    Just watched the whole Iowa’s speech posted as proof in Right wing commercials and ads. It’s without a doubt unrelated to the ban. So that lie is toast.

    March 9th
    In Washington, Anthony Fauci, the head of the infectious diseases division at the National Institutes of Health, was testifying before Congress, and he was asked about basketball. Specifically, he was asked to compare the courses of action that had been followed by the Ivy League, which had cancelled its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, and the N.B.A., which had thus far resisted calls to disrupt its games. “We would recommend that there not be large crowds,” Fauci said. “If that means not having any people in the audience when the N.B.A. plays, so be it. But as a public-health official, anything that has large crowds is something that would give a risk to spread.”

    March 11
    Trump said in an Oval Office address: "The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low."
    Tedros said the WHO had "made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic."

    March 12
    NBA suspends season. Followed by the BIG10 and other conferences and finally the NCAA cancels all winter and spring sports. These actions taken while Trump still described the sense of risk as very, very low. These actions that cost them 10s of billions of lost revenues jump started the US into action that undoubtedly saved many, many lives.

    Here comes the band wagon.

    March 17
    Trump told reporters: "This is a pandemic. ... I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."

    Trump has been a follower throughout. Sporting groups, the WHO and governors from many states got things rolling not Trump and no amount of history rewriting on his part is going to change time except to those who are politically blind and believe his lies. It's long overdue for him to stop trying to protect his brand through rhetoric and spend that time on working forward.

    Trump has led the charge, democrats took WEEKS to follow suit. Trump has taken his experts advice every step of the way and saved many lives in the process.

    So tell me, does the tooth fairy leave money when you have a tooth pulled?
    WEEKS? Do you realize that it's only been a month since Trump acknowledged there was a problem? Two weeks before that Congress passed an $8 billion package to support initial responses to Covid-19? That Trump initially rejected it as being too much? Prior to their action Trump was playing the Simpson's chief of police, "Nothing to see here folks. Move along."

    Yeah, yeah, we all know about his travel ban from China that incidentally came after airlines had already halted flights to Wuhan. If that had been meant to halt the spread then he would not have halted travel from non-endemic areas and he would have quarantined those that were let through. There have been over 400,000 people traveled from China to the US since his "ban". The effect of those types of bans are minimal unless you completely control them. New York's outbreak began from European travelers.

    He is now and likely always will be more concerned with his brand than doing a good job. Everything he has done is in reaction to what others have done before him.

    What is the maximum number of deaths in which you would NOT take "special offense?"

    Get the US down to double digit deaths per day instead of four digits and I'll think about it.

    BTW those are not Chyrons, those are lower thirds, a Chyron is the device that is used to build the lower third images and insert them into the video frame.

    Diversion noted. The facts remain about Biden, he opposed the travel restrictions and use them to attack Trump. Had Biden been president the situation would have been exponentially worse.

    The fact remains that this thread is about Trump's press conferences and his statements.

    Not your attempt to fabricate evidence about Biden.

    Give me the time mark where he says he supports what Trump was doing with the travel restrictions.

    No fabrication and you have been talking the travel restrictions page after page. The fact remains had Biden been president there would have been no travel restrictions January 31 and the deaths would have been exponentially higher.

    And I think it is now obvious you cannot show where Biden supported those restrictions.

    I literally quoted you the statement from Biden in support of the restriction.

    But if you think the travel restriction resulted in exponentially less deaths, prove it. Or - at a minimum - find me a single reputable attempt to model or estimate the impact from trump's magical bandaid that somehow negates all of the other **** ups he made.

    So now you have gone from supporting your own claim that Biden called the travel ban xenophobic to demanding proof that Biden supported that one policy at the time that Trump made them.

    I've changed nothing still waiting for you and the Bidenites show where he supported the travel ban when it was issued.

    You wouldn't prefer to see proof that Biden called for more testing and more PPEs explicitly at the same time that trump said anyone who wants a test can get one and that there are no issues with PPEs?

    Let's pretend that the partial travel restriction actually accomplished something, what did Trump do with the extra time that it supposedly bought? He was asked that question explicitly and I hope you can come up with a better answer than he did.

    Why are you referring the models as anything but a joke? We now know they were wildly wrong. Why would you turn to them as proof of anything now?

    Because that is all the anti-Trumpers have to fall back on, they care less about reality, all that matters to them is bashing Trump, reality be dammed.

    The world saw this and was hopeful that sooner or later America would wake up to this train wreck. People across the world can only hope, they pray, they fret and then they ask themselves "Self, if this is the best mankind can offer us then we are truly f-ed."
