We need Reagan v Soviet leadership. W after 9/11. For all their flaws, they didn’t come out everyday and attack half the country for not agreeing with them. They called for unity.

I agree, but did you expect any different from him? There is only one person that matters to him, and he entertains that person with every word.

would Trump possibly be more uniting, more like people want, if the media was more respectful and not using covid19 for this political agenda.

Trump often reacts. if the media is going to constantly attack him then I'm not surprised that he is going to be defensive and counter that.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the one that hit NYC.

I saw my neighbor for the first time in a while. He went to the hospital 5 weeks ago, came back 3 weeks ago, and still looks like ****. Big bags, harsh cough, lost weight, etc. It was sad to see, he’s such a good guy. Luckily he’s able to move up and about but he’s probably the worst case of getting the virus and surviving that I know of.

Being largely right about this pandemic and changing over time based on new data available and so on is an example of no one is perfect. That is still following science

Making this political to downplay it/it will go away and attacking others while having guidelines then riling people up with his BS tweets against following them etc. is not just an example of no one if perfect. It is a consistent behavior from the POTUS that should not just be ignored and is not still following/based on science. It's based on him/his team winning over and over and over.

Yeah, Trump is a dick. Anybody arguing otherwise is lying, either to others or to themselves.

Nah, I'm okay with biased sources, it's just important that we know.

That sucks to hear. This virus is ****ing ugly.

They were talking about the multi-strains a few months ago and weren't certain which was going to hit us. Once the infection and death rate hit, everything that I was hearing was that the east coast was hit with the mutation.

Ya that was meant to quote Sluggo/Fingerbang, guess I messed up. One keeps making the point others screwed up too without context and the other is posting as if everyone is just out to get Trump.

People can point out the obvious about Trump and who he his/how he handled this without it being some conspiracy to get him. It's reality and he is the POTUS lol.

How come Trump gets all the criticism? The dems fought a travel ban from China. I would think with all the hpperbolic language in here you wouldn't want to be flying in the virus, lol.

Honestly, he's done enough since he started running for prez that the majority of his non-supporters are not going to accept/follow what he says no matter what it is.

Yeah, he said things that were false. This is an easy playbook. Tell the people what we know, what we dont know, give a unity speech, present a clear message, and get out of the way of the people that know better than you. He cant just get out of his own way.
