    Thank you for the silliest post of the day so far. Trump did nothing to the economy, in fact, he is doing everything possible to keep it intact. Take off the blinders and stop repeating MSNBS and CNN crap.

    Trump did do something. He banned travel from China and was called Xenophobic while being impeached.

    Trump is the man! He thumbs his nose at the dems.

    What makes you think that South Korea's actions could be duplicated in the United States.?

    Obviously our actions COULD NOT BE duplicated to those of South Korea.We are acting as 50 separate countries with our president admitting he will help the governors who kiss his ***, and ignore those who don't.

    The answer is a big YES;

    "President Donald Trump ignored reports from US intelligence agencies starting in January that warned of the scale and intensity of the coronavirus outbreak in China, The Washington Post reported Friday.

    "Citing US officials familiar with the agencies' reports and warnings, the Post reported that intelligence agencies depicted the nature and global spread of the virus and China's apparent downplaying of its severity, as well as the potential need for government measures to contain it -- while Trump opted to dismiss or simply not address their seriousness."

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/20/politics/us-intelligence-reports-trump-coronavirus/index.html

    On January 30th he said;

    "Trump said Thursday U.S. officials have the coronavirus outbreak “all under control,” adding that it’s a “very small problem in this country.”

    You can't ignore facts. You can't scream fake news and have a shred of integrity. The President failed to act quickly, even after being warned.

    And just what was happening to the Trump presidency throughout January 2020? Yes, he was battling impeachment.

    Sure you can. While Trump was limiting travel from China, Pelosi, who delayed US aid for the Chinese Virus, was impeaching him for briefly holding up aid to Ukraine. It was claimed that Trump was motivated by racism when he wisely limited travel from China. While Pelosi was tilting at the impeachment windmills, and forcing the Senate to stop all other work, the Chinese Virus was starting it's deadly campaign against the American People.

    It took 13 days for deaths to go from 10 to a 100.
    8 days to go from 100 to a 1,000
    How many days will it take to go from 1,000 to 10,000?

    It's true we could have acted quicker, but we are Americans, to tell us to stay home would have not worked! We react to severity, not to threats and scary stories, we are/have been over saturated with the threat of collapse and no longer find it concerning! So as far as pre-preparation, sure, but that's hardly the blame of this President but a blame of all Presidents and individual and all Americans combined.. We never think ahead in this situations..

    His mockery of the scientists is disturbing. He didn't take it seriously, as his gut said it was not a big deal. I hate Trump's gut, because it's never right.

    You have to know the truth to tell, do you actually think Chiner was honest with you!

    Anyone who cannot agree that all our borders should be closed to all but essential commercial crossing simply wants more people sick.

    The left refuse to consider that.. Once it was introduced to an airport, ANY airport the entire planet was in play. Wouldn't matter who was President at that point! Only God could save the world at that point ;)

    Then we'll learn maybe, clearly we didn't learn a damn thing from Mr Obatard, considering you all are pointing the finger at a guy with only 3 ears that somehow wasn't prepared follow a tool that had eight years to LEAVE him prepared ;)

    Only three years? Dude - that's 3/4 of the time he's going to be in office. Obama was only in office one year when he had to deal with a Great Recession, Two wars and the H1N1 crisis. Why is Trump overwhelmed?

    It's only this bad because people don't trust Trump to handle it. End of story.

    About the best he could do is act like a real man. A real leader. One who cares for Country and it's people.
    He could pull the country together instead of his continuing to pit 1 group of people against the rest of the world.
    Instead, all he cares about is November 2020 and the election.
    A f'n loser.
    The impeached prez should have been removed from office and a real leader should be at the helm.
    Instead we get more of the impeached clown.
