barely accept any criticism of trump from the media anymore because i dont turst them. and again, i didnt vote for him and never will.

 

I get it. Things can always be done "better", but for the level of criticism being thrown around, no one seems to have a different solution; and sorry, shutting down the country for months is NOT a viable solution. Neither is having 320+ million tests.
