    Fanatical Trump worshippers' delusions aside, the simple, well-documented truth is that Trump has repeatedly spewed blatant falsehoods - claiming the coronvirus was under control, was nothing to worry about, that it was simply going to go away, that everyone who had it was getting better, that anyone who needed a test could get a test, that hospitals did not need the personal protective equipment and ventilators for which they were pleading, all as he befouled his alleged news conferences with his embarrassing self-congratulations, derisive nicknames to mock political rivals, and with blame for his predecessor, continually lashing out at reporters who posed questions he doesn't want to address, and all while issuing a stream of dubious or false assertions.

    Nothing about what I said is fanatical or a delusion, its the truth. Even never trumpers are admitting it. He has put forth excellent information that has his rating YUGE, his information is accurate and backed by doctors, many of which on his coronavirus team. He has propped up medicine that ultimately he was proven right on and helped many doctors and their patients.

    His actions have saved lives, from the travel ban to utilizing the entire power of the federal govt to assist states as they request.

    Excellent job President Trump!

    You're right, I'll just sit back and wait as the Trumpsters follow their leader.

    I suspect that you actually believe that despite all the irrefutable, documented evidence to the contrary. Some, inexplicably, have an emotional dependence that is impervious to reason.

    There isn’t irrefutable evidence to the contrary, the reality is everything that :I have said is TRUE. Even backed by experts like Dr.Fauci. You simply dont like it, because Trump was right and has saved many lives.

    The dems worst nightmare...Trump doing a great job.

    Gotta deny it at any cost!

    So you plan on following Biden The Dementia:) If he picks Harris or Pocahontas as his running mate everyone with a brain knows she’ll be POTUS in a month after he hands over the reins. And the two of them were already rejected and loathed.

    Good luck in Nov if the economy is improving by then which we better damn hope it is. If it’s not, there won’t be much of a country left worth saving anyhow.

    Yeah. Good luck proving his actions killed anyone. If you want to use that logic Obama is responsible for every H1N1 death. See how that plays out in court. /boggle

    “Donald Trump’s top coronavirus adviser has warned again that there is no scientific evidence to support the use of an unproven anti-malaria drug the president has been pushing as a possible remedy for Covid-19.”

    are you going to take Trumps advice over his own Coronavirus advisor ?
    Or Harvard med, or Johns Hopkins or......

    False, it has shown to be useful against the china virus. Many doctors have used it and its even approved by the FDA for use against it.

    So much is predicated on the death rate. If you have a cardiac embolism and you die, but have tested positive for China Virus, you are added to that statistic. Figures don't lie but liars figure.....and you my friend are, knowingly or unknowingly a student of "Rules For Radicals 101" never let a crisis go to waste.

    They have had proven success in France and are beginning to here. Don't you just hate it when the President's ideas are fruitful?

    Should be a note of interest here to illuminate the subject further.....

    U.S. spy agencies collected raw intelligence hinting at public health crisis in Wuhan, China, in November

    But the current and former officials told NBC News that while no formal assessment was produced in November — and hence no "intelligence product," in the jargon of the spy agencies — there was intelligence that caught the attention of public health analysts and fueled formal assessments that were written in December. That material and other information, including some from news and social media reports, ultimately found its way into President Donald Trump's intelligence briefing book in January. It is unknown whether he read the information.

    James Kudla, a spokesman for the Defense Intelligence Agency, declined to comment beyond the NCMI statement.

    Air Force Gen. John Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Thursday that he did not see intelligence reports on the coronavirus until January.

    "We went back and looked at everything in November and December," he said. "The first indication we have were the reports out of China in late December that were in the public forum. And the first intel reports I saw were in January."

    Even after public health authorities began sounding the alarm in January, the U.S. took few steps to ready itself for a pandemic. There was no effort to boost national stockpiles of medical equipment or encourage social distancing, for example. While Trump touts his decision to stop flights from China coming to the U.S. on Jan. 31, about 381,000 people had flown from China to the U.S. in January, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

    T^rump is a "cheerleader"

    Of course if you think about an NFL team or a MLB team or whatever...which can you do without and not skip a beat?

    The Coach/Manager or the cheerleader?

    We need a leader and we get a bellicose cheerleader

    Ohhhh

    Trump promises 27 million tests by the end of March. March has come and gone and we've tested....one million and the Federal government just tried to pull funding for even THAT

    No. It’s not worthy of thought from anyone who doesn’t know or believe in science, medical or otherwise. People who do wouldn’t ask such a perverted question .

    It wasn’t the first time he lied. Whenever I’m forced to listen to his hogwash, I close my ears and wait for anyone else after him to decipher what just happened.
