    LOL, what??

    Newsflash: Biden isn't POTUS, Trump is. It is his responsibility to be transparent and not lie to the people who voted him in office.

    Even bending reality as the Trumpsters know how to do so well, the fact remains that neither Biden nor Pelosi bear responsibility for making decisions that contributed to the killing of 200,000 Americans.

    The DP even opposed Trump's decision to stop travel from China.

    Did The DP party bosses ever shut down the subways?

    So do you truly believe that Bob Woodward edited nine hours of Trump talking to make it sound like what it sounds like? OMG with some of you.

    I guess he really could murder someone on 5th Avenue. None of you would care.

    Pro tip, though - You may love and worship him, but he despises you, and his actions prove this.

    Trump slaps tariffs on China, (motive) China prefers Biden (more motive) just so happens on an election year (smells fishy) China lied to the world and the WHO did as well, China shut down domestic travel but lets citizens fly around the globe (the most damning indictment in my mind) Dr whistleblower gets disappeared (wonder why?) An act of biological and economic warfare? Then the media uses it to continually smear the President. Here is various reports from early on.[​IMG]

    Reality really bites - doesn't it? ;-)

    “The Media Insight poll found that close to 90% of Americans consider it extremely important or very important that journalists get their facts right. As in RatherGate and so many other cases, the media not only gets the facts wrong but also uses them as political weapons.”

    Virtually no one still trusts the Fake News MSM. Try to adjust. :)

    That is the most rabid response I've heard yet!!! Are you saying Trump created this virus in a lab? HA!
    Democrats were so busy frothing at the mouth with their failed "Coup Attempt"....all this went right over their heads. Nanci was talking about having wild parties in Chinatown, and China Joe was calling our President "xenophobic" for closing our borders. There is not one solution the left could come up with to do better.....even in hindsight. Trump shut down the roaring economy until it was determined it would be better to treat this thing regionally.

    The left wanted it one of two ways.....shut the economy down completely to plunge us into a Depression, or allow the Pandemic to go rampant killing in excess of a quarter million. That would be bad for America but it would insure "Sleepy Joe" and his Marxist handlers a victory. With Trump's leadership we avoided both. The electorate realizes this. Obviously there will be more sloppy October surprises put forth, but I am waiting for Mr. Tough to go off script and debate my President! Think he's up to it?

    Officials always try not to incite panic. It's part of the job.
    Trump's mistake was trusting the experts and supporting the DP lockdown policy.
    But the DP party bosses have inoculated Trump from blame.

    Trump was knowingly recorded during these interviews. The gun is still smoking.

    Oh, never mind then. It's all good.

    WTF? I don't play whataboutism. Two people can do bad things. They don't cancel each other out and become good things.

    Take each thing on its' own merit. This is hard for partisans, but it's very freeing for many of us.

    I can't imagine the twisty pretzel movements that have to take place in your head to make this okay.

    He told Woodward it’s nothing like the flu
    Then told us it’s like the flu

    No ....it shows the electorate how desperate the left is to get media attention away from Marxist rioting. How could the China Virus have been handled any better? Had the economy been shut down longer, suicides, domestic violence and drug use would be even higher than it is. What.....didn't the anonymous lie about "losers on the battlefield" get enough traction?? I expect a few more of these but I think the debate will seal it all up if Sleepy Joe has to go off script. Soft emotional Joe or Tough, take you behind the Gym Joe. Which will it be??? If he stays awake it will be entertaining![/QUOTE]

    You can not cause panic and not lie at the same time. Leadership skills are required though, so, it's simple to see why Trump didn't think it was possible.

    In fact, it is a nothing story, and Trump will not be blamed for following the advice of the experts. Try not to be too disappointed. :)

    There's not inciting panic, and then there's outright lying. We would've been better served had he said nothing.

    We'll see. You just keep on worshiping the lying clown. He loves his worshipers. He doesn't like any of you, but he loves the fact that you worship him.

    But plenty of people did tell the truth and there was minimal panic. He could have said it’s serious and been the top mask advocate in America. Instead he mocks people who wear them. He’s a troll, not a leader.

    Your thread title is misleading.
