    Yes. And no matter who wins in November, we will have one in office in January, too.

    This is truly bloody insane. What IS this ****. Some guy goes out and kills 10/11 people and we call him a mass murderer and the entire police of the whole nation, sometimes even the world, goes after him. This guy kills thousands and you just say "meh".

    Was that what we were doing with Hitler? Were the Jews "playing the death card"? He's KILLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND YOU JUST ACT LIKE IT'S NOTHING . What is the MATTER with you?

    Yep another book out pointing how deplorable this man is. This time with recording of the conversation.

    Being dishonest to the American public about the seriousness and dangers of covid is disgusting to say the least. No way this can be downplayed, almost 200,000 people died and we have lost complete control of the spread at this point in time and it's expected to get worse. Trump knew it was far more dangerous than the Flu Feb 17.

    https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...ksource_4380645_1_heads_hero_live_twopack_hed

    President Donald Trump, in an interview with journalist Bob Woodward, has admitted to deliberately minimizing the seriousness of the novel coronavirus to the public despite understanding its true danger, according to reports on Wednesday.

    "I wanted to always play it down," Trump said on March 19, according to CNN, which obtained an audio recording of the interview, and The Washington Post. "I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic."

    LOL even Fox news is like WTF.

    The truth of the tapes has set us free. He's no Patriot or a Nationalist, he's a self serving jackass who thinks of himself.

    My point is that Woodward, like the rest of the MSM, is not a reliable source of information. The presumption should alway be: MSM = Fake News.

    So Trump speaking is fake news? Huh?

    Or, are you claiming that Woodward got Trump to say a bunch of words for nine hours, and edited the tape to make it sound like Trump knew the virus was deadly?

    Hardly. He is probably less criminal, but after having been in the Senate for that long, we know he's corrupt.

    February. When Biden was calling Trump xenophobic and Pelosi was going to Chinatown to eat at a public restaurant with no mask.


    Right.

    That is an emotional reaction. He is doing neither.

    All virus infections are deadly.
    Trump apparently agreed with the experts that this one was especially deadly.
    Is this supposed to be "news"?

    Associating a Chinese restaurant with a virus originating in China is pretty ignorant.

    So, Pelosi has opposed the lockdown from the beginning, and going to the hair salon may have been a crime, but not hypocrisy.

    That's the best spin on it yet, but it's still spin. Because the "news" is that not only didn't he tell us any of this, he actively told us the opposite in his perceived political benefit.

    Right! Its like they are trying to frame caution and common sense as somehow scandalous even though they opposed caution and common sense at the time.

    Scratching my head at the defense of Trump. What AmericanNationalist said - he actively lied to us. His supporters ate it up like candy, and have been in denial since day 1. And here we are, laughing stock of the rest of the world, who mostly managed to get their **** together.
