    Yup, outrageously good. He's easily a shoe in for reelection.

    For those to busy posting memes and insulting people i will post this reminder
    "As a matter of practice the National Center for Medical Intelligence does not comment publicly on specific intelligence matters. However, in the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists," the statement said.\

    the Defense Department provided a statement from Col. R. Shane Day, Director of the NCMI.

    Trump would be better off if just presenting the MSNBC narrative about our “hopeless situation” and how “we’re all gonna die”.

    That’s not what the science says. Whatever peak we reach, it can evaporate in an instance if we relax the effort. It’s fact, it will relain a deadly virus that will hit different areas in stages until we have herd immunities and inoculations with vaccines. It’s not a matter of, flu season is over. It’s ongoing.

    Trump is selling.....he’s not truth teller. He’d be better off if he turns the podium over to the scientists and got out of the way.
    If anyone doesn’t like msnbc and other mainstream, guess they don’t like science. Let’s all wash our hands.

    I like science and cant stand MSNBC because they are not at all scientific, and most certainly aren’t truthful.

    One notices that as the numbers of new infections taper off inside the United States and also since the numbers of dead in relation to those infected have remained very, very low a great many of our leftists have gone into a form of political mourning and are now doubling down on the "Orange Man Bad!" chanting and political propaganda efforts.

    Damn Trump for NOT jumping on the leftist generated 'We are all going to die!" bandwagon and damn Trump for having been correct across the board in regards to pretty much everything regarding how to deal with the CoronaVirus. Meh . . . so it goes.

    We are at or near peak, models show it won't be near as bad as originally thought, people are ready to get back to work, treatments and vaccines are being tested and studied.

    All of this is really pissing off the left. This is not what they want. They do not want to hear any good news, not medical treatments that are showing promise, no better models. I can hear them grinding their teeth and stomping their feet.

    I agree. I am getting tired of using the pages of Hillary Clinton's books. I no longer even laugh at her or at the DNC as I do it. Bummer.

    If this pandemic peters out too soon they will have to find something else to blame on Trump. They are running out of material.

    No kidding lol.

    Trump is literally having briefings every day, meeting with experts every day, utilizing the full power of the federal government to assist states that need help and even getting credit for doing so by some never trumper democrats. Yet all most democrats can do is criticize.

    I’d rather have Trump, the one looking for ways to protect us. Not play politics.

    Really
    Trump, he’s a real beauty. He sat on his hands for 70 days not just because he was just wrong, but incompetent.

    It's unfortunate that the majority of the population of New York City didn't jump on the leftist warning bandwagon, "We are all going to die!!" because they ignored the warnings, they ignored social distancing, they ignored the recommendation to wear masks and I know this for a fact being at the arrival gate at LaGuardia Airport on March 21st -- no masks, no safe distance from others - nothing. So all those people that didn't jump on the leftist bandwagon, "We are all going to die!', well 7,067 of them died.

    If you find it difficult to walk in someone else's shoes you may just get the opportunity to do exactly that whether you want to or not. Unless of course you heed the warning bell, "We are all going to die!" and take the appropriate precautions so that you don't fall victim to this horrendous virus, and die like the 7,067 New Yorkers that tragically did.

    Dems want Trump to act terrified and lose his mind so they can claim he’s not fit to be re-elected. If he’s calm and optimistic he sucks and doesn’t care. If he’s too emotional or fatalistic he’ll also suck. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. So it’s better to ignore all their hysteria.

    Dems can’t be appeased so who cares about them. They’re already rooting for our failure. The positive news with flattening the curve must be so frightening for them since according to their words, they’re banking on deaths being their saving grace getting Biden elected.

    Nope, he conducted a travel ban weeks before even Pelosi was encouraging people to get out in large numbers in china town.

    That travel ban bought us much needed time according to Dr. Fauci. And by buying us time, saved lives.

    dems were too busy with a phony impeachment trial to pay attention to anything else. Trump was excoriated for closing travel from china, which likely saved many many lives.

    I think what is confusing our political leftists is their belief that leadership is all about appearance, how youthful and healthy one looks on camera, how expensive one's business attire, and whether or not one possesses a deeply melodious voice while rigidly speaking from a teleprompter. They are all about image over substance whereas Trump is all about substance -- and to hell with superficial image. He throws them off their game since they figure that any president not all about image must automatically fail at everything he does . . . and Trump almost never fails at anything.
