Source: Trump still not grasping the severity of the pandemic

[ProVobis]

the U.S. should seek to set up some other international cooperative group, if that’s desirable at all, that is not a sock puppet of China.

Good luck with creating a politics-free organization of this type.

Didnt need a source to tell us that he doesn’t grasp it.
The Jonathon Swan interview made it beyond crystal clear that he doesn’t grasp it

Is that the guy’s name who did the interview? He needs to go back to school.
His interview was a joke.

 

[ProVobis]

I don’t hate Trump, but I do hate many of his policies. Don’t confuse the two.

Don’t worry about it. There are plenty of videos of Trump encouraging hate.

In the beginning, no one knew exactly what we were dealing with

And some would argue, still don’t! And therein lies the rub. The left media would have you believe that everyone has had this virus figured out, and for quite some time now, everyone but Trump. I hate being this cynical. But I trust the media about as far as I trust Kim Jong-un…maybe just a little less.

Testing seems to be the trouble…Trump, time and time again tells us that if we wouldn’t test so much there wouldn’t be so many cases…I guess if we wouldn’t give so many breathelizer tests there wouldn’t be so many DUIs, and if we wouldn’t give so many pregnancy tests there would be fewer babies born?

And if we do fewer testing for Cancer, there would not be as many Cancer deaths!!!

What a Novel idea!

That is a silly comparison. For one, cancer is not contagious. Second, covid-19 cases can asymptomatic, mild to medium symptoms. Positive cancer diagnosis
always has to be treated and cannot be ignored. I would say more people die from cancer than covid-19.

This left media was not elected to lead the #1 superpower of the world. Trump was. And it’s not like he doesn’t get any free airtime.

I agree. They are expecting President Trump to be some kind of miracle worker.
No other country has the virus figured out, but somehow the president is being
singled out and castigated because people are dying during a pandemic of a highly contagious virus and it is all his fault! Never mind they are dying all around the world.

 

[AngelaMarie]

Completely and fully disagree. His interview was broad and challenging.
It’s what a good journalist does.

The US leads all other countries in covid 19 deaths. Quite a feat given that the US has only 4% of the world’s population.

But like I said, I have already come across a dozen or more this week so far that are ridiculously pro-trump, far more than this is anti-Trump.

Dunno. As of this moment, five of the first six stories in the World News category certainly don’t seem favorable to Mr. Trump…or am I missing something?

For what it’s worth, I don’t think that some of these stories are anti-Trump. Whether one is in support of the president or against the president, it is true that Facebook removed a post of him making the claim that children are “virtually immune” to COVID-19.

 

[7_Sorrows]

No, he was following the democrat talking points. He also was very juvenile with
his exaggerated expressions. He put on quite a performance. I applaud President Trump for even agreeing to do the interview.

 

[Mark121359]

No. But this left media despises the very fact that he was ever even elected president in the first place. Have you forgotten about the long, sorrowful looking faces of “journalists” on every liberal news outlet in America, deep into the wee hours of the morning during election night 2016? It was as if they were at a wake in deep, deep mourning. It was a sight that I won’t soon forget. (Please Google the videos to refresh your memory.) And they’ve been attacking him tooth and nail relentlessly ever since. They don’t just disagree with him. They hate him!

Because international cooperation and sharing of information is an asset in a crisis.

 

[ProVobis]

They hate him!

Trump encourages hate.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Because international cooperation and sharing of information is an asset in a crisis

And if, as with the coronavirus, the “sharing” is deceptive and leads to sickness and death in this country, why is that an asset?

 

[AngelaMarie]

He was asking and pressing Trump on questions that any good journalist should have.
Nothing softball about that interview.

 

[dscath]

They are expecting President Trump to be some kind of miracle worker.

Quite the contrary…what is expected (by whoever “they” are) is that the President of the United States is willing and capable of handling the heavy demands of the office.

Trump, I am sure, is trying the best he can, but his best fall shorts of the needs and expectations of the job.

Wrong person, wrong place, wrong time, wrong job…time for change.

I don’t need any “source” to figure this out. His actions and statements confirm that he is neither grasping the situation or dealing with it.

Begs the question:
How could you possible know anything without a source? You do have a source, or you wouldn’t have an informed opinion about someone you’ve never spoken to.
So you have to evaluate the quality of your opinion based on the quality of your sources, just everyone else. Tough to do these days.

No, the U.S. is number 8 behind Belgium, UK, Peru, Spain, Italy, Sweden and Chile.

My “source” is the President who talks about this topic pretty much daily, which informs my opinion of how he is handling it (or not, as it turns out).
